Features
The WiNRADiO Telephone Control Interface (WTCI) is ideally suited for remote surveillance and monitoring of radio signals.
The unit is designed to work in conjunction with WiNRADiO wide-band communications receivers (WR-1550e, WR-3150e, WR-3500e and WR-3700e). The WTCI is connected to the receiver and a standard phone line, or optionally to a cell-phone. The user can control the receiver remotely using DTMF (touch-tone) commands, and the WTCI unit confirms received commands using a digitized voice. Received audio signals can then be listened to by the user in real time.

Remote
signal monitoring over telephone

There is no limit on how far the receiver can be located from the listener, as long as a standard telephone service exists in both locations. The WTCI unit is therefore eminently suitable for remote monitoring of transmitters in civilian as well as government and military applications. The WTCI works like an auto-answer modem. Upon dialing in, a pleasant digitized voice invites the user to enter a password. Upon successful entry of the password, the user can select from a large variety of commands. These include simple commands such as setting frequency and volume, as well as commands performing scanning, or status reading including signal strength.
The standard manual control functionality of the WTCI is supported by an optional control by a PC via a voice modem. Using this feature, networking of WTCI units is possible, as well as advanced functions such as recording. The user interface of the optional WTCI Multichannel Software is designed around familiar and intuitive WiNRADiO receiver interfacing concepts. The WTCI Multichannel Software also makes it possible to automatically monitor, log and record the audio signal, without supervision.
