Broadcast Transmission Testing
Lightly used in good condition. Unit has been tested with
the 2WCOM monitoring software v2.71 and the results shown in
the screenshots obtained (note that just a short wire
antenna was used so the RF signal is weak). I was able to
run the monitoring application under Windows 10 64Bit and
communicate via both RS-232 (Null cable needed), and via the
LAN connection. The internal 3.6V Lithium memory back
up battery has just been replaced. I can send the buyer the
monitoring software I used for my testing if required. The
product manual may be found at https://www.prostudioconnection.net/2605/W2COM_A20Lab_Manual_V1.26.pdf.
In my testing I wasn't able to use the MP3 streaming feature
- it may have been a firewall issue or that the
implementation isn't compatible with modern players.
Description
The 2Wcom A20 FM Monitoring Decoder enables you to monitor
either your own frequency continuously and/or to be informed
about your neighborhood station as well. The A20 offers
economic quality control for radio stations. The PC software
A20Lab allows you to monitor all parameters and measurement
values your 2wcom A20 is able to receive. Together with the
RDS decoding software RDS Lab it is possible to monitor RDS
extensively. The optional RDS Logger software is adapted for
further documentation purposes. All RDS group data are
recorded and written into log files and can even be played
back. The RDS software is not included with this purchase.
