The SX-H30 is a handheld radio monitoring and direction-finding system specifically designed for portable and mobile applications. It integrates the antenna, receiver, display, and control into a single host unit, allowing for convenient one-handed operation. With its advanced software features, the SX-H30 is well-suited for various scenarios requiring radio monitoring and direction-finding capabilities.

Platform
The software system of SX-H30 is built as a platform, supports install a variety of apps (such as Monitoring, Playback, Interference Locating, UAV Locating, etc.), to meet requirements of different scenarios.
-
Panorama Scanning
Once the start frequency, stop frequency, and step for Panorama Scanning are configured, all signals in the set frequency band are displayed as spectrum. User could open markers to select interested signals, then click the FFM button for bring selected frequency to the FFM (Fixed Frequency Monitoring) mode.
-
By selecting a pre-saved background spectrum sample in Panorama Scanning mode, the system will compare current scanned signals with this background sample. If there is any discrepancy over the threshold, the system will add these signals into the “Newly Found Signal List”. This list can be displayed on-screen or exported as a text file. Additionally, users can further classify signals as legal, illegal, or unknown based on their choice. Depending on this classification, the signal will either be merged into the background or highlighted for further attention.
-
Memory Scanning
SX-H30 supports saving user-interested frequencies to a channel table, each with different parameters. Memory Scanning mode allows the instrument to switch receiving parameters between those channels, and displayed as the real-time strength of signals graphically.
-
Fixed Frequency Mode
The fixed frequency measurement of SX-H30 supports the display of different trace lines, Includes: real-time, peak and average, as well as waterfall diagram. Except the spectrum traces refreshing, analog signals can be demodulated simultaneously. Additionally, user may enable the options of ITU recommended monitoring parameters, such as: frequency, level, bandwidth, modulation, etc. Those measurement results would be updated automatically and frequently during FFM mode operation. Furthermore, the system provides optional capabilities like “Modulation Auto Identification” and “Digital Trunking and Walkie-talkie Demodulation”.

Digital Phosphor Spectrum
Digital Phosphor Spectrum has been introduced into SX-H30, which is capable to run FFT up to 100000 frames per second, and generating Digital Phosphor Spectrum images. Digital Phosphor Spectrum images using pixels of different color to demonstrate occurrence ratio across different frequencies and levels. Through these images, multiple signals within same frequency range shall be clearly observed and effectively separated. User may resolve co-frequency interferences by means of the Direction Finding function under Digital Phosphor Spectrum.
