Even though Jaguar is 100% designed for MW DXing, there may be situations when user wants to tune to SW as well. Jaguar has adequate support also for SW, for example for picking up any new station that appears on the shortwave dial.

When tuned to any SW frequency, most basic Jaguar features and displays are available. TURTLE (=MW database) will be automatically changed to RABBIT (=SW database). Frequency stepping is changed to 5kHz stepping. Also center frequency is changed automatically so "jump to SW" is all what is need to be done.

All audio related functions and CLIPPER are fully available, however SW stations are not displayed on MAPS and YAS log is not supported for SW.

HOW TO
In LIVE mode user can type any SW frequency and press ENTER. The playback control jumps to that frequency and a new center frequency will be set automatically in the background (center = given playback frequency - 10kHz).

User can also jump to SW clicking TOOLBAR > SW icon.





By default the new SW frequency is 12095kHz (used by BBC) but Jaguar remembers the last tuned SW frequency and when this SW button is clicked next time, the last tuned SW frequency will be used instead of 12095kHz.

When user wants to return back to MW, TOOLBAR > 9 | 10 icons can be clicked or any MW frequency can be given by typing it, followed by ENTER.

SW uses RABBIT database instead of TURTLE. RABBIT requires internet connection, stations listed can be selected on DATABASE BAR between ALL stations <> currently transmitting stations ("ON AIR").

SW can also be used in scheduled recordings, user just have to define corresponding SW frequency as the CENTER in MESTOR.
