PLAYBOX


PLAYBOX is recommended as the first navigation tool for new JAGUAR users. Often with SDR applications large amounts of recorded files generate a new problem: how to find out where do we have "good signals" and how to navigate quickly to those times and/or to those frequencies. PLAYBOX offers a simple and handy platform for jumping to any desired HH:MM or frequency.

PLAYBOX also offers the preview of the contents of your daily recordings on each frequency - without changing the current playback itself.



HOW TO


PLAYBOX can be opened/closed by clicking one of the round corner buttons (the one on the right side down on the screen). PLAYBOX can also be closed by right-clicking the window (or clicking the tiny "x" on the top right corner of the window).



PLAYBOX can also be opened/closed by pressing ALT-O ("alternate open").

By default PLAYBOX shows the signal history for the current playback frequency for the recorded times on the current playback day. The signal strengths are shown by a colored ball for each HH:MM. These colors correspond the YAS LOG colors (so tuning the YAS LOG's color CONTRAST changes also the color of these balls).

You can jump to any recorded HH:MM by clicking the ball. In addition, there are four predefined HH:MM times available for jumping: SUNRISE (the local sunrise HH:MM), SUNSET (the local sunset HH:MM), HIGHEST (HH:MM where the carrier strength is the highest on that day) and MAX TOH (HH:MM where the carrier strength is the highest among TOHs), just click the selected item.

If the mouse cursor is over the PLAYBOX window (but not over RECDATE / CHANNEL), you can scroll from TOH to TOH by the mouse wheel or the left/right arrow keys.

PREVIEW

PLAYBOX can also be used for previewing other days / other frequencies (without jumping away from the current playback frequency and time).

If you want to preview other frequencies, move the mouse cursor over CHANNEL and scroll with the mouse wheel (or left/right arrow keys).

If you want to preview other days, move the mouse cursor over RECDATE and scroll with the mouse wheel (or left/right arrow keys). You can also use the keyboard keys N (next) and P (prev),

On a previewed window you can jump directly to any HH:MM by clicking any desired HH:MM.

AUTO-JUMP

When the PLAYBOX is active, you can still change the playback frequency from outside the PLAYBOX. In that case, you will be automatically directed to the HH:MM position shown by the HIGHEST signal strength HH:MM.
