Training  
Hoka Electronic NL offers a series of training courses for professionals  covering  both basic and advanced technical details.

These are our main proposals

[start up] [basic] [advanced] [intelligence]

As part of the courses come treaties also aspects of a general nature but of fundamental importance for the radiomonitoring professional dealing with systems of data transmission, their classification, the study of the main features, analysis, recording techniques, etc.. etc..

There are also customized solutions based on your needs such as courses aimed at smaller groups of participants, courses with continuous sessions set periods, technical support and advice occasional or continuous with you or away.

The training courses can be kept indifferently with you abroad or one of our offices. The cost of the courses, both in our offices or at your location, is appr. 1000.00 euros per day (eight hour workdays) excluding VAT. This does not include travel costs and subsistence that will be charged at cost or maybe possibly incurred directly by you. 

For any further information or clarification don't hesitate to contact us.

The training in detail

 

 

 
Start Up

Start-Up was developed for put you in a position to use our software in the best conditions and  obtain immediately the best results. The training is of short duration
(1 / 2 day) and without a real limit of participants.

These are the main points discussed:
  • installation of Code300 32

  • possible problems during installation
  • directory structure and file of Code300-32.
  • portable version
  • how to install updates
  • uninstall

  • multiple configurations
  • overview of modules decoding
  • overview of the forms of analysis
To obtain better purpose of Start Up is preferable to plan this training at your location, and for the success it is necessary to have a working radio monitoring station with these elements:
  • Receiver for HF / V-UHF
  • Antenna for HF / V-UHF

  • overview of the VHF/UHF signals of type
  • VHF Selcall, (ZVEI, CCITT, CCIR, etc.. etc.,)
  • POCSAG
  • MPT
  • EPIRB
  • Inmarsat
The training Basic can be done at your location or in one of our offices, for a good success is necessary to have a working radiomonitoring station with these elements:
  • Receiver for HF / V-UHF
  • Antenna for HF / V-UHF
  • One or two PCs equipped with Windows XP or Windows 2000
  • DAT recorder (desk or portable)
  • Audio CD Player

For students participating in the course:

  • have already attended the Start Up training or use our software for at least 4 / 6 months
  • have an HF receiver and a PC for up to two people
  • not more to 10 people per session 

Is necessary to have a day before the training to verify the proper functioning of all equipment and to study and verify how to use the spectrum HF in your area. For these preliminary tests the presence of a experienced operators is appreciated.

In some cases if it is impossible to find live signals recordings made on DAT or audio files will be used.
