For those interested in the Elad FDM-S2, from the sdr-radio list....and no, I haven't tried it yet. Posted by "Nils Schiffhauer" <[email protected]>
best wishes, Nick
Hi - to test and to try out receivers had been a difficult animal. With SDRs, their freely available software and some HF-files all has changed: Do it yourself! I had prepared such a test drive with a 6 MHz wide HF file (actually three, chained automatically by the software), centered around 10 MHz, just 20 minutes after local sunset at 17:00 UTC on a 83 m long piece of wire with ELAD's FDM-SW2. A screenshot of the whole recording as sonagram (blow it up to 100% - woow!) can be downloaded at: <http://sdr.eladit.com/Sample%20wav-files/DK8OK/10MHzCF_5MHzWidth_1700UTC/10 mhzcf_131s.png> It has been made with Simon Brown's "SDR-RADIO.COM". Then you may view a video with some examples from this file (broadcast as well as utility) at: <http://sdr.eladit.com/Sample%20wav-files/DK8OK/Video/> To actually take a test drive, you have first to download the software FDM-SW2 itself; it's free: <http://sdr.eladit.com/FDM-sw2%20Software/FDM-SW2_complete_setup_sw_1_03Beta 10/> Install it. Then download the three HF (WAV) files from this folder: <http://sdr.eladit.com/Sample%20wav-files/DK8OK/10MHzCF_5MHzWidth_1700UTC/> This may take a while, for they weigh 4 GB. Copy them into the "Recordings" folder of FDM-SW2 software. Start software FDM-SW2, click onto "Offline", then into "File", and choose the first WAV-file. Start playing. During playing, they are automatically chained. As the recording in wide, but short, you may activate the loop function. Now try out the receiver/file, as you like - it's a feeling really like "live"! Hopefully, your PC accepts these big files, and is not stuttering. It all works fluently on a PC, state-of-the-art. It is planned to upload also smaller files. Critics & comments welcomed! --- 73, Nils, DK8OK
