4 Quick Start

These instructions are intended only for a quick guide, detailed instructions are given later in this manual.

4.1 First of all

To avoid having a forest of buttons and knobs as front panel, each control has different operating modes. The buttons can be “short pressed” or “long pressed” to activate different functions. The different functions associated to each pressure are written in different colors just above the corresponding

button. Each top white label is associated to the “short pressure” on the button, while the lower blue label is associated to the “long pressure”.

swaps A and B VFOs if “short pressed”, and swaps VFO and Memory mode if “long pressed”. The A/B label refers to the A/B VFO swap obtained with a “short pressure”. The M label refers to the VFO/Memory mode swap obtained with a “long pressure”.

A button is “long pressed” when it is kept pressed for more than 1 sec. This value can be changed using menu 71 ( Hold Time ) as explained in section 5.9 List.

The knobs can be pressed as well to control a different parameter.

The E1 knob usually controls the audio volume, but if pressed once it controls the squelch value.

4.2 Reset

When first approaching a largely programmable device like FDM-DUO it is nearly unavoidable to mess some parameters with useless values. This is not a problem and should not prevent users from trying the different settings, since a “reset” command is available to bring back the device to the factory settings.

The reset procedure is quite simple:

• short press the MENU button

• turn the F2 knob until reading 81 DEFAULT on the display

• short press the E2 knob to show “N” on the right of DEFAULT

• turn the E2 knob to change “N” to “Y”

• short press the E2 knob

• wait for the radio reset and restart

4.3 A first trip

A radio like FDM-DUO has many possible application scenarios, both used as a stand-alone device, and paired with its mate software. In this section the simplest and most common uses will be shown, to allow a first familiarization with FDM-DUO.

4.3.1 Reception

The first use for FDM-DUO is, clearly, reception. To do that, just connect the device to a 12V power supply (or to a battery) and turn it on by using the back switch.

After some secs the device is in reception mode with VFO A enabled.

In case of need it is possible to use the E1 knob to control the “Mic Gain”: a short pressure on the E1 knob lets you control the Mic Gain instead of Volume, and vice versa.

Transmission in AM, SSB and FM Mode

The E1 knob controls the Volume or the CW speed (in WPM). The two functions can be swapped with a short press on the E1 knob.

Transmission in CW

Using the parameter 73 – “BACKLIGHT CHANGING” it is possible to disable this change if it is deemed annoying, for example when operating in CW Break In mode.

4.3.2 Transmission

Before transmitting, always check the antenna conditions, so as to avoid problems to the PA; this must be done on a free frequency to avoid disturbing any running QSOs.

When FDM-DUO is transmitting, the display changes its backlight.

To transmit you just have to use the PTT on the mike and speak.

5.2 Split Functionality

Usually you can communicate with other stations using a single frequency for receiving and transmitting. In this case, you select only one frequency on either VFO-A or VFO-B. However, there are cases where you must select one frequency for receiving and a different frequency for transmitting. This

requires the use of 2 VFOs. This is referred to as “Split”. To activate the Split, select the “Split” option in the F4 or the F5 settings menu, then apply a long

pressure on F4 or F5.

In Split the VFO-A is used to receive

The transmission frequency is set to the VFO-B frequency

Notes :

- when the split functionality is activated the "SP" letters appear above the letter of the VFO

(A or B),

- the split functionality is not available in MEM mode,

- when the split functionality is activated with the F4/F5 keys it is called stand-alone split, when

the split functionality is activated by the FDM-SW2 software it is called remote split,

- when the remote split is active you can change the mode and frequency of the VFO-B only with

the FDM-SW2 software, these parameters are then not settable from the FDM-DUO front panel.

5.3 MEM Mode

To activate the memory mode, apply a long pressure on . In MEM mode it is possible to receive, transmit and change the E1/E2 settings in the same way of the VFO mode.

5.3.1 Select and edit a memory

Use the main knob to select a memory. Apply a long pressure on the main encoder to enter the edit memory menu. In this menu it is possible to modify the selected memory frequency in digit by digit mode.

5.3.2 Delete a memory

Apply a long pressure to the key to enter the delete menu.

Use the E2 knob to set yes or no and make a short pressure on E2 to confirm.

5.3.3 Set memory to VFO

Use the button to select the VFO-A/B. Use the key to set in the selected VFO the selected memory frequency and mode. When this function is used, the FDM-DUO automatically switches to the VFO mode.

5.3.4 Change the memory display mode

Apply a short pressure on the key to show the memory label in the LCD main display. Press shortly again to return to display the memory frequency.

You can use the “FDM-DUO Manager” feature in the ELAD FDM-SW2 software to customize the memory channels.

5.4 Antenna Tuning Mode

In VFO or MEM mode, apply a long pressure on key to switch to the Antenna Tuning Mode

In this mode a tone at the transmission frequency is generated. Use E2 to modify the transmission power.

The antenna tuning mode have a default timeout of 10s, this value can be modified in the settings menu

49 “TUNE TIME”. However you can apply a long pressure on key to exit from the antenna tuning

mode.

Note:

the timeout is not active if:

 the selected transmission output is set to 0dBm,  the “SERVICE MODE” is active.

6.1 General Specifications

The FDM-DUO transceiver uses a full-duplex, asynchronous, USB serial interface for communicating through the USB CAT port. Each data is constructed with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity is used (8N1). The baud rate is selectable in the [70] CAT BAUD menu. Available values are 9600, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps. The FDM-DUO implements proprietary commands and also a subset of the Kenwood TS-480 command set. Some of those TS-480 commands have no effect on the transceiver, they only ensure the compatibility of the FDM-DUO with Ham Radio Deluxe.

6.2 Commands Types

A CAT command is composed of an alphabetical part, various parameters and a terminator that signals the end of the command. For example to set the VFO-A to 14MHz the command is: “FA00014000000;” with :

 “FA”: alphabetical command,  “00014000000”: parameter,  “;”: terminator.

CAT commands can be classified as shown below:

EXAMPLE

 To set the VFO-A to 14MHz the PC sends the SET command type “FA00014000000;”  To read the VFO-A frequency the PC sends the READ command type “FA;”, the ANSWER

response type is returned to the PC: “FA00014000000;”.

NOTE

Some particular rules about the CAT commands on the FDM-DUO :

 not all the commands have the three types of command/response (SET, READ and ANSWER),  normally, send the SET command type will not cause the FDM-DUO to send the ANSWER

response type but if a command does not have a READ command type and has the SET and ANSWER type, then send the SET command will cause the FDM-DUO to send the ANSWER response type.
