2 FDM-DUOr Overview

2.1 Notice

Amateur radio regulations vary from country to country. Confirm your local amateur radio regulations and requirements before operating the ELAD FDM-DUOr.

2.2 Firmware versions

The features described in this manual refers the following firmware versions :

2.3 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the FDM-DUOr. It is an innovative dual mode SDR receiver covering the frequency range from 9kHz to 54MHz. The FDM-DUOr can be used like a standard receiver in standalone mode or connect to a PC to exploit the full potential of the ELAD FDM-SW2 software.

2.3.1 Main Features

 Frequency range: RX 9kHz to 54MHz direct sampling receiver  Double antenna connectors (RX input and TX input)  11 slot for user selectable filters  Operating Modes: CW LSB USB AM  ADC Linear LTC2165,16bit @122.88MHz  DDC FPGA Spartan 6 XC6SLX25 + Serial Flash for stand-alone mode  Stand-alone RX demodulator with STM32F4 ARM floating point μController  LPC1766 Cortex M3 for LCD & Keyboard control  Clocking source Si5338 driven by 10MHz TCXO or External reference input  CAT USB interface with FTDI controller

2.4 Precautions

 Connect the receiver only to a power source described in this manual.  Take care when plugging in cables, avoid applying sideways pressure that might damage the

connectors.

 Avoid operating in wet conditions.  For better performance and safety, connect the receiver to good earth ground using a short,

heavy, braided cable.

 Ground all outdoor antennas for this receiver using approved methods. Grounding helps protect

against voltage surges caused by lightning. It also reduces the chance of build-up of static charge.

7 CAT Remote Control

7.1 Introduction

The FDM-DUOr receiver 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 commands have a dummy implementation for compatibility issues with Ham Radio Deluxe.

7.2 Computer control commands

A computer control command is composed of an alphabetical command, various parameters, and the terminator that signals the of the command. For example to set the VFO-A to 14MHz the command is:

FA00014000000;

 “FA”: alphabetical command  “00014000000000”: parameter  “;”: terminator

Computer control commands can be classified as shown below:

EXAMPLE

 To set the VFO-A to 14MHz the PC sends: “FA00014000000000;” SET command  To read the VFO-A frequency the PC sends: “FA;” READ command  When this command has been sent, the following message is returned to the PC:

“FA00014000000000;” ANSWER
