SDR - Software Defined Radio / Anyone using an ELAD FDM-S1???

« on: July 22, 2013, 0148 UTC »

After looking over the ELAD FDM-S1, I decided to try one... SDR #4 for me [Bug has bit me BAD!]
Just wondered if anyone else has used one?

Very nice radio at just under $500 USD which is mid-priced between AFEDRI-Net [@$250] & my most prized Perseus [@$999 USD]

2 main selling points for me:
- USB powered [less cumbersome that using a wall wart]
- an awesome GUI with ELAD SDRWAV especially the Spectral Display!!!

Now, I anxiously await its' arrival!!!

73 Good DX de Rafman
Listening down here in Southside Virginia
