1.3 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the FDM-DUO. It is an innovative dual mode SDR (Software Defined Radio)
transceiver covering the frequency range from 9kHz to 54MHz. The FDM-DUO can be used like a
standard transceiver in stand-alone mode or in remote mode to exploit the full potential of the ELAD
FDM-SW2 software. The FDM-DUO can still be connected to the FDM-SW2 software when it works in
"stand-alone" mode.
NOTE: For detailed information about ELAD FDM-SW2 software refer to user manual available at
http://sdr.eladit.com/FDM-sw2 20Software/Doc/
1.3.1 Main Features
Reception frequency range: 9kHz to 54MHz in direct sampling mode.
Transmission bands: 160m to 6m.
Selectable output power of 5W or 0dBm RF Out connector.
Double antenna connectors (RTX for single antenna use or RX/TX for separated antenna use).
Operating modes: CW, CWR, LSB, USB, AM and FM.
ADC Linear LTC2165,16bit @122.88MHz.
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.
TX modulator with STM32F4 floating point μP + AD9957 DDS @368.64 MHz.
Clocking source Si5338 driven by 10MHz TCXO or external reference input.
TX modulator from I2S source: MIC using Cirrus CS5346 or USB integrated Codec (CM6510B
codec with customized firmware).
CAT USB interface with FTDI controller.

1.4 Precautions
Connect the transceiver 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 transceiver 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.
