Using SPF-08 with ELAD FDM-DUO SDR Transceiver When SPF-08 board is connected with an ELAD FDM-DUO SDR Transceiver, the configuration is stored in the FDM-DUO internal memory. At the startup, FDM-DUO senses the DB9 connector and if the SPF-08 board is found the transceiver automatically applies the stored configuration according to the tuning frequency. To save the desired configuration in the FDM-DUO memory, use the “FDM-DUO Manager” feature in the ELAD FMD-SW2 SDR Software. In the “SPF-08 Perselectros” panel set “YES” in the “Enable Presel SPF-08 Table” to enable the use of preselector board. The settings table is formed by 8 rows, one for each filter slot of the SPF-08 board. Each row comprises 4 fields:
ID: slot number from 1 to 8
Enabled: set “YES” to enable the selected filter
High Pass Freq: high pass frequency of the selected filter
Low Pass Freq: low pass frequency of the selected filter.
Press “Save” button to store the table in the FDM-DUO internal memory. In the following figure is reported the configuration of a SPF-08 board with:
