It's all about the Software

Hi All...

I'm fortunate enough to be picking up an FDM-S3 later today but, as a non-ham with little or no electronics experience I really need some advice as to which power supply to purchase to get up and running.

I'll only need it for the S3 for...

Unfortunately I am also haing a problem with the S3 crashing randomly, and I have to restart the S3 to get it to work again. It's the same whether I use the Elad software or SDR Console. My laptop uses Windows 11, and I have more than adequate cpu &...

Since the beginning of this years 'E' season, I have noted that sensitivity of my S3 is not as good as it once was. A weak FM signal in slightly noisy mono on the Airspy Discovery is completely inaudible on the Elad.

When I first installed the S3...

Hello All!

I'm new here in the forum and have a question about the Software together with the FDM-S2 and the SPF-08.

Since Christmas I have had the SPF-08 compatible with the FDM-S2 and since then I can no longer use the SDR console.
The software...

I know this is our Elad SW2 software, so excuse me, Simon is on the list to get one within a few weeks so that Console can support the DCM as we are calling it. But here it is on test in the USA, got some great signals from 30miles away using a...

Suddenly my S3 has broadcast FM breaking through from long wave up to the actual FM broadcast band (87.5MHz). I was listening on MF when it started. I have not changed anything on the S3. I have a Wellbrook loop and a high gain FM antenna connected...

Hi Simon,

I'm getting an odd occurrence whilst recording in v3.027 with my S3. Randomly the waterfall will turn red and the audio goes very weird (see attached screengrab).

This happens when...

Hi,

Since few days I have the S3 here. Now I have install following Bandpass and Highpass Filters. See below.
I have configure the Filters in both Software exactly the same, but the result is not the same.

Console V3 Filter config
V3 Filter...

Could you put on your improvement list for the SDR ELAD FDM-S3 the possibility of putting the same value of Visual Gain that you planned for the FDM-S2, that is to say a maximum of - 40 dB,
Currently you have limited the FDM-S3 at -30 dB...

Hi,

I recently acquired a FDM-S3 and plan to use SDR Console with it, as that is what I use with my FDM-S2 ( which will now likely be for sale ). Anyway, the S3 runs OK with the native ELAD SW, but when I try to use COnsole it does not see the S3...

Fenu,
What filters do you have installed?

Hi,

Are here any owner from a Elad S3 with installed Bandpassfilters?
For sharing experiences....

Does Console v3 support the bandpass filter configuration/setup for the
DUOr receiver ?

Fernando, Nice idea, i'll pass onto Italy for SW2 possibilities

Hi Simon,

If you agree, I have a suggestion for the V3 in combination with the Elad S3.
Add a checkbox to bypass the Preselector next to be the Radio Configuration.

Hi Simon,

I could use you help on this issue

I am using Version 3.0.24 of SDRC with my Elad S2.

When I set the SDRC attenautor on or off, I see and hear no difference in the signal strength or in the audio level?

My noise level is high around...

Hi,
If the S3 is set with Bandwidth 24.576MHz and the Range Slider below is completly on the left side, the V3 produce images in the upper frequency range from the medium wave.

Regards
Fernando

Even on my fairly noisy band the S3 does well with MS signals

I'm having a problem analysing IQ files with my S3. It is a bit of a random problem as occasionally it's fine and then another time it is as per the screenshots.
This worked fine for a couple of days when I first got the S3 so not sure what’s gone...

Hi All,
My Elad FDM-S3 arrived yesterday. I’ve not had a great deal to play with it yet but here’s a grab of the first multi-frequency MS ping I’ve received with it. These were all German and Polish stations at 0029 this morning. Needless to say,...

I'm using an Elad FDM-S2 with SDR-Console v3.0.25. When I start the radio using a bandwidth of 1.536 MHz, everything appears to work normally. If I select a BW of 6.144 MHz when starting the radio, there appears to be artifacts spread throughout the...

The scheduler refuses to take consecutive recordings.

Hi all,

Regarding the recording situation : I operate a 12V station with solar batteries and therefore have to save electricity. A previously programmed recording starts properly. The NUC is...

Hello
Bizarre reaction with FDM-S3 and console V30.26 build 2085
I can zoom in and the markers image area moves, it grows or shrinks depending on the zoom setting
But below the image remains fixed and I hear the audio on the frequency shown
What do...

Switched from frequency 198 KHz to early MW 770 KHz band
The top part display is gone.
The rest works, lower part, waterfall and audio
A strange new phenomenon.

Well, it's finally arrived!

3 years after it was first announced, then redesigned, then the old Billy Ray got in the way delaying things further, but IMHO well worth the wait.

Mine arrived today, had no problems getting it going on the test...

The user manual for the new Elad S3 (when it eventually arrives in Europe) can be found here:

Hey All you Elad fans....
