You might want to download an earlier version of FDM-SW2 that includes the entire install. Some of the versions are just the FDM-SW2 without .Net. I use v1.120 as a base install (which is about 100MB)

Most unexplainable problems are fixed the same way. Make a backup copy of the ELAD folder in your “Documents” folder then delete the ELAD folder. Start FDM-SW2 and if it’s fixed recreate your previous

Franco, I have tears in my eyes. I’ll just send you a credit card and you can do what you like with it! Bill Nollman Farmington, CT

My mistake, I think the Perseus has the 1700kHz LPF – as I remember it even made a nice little “tink” sound when you passed 1700 as the relay clicked. FDM-S2 is at 54MHz – not much help for MW/SW over

Jack, is that a single channel trap, High Pass, Low Pass or band block filter? If single channel can you share the math for building for a particular frequency? Bill

Do you have a very strong local AM broadcaster – one that pushes the S-meter to the far right? If so your best bet might be a single channel AM trap. If not you might have a strong signal outside the

I agree, if he wants to listen to 133.55 MHz a decent FM filter should relieve the front end just enough to work well. As to my use of the word “destroy” that was a bit overkill – the SDR was able to

I’ve been amazed at how good the ELAD is under strong RF conditions on the FM band but if you are 0.7 miles from a 100kw FM station I don’t think there is much you will be able to do at all. I was 500

If I read this correctly 135-160MHz has a bandpass filter. Below 135MHz (ACARS is 133.55) I’d assume as you’ve suggested there is no preselector and that could open it up to FM broadcast overload. I s

Why do you set the pre-selector to bypass? I live 4 miles from one set of Hartford, CT FM transmitters and 9 miles from another using a very high gain 13 element FM yagi outside at 25’. No overload he

“Out of range”, as I understand it, means not within the published specs for the SDR when tuning “in range”. It does however work. See the screen shot below. Lots of signals using an 88-108 FM antenna

James, the S2 goes to at least 160MHz with decent sensitivity. It looks like ACARS is typically on 131.55MHz. This tutorial discusses some software you can use - http://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-radio-s

No.

Just delete the folder (or rename it) and restart SW2. No reinstall needed although all settings will go back to default.

Did you delete/rename the ELAD folder in your user directory, such as: C:\Users\billn\Documents\ELAD Bill

Will the i5 record or just live listening? I only use i7 when recording at 6MHz. I like the Lenovo W540 which has swappable batteries for extra mobile recording time and you can swap the DVD out for a

Maybe under SETtings / Graphics you could tweak the blurriness. Bill

Did you try the IF button in the upper right corner? Once in there set “Before Demod Filter” and Zoom in with the magnifying glass (in the top right corner). You might need to adjust the color bad/sli

What does profile allow you to switch between? Does it save anything you might set differently, for example profile1 for MW and 1.5MHz bandwidth and profile2 for FM BC and 6MHz bandwidth? That might p
