The Grundig G2 Reporter is now shipping from Universal Radio. The price is $149.95.
It’s worth noting that Universal has a lot of images of the radio, including photos of the box and contents.
I’ll post reviews of the G2 in the SW Radio Index as they become available. Have a G2 already? Please share your impressions.
The ELAD FDM-S1 Software Defined Receiver
I just received an update from WoodBoxRadio stating that the new ELAD FDM-S1 software defined radio will begin shipping Monday, March 26, 2012 to those who have pre-ordered the unit.
WoodBoxRadio also noted that the FDM-S1 is still available at a “special” price of 399 Euro. This pricing is only valid until March 31, 2012, at which time, I assume, the price will increase.
If you have purchased the ELAD FDM-S1, we would love your thoughts on this receiver. Please comment!
One of the major complaints I hear regarding the benchmark Microtelecom Perseus SDR is that its GUI (graphic user interface) is not resizable or scalable to fit a large monitor at full-screen.
If you’re a Perseus owner and if this is a problem for you, then you need to watch for the release of Studio 1 Software Defined Radio by SDR Applications. Which will boast:
WoodBoxRadio told me that SDR Applications is still finishing off development, but plan to have a bug-free version of their software available at the end of March 2012. They told me that Studio 1 will work with the Microtelecom Perseus, FDM-S1 and the Softrock family of software defined radios (SDRs).
We will stay in touch with WoodBoxRadio and post any updates here on the SWLing Post.
