\"Elad-Summer-Sale\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While browsing the Elad website, I noticed an End of Summer<\/em>\u00a0sale on their US retail page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sale includes one of my favorite sub-$1000 SDRs–the Elad FDM-S2<\/a><\/strong>–priced at $499 US (originally $580). If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing the FDM-S2, this might be a good time to bite the bullet. Certainly a great value, in my book.\u00a0Click here to read my review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note that the Elad FDM-DUO<\/a>\u00a0stand-alone SDR transceiver and FDM-S1<\/a>\u00a0receiver are also on sale.<\/p>\n

I don’t see an indication of when the sale ends, but I\u00a0assume it may last until the end of summer. If interested, you might\u00a0contact the Elad sales department to confirm<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
