Overview  

ELAD QSF-06  is a switchable preselector that  allows  the  selection between 6 configurable filters.  User 
can  configure  the  internal  board  by  choosing  the  right  set  of  filters  within  the  filter  module  family 
provided by ELAD or self-build. The QSF-06 board has also an on board active switch which ensure fast 
commutation  time  between  transmission  and  reception  state  and  a  band  select  output  to  drive  an 
external amplifier. Using the ELAD FDM-SW2 SDR software it is possible to configure the FDM-DUO to 
automatically select the proper filter as a function of the tuning frequency. 
 

The block diagram here below represents the QSF-06 board.
