SDRplay SDRconnect demo at Friedrichshafen 2022

This video shows the demo we showed at Ham Radio 2022, in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
This demonstrates the core underlying technology behind what we’re calling “SDRconnect”
“SDRconnect” is the new name for the multiplatform version of SDRuno (up till now we called it SDRuno V2)
The latest info on the imminent release can be found on our blogs and the SDRconnect info page link included: www.sdrplay.com/blog/
We demonstrated the completely rewritten Core DSP engine for Spectrum and Waterfall displays - with the prototype software running on a Raspberry Pi computer. We also show the networking capability by remotely accessing an RSP based in the UK.
This is still an early stage demo, and the software team have a lot to do to complete the graphical user interface.
Work is underway on the new graphical user interface which:
• Retains the style and popular features of SDRuno
• Offers a more consistent and intuitive layout
• Addresses fixes and improvements suggested by users ever since SDRuno was first adopted.
SDRplay plans to release the first version of SDRconnect before the end of 2022 - it will support the RSP1A, the RSPdx and the RSPduo as well as the older obsolete RSP2 and RSP2pro.
The original RSP1 (phased out in 2017) will cannot be supported by SDRconnect (but SDRuno V1.42 will continue to be available for RSP1 users).
The new graphical user interface will bring a lot of advantages based on what users have been asking for - like more consistency in the way panels and menus are organised making it more intuitive and easy to use, and the ability to lock panels together.

This is one of many videos from SDRplay - makers of the RSP family of SDR radios. See the full list of SDRplay videos and applications documents on: www.sdrplay.com/apps-catalogue/
The RSP family of SDRs from SDRplay cover 1kHz to 2 GHz with no gaps and give up to 10MHz spectrum visibility.
SDRplay is a UK company. The RSP SDR receivers are made in the UK and can be purchased for worldwide delivery directly from www.sdrplay.com/ (click on purchase and select your country to view shipping costs) or you can buy from any of our worldwide resellers listed here: www.sdrplay.com/distributors/ Many of the resellers offer local free shipping and/or local language technical support.

This is fantastic news! Keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully we all will see this new piece of great software and technology soon. Happy Holidays and all the best in the New Year!!!

[@SDRplayRSP]

working hard to get something soon: www.sdrplay.com/sdrplay-sdrconnect-software-status-update/

[@kmkessler]

Linux Support and Remote Access; can't wait. My only suggestion would be go get rid of the multiple windows thing, and make the app one window, like the vast majority of programs. It's more of a pain in the rear than it is useful.

[@fotografm]

I love my RSPDX - (both of them) and can't wait for this software to be released !!!

[@SDRplayRSP]

sorry it's taking so long but we will get there: www.sdrplay.com/more-sdrconnect-preview-demos/

@@SDRplayRSP Thank you for your prompt answer. I trust you and know that "quality takes a little longer". Congratulations on your amazing lineup of products. I recommend them to other people wherever I can. 73 de G4EYR/DL1EYR former member of Shefford radio club.

Having remote access has me very interested ! Having the RSPdx now for almost a couple years I'm still impressed by its performance.

[@mm7bvp]

I cannot wait for this sdr connect software. I've just bought another duo. Really really can't wait to see the server capabilities as Mike discussed a whole ago.. Great work guys Rab

[@SDRplayRSP]

so sorry about the delay... we will get there: www.sdrplay.com/sometimes-you-have-to-take-a-step-back-to-go-forwards/

[@rayjones3722]

Brilliant! Really looking forward to it. Already using virtualhere accross my lan, so can dispense with that.

[@phoneticau]

Fantastic effort SDRPlay

[@dennislynch1326]

Hooray hooray.,. No more wine palarva.......excellent......excellent.

[@DonzLockz]

This is awesome news and a game changer. Great work, I now have one on my wish list. I should have one by the time you release the new software.👍🍻🤓

[@SouthernIllinoisShortwave]

I'm interested to see the New GUI and everything that is new and changed as well. I can't wait to test it on my RSPdx.

[@phoneticau]

Does the DSP engine reside at the RSP end ie Raspberry Pi and Only the GUI audio is sent to the user interface client device, so l wont need 50Mbit connection between the 2 ?

[@sammiller6631]

Does the Core DSP engine make use of multiple CPU cores?

[@ch716]

Is there any update on SDRConnect? It looks like a wonderful improvement and I can't wait to try it on my Mac. Thanks for you efforts.

[@SDRplayRSP]

Alas we have suffered delays but hope to get there soon - see www.sdrplay.com/sometimes-you-have-to-take-a-step-back-to-go-forwards/

[@ch716]

@@SDRplayRSP Oh, I must have missed the update on your website. I'll keep an eye over there. Thanks!

[@fotoralf]

One simple question: When?

[@G4ABQ]

By year end 2022

[@uli_6830]

I still use the RSP1, among others. It is now invalidated. Thank you!

[@G4ABQ]

No. Version 1.42 SDRuno will work fine and will continue to be supported

You can use the libmirisdr driver -- open-source, none of that unstable proprietary insecure SDRplay API crap.

[@NamasenITN]

I missed the model and RAM memory of the Pi you used. Was it Pi4 with 8GB RAM?

[@G4ABQ]

Yes it was

[@dirkboon3296]

not a fan of anything using the internet or cloud when using my SDR.. any online 'bridge' = someone can inevitably track what you are listening to

[@cURLybOi]

network security enthusiast here - for someone to be able to track what you are listening with your DSP, it would have to be such a precisely targetted attack, that it would be easier at that point to just stand under your window and listen :)

[@MoonVision_1]

@@cURLybOi not true, Dirk is correct

[@cURLybOi]

@@MoonVision_1 can you elaborate in any way whatsoever? :D

[@master1900mc]

you can also have the device installed somewhere in your house, and being able to access it from another room in a LAN. That would be a useful usecase that doesn't limit your safety in any way

[@ppi57]

MacOS, yes!... I'll Beta test for you.

[@dan_from_australia]

looks like I might have to upgrade my RSP1

[@h2osmokey]

Android?

[@Mark.R_]

Says so in the Key Features. May only be the Client, with PC acting as the Server. It is hard to see a Android device having the processing power.
