This is one of many video guides 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.

Steve, your great company has brought the SWL hobby to a new level of technological excellence. Hats off to you and your company staff. I am going to upgrade to the RSP1B or better. Your SRDUno has become a new standard at a competitive cost. Cheers from across the left side of the pond.

I bought an RSP1A recently to dip my toes into SDR. Not disappointed. SDRconnect works nicely but still lacks some plugins for decoding e.g. ADSB ... In development, I understand.

I think I will pick one of these up, miss listening to the bands

[@mariaviklund4546]

I wonder what's behind the apparent fallout between the SDRPlay people and the AirSpy folks. They used to support each others receivers in their respective software but apparently something happend along the way.

Great video Steve. As a matter of interest, which mag loop were you using? Is the baby Jane still getting a look in or have you moved on?

[@SDRplayRSP]

Probably a mic of Baby Jane and MFJ loop. The MFJ has an advantage being outside in a better location, but Baby Jane does an awesome job on my window sill!

Hi, Have you ever thought about including built in wifi + battery/DC power into the SDRplay to enable portable/mobile use with iPadOS along with a version of SDR connect? Can the current SDRplay be used with android tablets?

[@paranoidzkitszo]

I am curious, since a topic such as direction finding can be a hot one when it comes to radio- the last Raspberry discussed seems a perfect candidate- thinking such application as TDOA....where sinal between the 2 receiving antenas could be viewed overlayed and having a max hold view of the frequencies. This would strongly compel me in purchasing 1 if not 2 where some thing like incorporating a clock and synching the devices....but, on brief search, nothing? Maybe the device isn't suited in some way to no be able to function as direction finder? The specs- the ultimate 1 being: the device having the 2 separate antenna inputs- sounds like just the right thing to do job...maybe I am missing something here.....again, i ran some basic searches and no such use...?

[@SDRplayRSP]

Direction finding is not something we have developed. Something may be possible with the RSPduo. If you want to time and phase synchronise multiple RSPduo devices you will need to provide a) an external clock and b) a training sequence - there is a paper written by a student at Sheffield University in the UK who synchronised multiple RSP2 devices - www.sdrplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Time-and-phase-synchronization-with-two-RSP2s.pdf

HI Steve, I bought the RSP2pro in the early days. Just wonder what is the RSP2pro is equivalent to compared to the current models?

[@SDRplayRSP]

The RSP2 pro suffered from intermod problems which were much improved in the RSPdx. The RSP2pro doesn't have HDR mode for below 2MHz but it actually had quite a good noise spec at LF. It doesn't have some of the HF improvements which the RSPdx has. Apart from that, overall the RSP2pro is still a pretty good receiver.

[@ManuelPinner]

2.5 GHz would have been a good range at the higher limits that's where we can get 2.4 GHz DATV,

[@TVSNOWOWL]

Wow it not Support RTL V3 and V4

[@SDRplayRSP]

why would an overview of SDRplay's RSP products cover RTL dongles?
