It's 5 years ago today we sold the very first blue and white RSP to someone in Sweden - many thanks to all our customers over the 5 years

an RSP wherever you have an internet connection & a windows/MacOS/Linux device. The audio mode lets you see up to 10MHz spectrum and tune into AM/FM/CW/SSB just like a general coverage RX:
#SDRplay
has today released a new downloadable Raspberry Pi SD card image which adds support for the

and simultaneous use of both the tuners in the RSPduo. See:

We’ve pushed out an updated Preview 2 release of SDRconnect to address a small number of defects identified by our customers. Thanks to everyone who tested and reported.

Many thanks to everyone who dropped by to the SDRplay/Ham Radio Outlet booth today, and to those who came to Steve's talk - the slides can be downloaded from:
In this interview, we show an RSP1A added to a "pi-top" making a self contained SDR receiver on a Raspberry Pi - all in 1 box, enabling spectrum exploration & new architectures with GNU radio. This project was done in a collaboration between SDRplay &

NooElec has developed a new LNA that can be powered directly from the RSP Bias-T & includes the necessary filtering for GOES reception.
This makes for a very low cost GOES satellite image reception solution when combined with an RSP

The lab tool you didn’t know you had! This new video from Paul W1VLF, reminded me that many people may not realise that their RSP can also be used as a really good spectrum analyser:

We are pleased to announce the release of v1.31 of SDRuno. This release contains a number of bug fixes, functional enhancements and other changes. Please see for the full details of the release.
Seasons greetings to all our customers.

s/w, there's finally an easy-to-use out-of-the-box way to explore the radio spectrum, even for Mac or Linux/RPi users. An RSP is the perfect gift! Check out Tech Minds' independent review and demo:
People often ask us about the accuracy of the
#SDRplay
S-meter in SDRuno - it is correctly calibrated to IARU standards and maintains accuracy across the full range for RSP1, RSP1A, RSP2 and RSP2pro. This is an unusual and valuable feature vs many other receivers.
The RSPduo has arrived - a dual tuner 14-bit SDR receiver: Independent processing of 2 slices of 2MHz spectrum, each from any part of the radio spectrum(1kHz to 2GHz)
We have released SDRuno 1.41: – Release notes: - We have also updated the roadmap. We have changed the order in which we are doing things to bring forward the release of 2.0 – you can see the roadmap here:
People often ask us about the accuracy of S-meters and SDRs. In the case of SDRuno - it is correctly calibrated to IARU standards and maintains accuracy across the full range for RSP1, RSP1A, RSP2 and RSP2pro. This is an unusual and valuable feature vs many other receivers.
SDRuno 1.40.1 has been released. This is to fix a couple of issues with the 1.4 release, but also introduces some new features and more plugin functionality. Release notes can be seen here: and the software can be downloaded here:
Only one week to go till Hamvention. The SDRplay team will be showing an early development version of SDRuno which provides enhanced receiver performance by combining the signals from two antennas tuned to the same frequency. We're on the
@HamRadioOutlet
booth
@hamvention
With the holiday season near, an SDRplay SDR makes a perfect gift for lapsed ham friends or that Raspberry-Pi loving youngster who might enjoy the radio hobby! We now have SDRconnect s/w for MacOS and Linux - SDRplay is not just for Windows ;-)
Antenna specialists,
#Bonito
have completed a thorough review of the
#RSPduo
in operation with their larger antennas, the MegaLoop FX and the MegaDipol MD300DX
We are pleased to announce the release of v1.32 of SDRuno. The purpose of this release is primarily to add MRC Diversity functionality for the RSPduo, but it also contains other fixes and additions based on customer feedback -
We have released v1.41.1 of SDRuno – this has been primarily to apply bug fixes for v1.41. As part of these bug fixes, it has also been necessary to update the API to v3.09. Release notes are here: SDRuno download here:
SDRuno 1.4 has now been fully released. It can be downloaded from here:

A blog on the release will appear in the coming days
Happy New Year to everyone including

A 4 hour daytime SNR comparison on 20m band between a Cobweb at 13m AGL and a Wellgood loop v4 at 8m AGL. Receiver is SDRPlay RSPduo.
Cobweb: 10.9 dB
Wellgood loop: 9.9 dB
Up next, nighttime comparison -without- manmade noise from nearby solar panel installations.

for MacOS, Linux and Windows, you can now either use a computer keyboard for frequency selection or you can use the software keypad (ideal for tablets). Here's how:
Updated RSP TCP server: the “RTL-compatible” mode now includes RSP-specific filters/switches etc. + an “Extended” mode to allow such controls to be changed on the fly by s/w developers. This updated version can be found on SDRplay’s GitHub repository:
Happy Christmas to all the SDRplay customers old and new - we will be providing technical support this week - especially to help lucky recipients of an RSP tomorrow! More details here:
The History Channel series "Skinwalker Ranch" features SDRplay at the heart of their control room! Who said playing radio wasn't cool?!

receivers so popular. Best wishes for 2018
We are set up ready to premiere an early demo of our SDRuno diversity software at

today on the
@HamRadioOutlet
booth. You can read more about what it will do for your RSPduo in our latest blog:
See how well the SDRuno wideband noise blanker can pull signals lost way down in the interference : The combination of an RSP with SDRuno is enabling people who thought they'd give up on short wave listening to rediscover the hobby :-)
