SDRplay and SDRplay RSP (RSP – Radio Spectrum Processor SDR Receiver).
The SDRplay RSP is a powerful wideband full-featured Software Defined Receiver which covers all frequencies from 100kHz up to 2 GHz.
All it needs is a PC (Supported Platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac, Raspberry Pi 2 & Android) along with an appropriate antenna to provide excellent communications receiver functionality. Combined that with the power of readily available SDR receiver software and you are on your way to enjoy all modes of operation while monitoring up to 8MHz of spectrum at a time.
What’s really exciting is that SDRplay offers an open API, allowing developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform.
Amateur Radio Operators will enjoy all modes of operation for the Ham Bands ranging from experimental LF, through all the HF bands, VHF, UHF and up to the 23cm band.
With the SRDplay RSP general coverage receiver, you can enjoy exploring the rest of the RF spectrum as well!
