Does anyone know if the RSP2 has any form of low-power or stand-by mode when it is not actively being used by an application? If so, which components are "shutdown"?

Use the Start/Stop button on the SP Main screen.
You will notice the CPU utilization go down as displayed by Sys value on the same screen.
Good luck

I'm more interested in if it is allowed to cool down or something. My RSP2Pro was sitting with USB power available overnight but the PC shut down. When I fired it up to check out the signal reception at 1090, prior to starting dump1090, the signals appeared to be coming in somewhat below the expected location. Over a couple of minutes, they appeared to stabilize at the correct frequency, as if the RSP2Pro was warming up... Hence the question...
