SDRplay will be at HamCation, Orlando, Florida on Friday February 9th to Sunday February 11th.

Come and see Steve, KI5ENW demonstrating what’s new from SDRplay, including the latest features in our multiplatform SDRconnect and server software,  and the new RSP1B. Maybe you have friends visiting the show who can pick up a new RSP for you at special show rates?  Otherwise it’s a great place to come and learn more about SDRs.  Steve will also be giving a presentation on Saturday 10th in Room CS2 at 9.15am – covering the basics of SDRs and how they have evolved from simple dongles. More details can be found  here

On Thursday 8th February, for anyone in town early, HRO will be having a special open day at their store in Orlando.  They promise to offer some good deals. Steve from SDRplay will be there as well, answering questions and running SDRplay demonstrations. The address is 521 E State Rd 434 #1009, Winter Springs, FL 32708, USA.

For those interested in receiving Trunked Radio, we have some good news.   Sdrtrunk is now working well with the latest SDRplay API 3.14 and the RSP1B. Author Denny has  included it in his nightly build (you can get a copy from here), with a full release coming by mid February.     Here’s a screenshot showing it running on an M1 Mac:
