Steve, KI5ENW from SDRplay will be running demos and answering questions on the Ham Radio Outlet booth at Pacificon this weekend.
It’s a great opportunity to find out more about SDRplay’s latest products including the RSP1B and RSPdx-R2. People can also see the latest version of SDRconnect in action and find out more about the newly announced nRSP-ST networked radio due to launch later this year.
Ham Radio Outlet are likely to be offering special prices. We at SDRplay really appreciate theses shows as a great opportunity to get customer feedback – it’s what helps shape our support and development priorities.
Many thanks to all the visitors to our stand at the UK Hamfest in Newark at the weekend. It was a great opportunity to preview our new nRSP-ST networked radio which is due to launch before Christmas.
More information will be added here as we get closer to the launch date.
Our thanks to Matt at Tech Minds for this introductory video based on the limited inofrmation available right now:
SDRplay is demonstrating a new product at the UK Hamfest today in newark, UK. It’s an all-in-one, plug-and-play networked receiver which will launch later in the year.
SDRplay Limited is announcing the imminent launch of the “nRSP-ST”, an All-in-one, Plug-and-play Networked SDR Receiver. The “nRSP-ST” is being demonstrated publicly for the first time at the UK National Hamfest in Newark today.
This exciting new product addresses the needs of radio enthusiasts who want a ‘plug-and-play’ solution for remote reception. As well as achieving this, we have addressed typical internet bandwidth limitations with the creation of a novel “IQ Lite” mode, which efficiently delivers channels of IQ data. We have also introduced the ability to control and store IQ recordings at the remote location. We think the nRSP-ST will be ideal for anyone wanting a wideband remote receiver without needing computer skills and hours of set-up time and ongoing maintenance at the remote location. We are very much looking forward to making the product available as soon as possible. We are aiming to launch the nRSP-ST in time for the holiday shopping season and aiming at a price of just under $500 USD before tax.
The nRSP-ST key features:

More information will be provided in the coming weeks: https://www.sdrplay.com/nrspst/
