SDRconnect news – Rig Control progress and multilingual user guide

Many thanks to everyone who dropped by to see SDRplay and our Steve, KI5ENW at Hamvention last weekend.  They were able to see a preview demo of something so many people are waiting for – yes, Rig Control!  We still have quite a lot to do before it gets released, but we were able to show the basics working both locally and remotely. There should be a higher quality video coming out soon, but for now, here’s some footage taken by Julian from HRO:

(The SDRplay demo starts at 36 minutes 20 seconds into the video of Julian’s walkaround)

Meanwhile Mike KD2KOG has created an SDRconnect “Quick Start” guide which is available in multiple languages – simply click on the word “TRANSLATE” in the bottom left hand corner of the screen: https://www.sdrplay.com/quickstart/

See the latest SDRplay hardware and software in action at Hamvention 2025

Steve KI5ENW will be demonstrating the latest SDRplay hardware and software at Hamvention, Dayton, Ohio this weekend (May 16-18 2025).  He will be on the Ham Radio Outlet booth in Building 3. If you’re there – come and say hi. If you’re not there, tell your friends to drop by and say hi from you! It’s a great opportunity for SDRplay to get face-to-face feedback from customers, old and new. HRO usually have some great offers for anyone attending the show.

Steve will also be showing a sneak preview of the upcoming rig-control being added to SDRconnect, as well as the versatility of the new networked nRSP-ST.

Good HF reception on the nRSP-ST Networked receiver Sunday evening UK

On Sunday evening, before dark, signals were being picked up nicely here in UK  -with stations from Lebanon, North and South America.  This was our live stream where we demonstrated the use of admin control for timeouts and how multiple users can share the receiver simultaneously albeit with restrictions to the same part of the spectrum as the “controller”:

 

Practical Wireless review of the SDRplay nRSP-ST

The April 2025 edition of Practical Wireless has a review of the nRSP-ST:

The article is descriptively headlined “The Sharing Machine”

In the review on pages 16-19,  Georg Wiessala puts the nRSP-ST through its paces and comments “The new nRSP-ST is a gamechanger, a milestone… it makes a substantial addition to the funtionality of your shack, if you wish to make use of the networking facilities and the built-in web server… in the context of the radio hobby, this is indeed groundbreaking and a big leap forward”

A new SDR T/R switch from SDRSwitch.com

At last there is a replacement for the popular MFJ1708B-SDR T/R switch which protects your SDR from damage from your transmitting signal. It’s the new SDR switch from N2EME ( SDRSwitch.com )

These are now available from Martin Lynch and Sons and in this new ML&S video, David, M0TPT shows it in action with an SDRplay RSPduo – 1 minute 25 seconds in:

David doesn’t show how to set up rig control, but this video demonstrates how to do it using SDRuno with the obsolete MFJ1708B-SDR.   (Please note we are working on rig control for SDRconnect which will be released soon).

 

Spectrum Monitor reviews the nRSP-ST

The March 2025 edition of Spectrum Monitor Magazine  is out and Georg Wiessala has written this in-depth review of the nRSP-ST (see pages 32-26)

In it, Georg writes “In my view, this receiver beats any homebrew, web-based or Raspberry Pi related construction solution hands-down – in terms of the signal range it covers, its ease of use, shielding and construction, openness to experimentation and radio education, and the expected future developments. You will need a rudimentary understanding of PCs, the internet, routers and networks, but will not need a PhD in Computer Science to operate this radio. Highly recommended. “
