This weekend, the whole SDRplay team has been on the road – in the UK it was for the UK National Hamfest in Newark (UK). In the US it was for HRO’s “Superfest”
We met with many customers – old and new. It was such a friendly atmosphere at both locations. Many thanks to all who dropped by – either to buy an RSP or to give valuable feedback on the preview version of SDRuno which we demonstrated.
It was great to have Mike over in the UK – Mike is responsible for our Video Guides on our YouTube Channel. He coped well with the jet lag having only touched down at Heathrow, midday Thursday. He was in full swing Friday morning and ready for an ICQ podcast interview by lunchtime!
Steve’s talks at Ham Radio Outlet’s Milwaukee Superfest were well attended – you can download the slides from the “Video guides and Media” section on our Downloads page.
Apologies if our support turn-round time is slow for the next 2 or 3 days – with everybody travelling over the weekend and early this coming week, it will take a while to catch up!

At the UK Hamfest this coming Friday and Saturday, come and see the new version of SDRuno in development, including a number of usability improvements and new features such as a save power and SNR values to CSV file. We’ll be on stand 10 demonstrating RSPs – a chance to meet Jon (G4ABQ), Andy (software), Ian (hardware) and Mike from New York – famous for his “video guides”
The SDRplay team are preparing to come to Newark again this year. As well as our UK-based hardware and software experts, we’ll also have Mike, author of so many of our video guides, visiting us from the USA. It’s a great opportunity to find our more about SDR receivers and the RSPs/ SDRuno in particular. We look forward to meeting many of the folks who bought an RSP last year to see how they’re getting on, and to introducing lots of new folks to the technology.

Mike has just released a video showing you how to hook up a USB ‘wheel’ to SDRuno to give the look and feel of a traditional tuning knob:
We have just released a new video guide showing how to use the popular SDR-Console V3 with the RSP1 and RSP2:
You don’t need to own an RSP from SDRplay to use SDRuno. Those people who already have an RTL-SDR dongle, can use our SDRuno software for free. So can owners of many other SDRs which support an EXT/IO interface. We’ve just released a new video guide to using the “SDRuno EXT/IO edition”:

The latest QST magazine (October 2017) includes a detailed independent review of the performance of the RSP2pro. It tabulates extensive measurements from their dynamic testing and they summarize these impressive results saying that the RSP2pro has “A Lot of Capability in a Small Package”. QST magazine is available to all ARRL members. We hope to be able to reproduce their article here in the near future. Meanwhile, to find out more about QST magazine go to http://www.arrl.org/this-month-in-qst
Andrew Back, Director of the Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation has written a new review of the RSP2 for RS Components’ Design Spark Community Website. Andrew writes “The RSP2 (124-9619) from SDRplay bridges the gap between the popular RTL-SDR re-purposed TV tuner dongle that offers the very lowest cost SDR solution, and high-end platforms…”
