Latest on the nRSP-ST networked receiver

We have sold all of the first production run of the nRSP-ST networked receiver – our channel partners and resellers took all that we made first time round – so much so, that we were unable to sell any units directly from our website. (latest news – February 16th update  We aim to ship to most resellers so that they have stock on their shelves by February 24th.

It’s important to contact your preferred reseller to let them know of your interest so that they don’t sell out from this new batch of units.

More about the nRSP-ST

The nRSP-ST is your own personal remotely accessible SDR which can also be shared with a small number of trusted friends or colleagues.

The nRSP-ST 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 are also introducing the ability to control and store IQ recordings at the remote location.  The nRSP-ST is 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.

Why not try accessing an nRSP-ST today (up to 8 simultaneous users, first come first served, 15 minute timeout) by going to: https://www.sdrplay.com/try-accessing-an-nrsp-st-networked-receiver-today/

SDRplay will be at Hamcation, Florida February 7-9 2025

February 12th update: The presentation slides can be downloaded from here: https://www.sdrplay.com/docs/Hamcation2025slides.pdf

Steve, KI5ENW will be demonstrating the new nRSP-ST networked SDR receiver, and the latest software at this year’s Hamcation in Florida, February 7th-9th.

Come and find out more about all the SDRplay products and software – Steve will be on the Ham Radio Outlet stand answering questions and greeting customers old and new. He will also be giving a talk Saturday morning at 9.15am in room CS2:

Steve’s talk covers the basics of SDRs and how they have evolved from simple dongles. Some non-traditional radio applications made possible by the advent of affordable, high-performance SDRs (including adding panadapter capabilities to an existing rig) are discussed. He will show how an SDR radio can be broadly split into halves, the hardware to receive the signals and the software to process them. The software is a true differentiator and continues to evolve to extract maximum performance and new capabilities from the hardware. Without delving into the technical side too deeply this review has proven popular with both new and experienced users contemplating the jump into the rapidly growing field of SDRs, or wanting to make the most of the capabilities they offer.  So if you have friends unsure about SDRs at Hamcation this year – make sure they catch this talk 🙂

nRSP-ST update introduces more finger controls for mobile devices

It’s nearly three weeks since we launched the nRSP-ST networked receiver.  Since then users have provided valuable feedback and uncovered some defects which we have been able to fix with the latest firmware and software updates. SDRconnect 1.0.3 has been released.  nRSP-ST users should go to the https://www.sdrplay.com/nrspstart page and make sure to update your firmware to the latest (currently 1.0.6) during the SDRconnect installation process. A list of what’s been added/changed  can be found in the release notes:  https://www.sdrplay.com/docs/SDRconnect_Release_Notes.pdf

A particularly cool feature is the new touchscreen control for handheld devices using the web browser:

By clicking on the hand symbol, additional arrow controls are provided for zooming in and out of the spectrum display. There are also new tuning control arrows. By adjusting the step size this feature can be adapted for optimal use depending on the frequencies and signals of interest.  On extra small screen like phones, once you have the settings you need, you can minimise the control window and just have the spectrum display and waterfall as shown int he picture above.

More about the nRSP-ST:

See the nRSP-ST in action at the Dortmund Amateur Radio Market

The 52nd Dortmund Amateur Radio Market will take place on Saturday December 7, 2024 at the Dortmund Messe, in the Westfalenhalle 8, in Germany.  

Bonito, Funk24, Funtechnik-Dathe and Van Dijken elektronica will all be there with the brand new nRSP-ST all-in-one networked SDR radio.  Check out their demos.

It’s also a great opportunity to get a gift for anyone you want to get interested in Ham Radio or the radio listening hobby. The RSP1B is a perfect gift for anyone with a computer – SDRconnect runs on Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and MacOS.    

 

The nRSP-ST networked radio goes on sale today

The new nRSP-ST networked radio from SDRplay goes on sale today at authorised resllers worldwide.  A list of authorised resellers can be found here: https://www.sdrplay.com/distributors

Work has been completed on the updates needed for SDRconnect software to support the new features offered by the nRSP-ST.  The new version of SDRconnect is now available to download from a special nRSP start page: https://www.sdrplay.com/nrspstart

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.

The nRSP-ST key features:

  • A truly “plug and play” integrated, networked general coverage receiver:
    • Combines a receiver, a host computer and a whole lot more – all in one box!
    • Apply power and connect to the internet (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and the nRSP-ST is easily accessible from anywhere
    • Designed for long term continuous usage (no noisy or unreliable cooling fan)
  • The 14-bit ADC full featured wideband SDR receiver covers all frequencies from 1kHz through VLF, LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2GHz, with no gaps
  • Remotely monitor up to 10MHz of spectrum at a time from a choice of 3 antennas
  • Multi-platform SDRconnectTM software supports local operation or remote access on Windows, MacOS or Linux platforms
  • The nRSP-ST & SDRconnectTM are configurable for available network bandwidth:
    • In “Full IQ” mode, the nRSP-ST provides IQ data transfer of the visible spectrum bandwidth (e.g. for high-speed LAN or superfast internet connectivity)
    • In “IQ Lite” mode, the nRSP-ST provides IQ data of channels up to 192kHz wide (e.g. for digital decoding by the client)
    • In “Compact” mode the nRSP-ST provides compressed audio and visual display (ideal for slower internet connections)
    • Supports multiple client connections with a simultaneous mixture of connection modes
    • All modes support visualization of up to 10MHz spectrum bandwidth
  • Two remote connection options:
    • Use a remote SDRconnect client or
    • Use the built-in web-server for remote access from most up-to-date browsing capable devices, including Android/iOS tablets and phones
  • The nRSP-ST will offer the ability to record IQ and audio files to a NAS (network attached storage) device if available on the LAN.
  • Flash upgradable for future feature enhancements
