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.
