We appreciate the patience of customers awaiting new stocks of our RSPs. Due to the worldwide shortage of electronic components, there have been significant problems with component availability. This has caused production delays at both the UK-based manufacturing partners used by SDRplay in Hartlepool and Peterborough. In some cases, we have even tweaked the physical radio design to be able to accommodate alternative components with better availability. It’s a frustrating time for the resellers as well, as they run out of stocks. We hope to start restocking by early March but the ongoing shortages are likely to continue for some time beyond that.
Meanwhile software development is continuing apace. SDRuno Version 1.42 is progressing well and this upgrade will provide many requested additions to the Memory Panel and Scanning functions as well as custom controls for creating your own (user defined) band framing. Full details can be found at: https://www.sdrplay.com/sdruno-roadmap/
Work continues on the ongoing software project to migrate SDRuno to MAC and Linux platforms, and day-to-day support for the SDRplay user community continues to be a priority.
There is now a revamped HELP page on the SDRplay website which should allow people to get the right kind of help more easily.
For those of you who accidentally damage your RSP, then it may be possible to repair your device. We are pleased to announce that we now have a second repair centre in the USA – CLH Services, RF Division, based in Florida – Contact Chris at website: https://clhservicesrf.wix.com/my-site
