If you’re unsure which RSP is right for you then watch the video below.
The RSP1B is very similar to the RSP1A but comes in a metal case. The RSP1B is a more environmentally friendly option than the RSP1A. The RSP1A is still the best low-cost choice for anyone wanting a well-supported general coverage receiver which in most circumstances performs as well as a more conventional communications radio. Yes, there are performance advantages in the RSP1B (the noticeable improvements over the RSP1A with its improved noise performance below 1MHz and in the 3.5-5.5MHz, 50-60 MHz and 250-320MHz ranges) – and these may be important to some people but not everyone.
The low cost RSP1A will continue as the lowest cost option while we still have stock of the plastic cases.
The RSPdx has the advantage of three software selectable antenna ports and a special “HDR” mode for better dynamic range below 2MHz.
The RSPdx-R2 is a redesign of the RSPdx to address component supply issues and has resulted in additional performance enhancements below 2MHz (e.g. the noise level below 1MHz)
The lower cost RSPdx is still a good choice if your main interest is in frequencies of 2MHz and above, as long as component supplies allow.
The RSPduo remains unique with its Dual Tuner and Diversity Tuning capability.
Whichever RSP you choose you will be supported by an enthusiastic technical team ready to help, especially if you are a newcomer to SDRs.
