RSPduo Dual Tuner 14-bit SDR

The SDRplay RSPduo is a dual-tuner wideband full featured 14-bit SDR which covers the entire RF spectrum from 1 kHz to 2 GHz giving 10 MHz of spectrum visibility. Combined with the power of SDRuno software for Windows, you can simultaneously monitor two completely separate 2 MHz bands of spectrum anywhere between 1 kHz and 2 GHz. The RSPduo provides three software selectable antenna inputs, and clocking features ideally suited to industrial, scientific and educational applications. All it needs is a PC and an antenna to provide excellent communications receiver functionality. A documented API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform.

KEY BENEFITS

Simultaneously receive on two totally independent 2MHz spectrum windows anywhere between 1 kHz and 2 GHz
Simultaneous processing from 2 antennas enables direction-finding, diversity and noise reduction applications
Ideal for cross band full-duplex reception, e.g. HF + VHF or VHF + UHF
Simultaneous Dump1090 and VHF ATC reception
Simultaneous monitoring and recording of 2 ISM bands
Covers all frequencies from 1 kHz through VLF, LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2 GHz, with no gaps
Receive, monitor and record up to 10MHz of spectrum at a time (single tuner mode)
External clock input and output for synchronisation purposes, or connection to GPS reference clock
Excellent dynamic range for challenging reception conditions
Works with popular EXTIO-based SDR software (available mid 2018)
Software upgradeable for future standards
Strong and growing software support network
API provided to allow demodulator or application development
Calibrated S meter/ RF power and SNR measurement with SDRuno (including datalogging to .CSV file capability)
Ideal for portable monitoring of ISM/ IoT/ Telemetry bands <2GHz
