The SDRplay RSPdx-R2 is an enhanced version of the popular RSPdx and is a wideband full-featured 14-bit SDR which covers the entire RF spectrum from 1kHz to 2GHz. Combined with the power of readily available SDR receiver software (including ‘SDRuno’ for Windows and Multi-Platform ‘SDRconnect’ supplied by SDRplay) you can monitor up to 10MHz spectrum at a time.
Key Benefits & Features:
Covers all frequencies from 1kHz through VLF, LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2GHz, with no gaps
Receive, monitor and record up to 10MHz of spectrum at a time
Significantly improved noise performance below 1MHz (i.e. for some MF, LF and below)
Improved dynamic range below 2MHz both in tuner mode and HDR mode
HDR mode below 2MHz giving overall dynamic range and selectivity advantages
Software selectable choice of 3 antenna ports
External clock input for synchronisation purposes, or connection to GPS reference clock for extra frequency accuracy
Excellent dynamic range for challenging reception conditions
Free use of Windows-based SDRuno software (check website for versions supported)
Free use of SDRconnect SDR and server software for Windows, MacOS and Linux (Check website for versions supported)
Multiplatform driver and API support including Windows, Linux, Mac, and Raspberry Pi 4/5
Strong and growing software support network
Calibrated S meter/ RF power and SNR measurement with SDRuno (including datalogging to .CSV file capability)
Documented API provided to allow demodulator or application development on multiple platforms
