The SDRplay RSP2

On November the 22nd, 2016, SDRplay Limited has announced the launch of a second Software Defined Radio product – the RSP2. Below you will find an interview with SDRplay Co-Founder and Director, Jon Hudson.

Here’s the manufacturer description for the RSP2

The RSP2 is a powerful wideband full-featured SDR which covers all frequencies from 1 kHz up to 2 GHz. This enhanced version of the popular RSP1 provides three software selectable antenna inputs, & new stability (TCXO) and clocking features ideally suited to industrial, scientific & educational applications. Combined with the power of SDRuno receiver software this versatile receiver can monitor up to 10 MHz of spectrum at a time. The RSP2 is housed in an RF shielded robust plastic case or in a metal case for the Pro version.
