SDRplay RSP1B 14-bit SDR Receiver (1 kHz to 2 GHz)

Description

The SDRplay RSP1B is an enhanced version of the popular RSP1A – a powerful, wideband, full-featured 14-bit SDR that covers the RF spectrum from 1 kHz to 2 GHz. The RSP1B comes in a rugged, black-painted steel case and offers significantly improved noise performance.

All it needs is a computer and an antenna to deliver excellent communications-receiver functionality. It includes a choice of SDRuno for Windows and the multi-platform SDRconnect software for Windows, macOS, and Linux (supplied free of charge by SDRplay). You can monitor up to 10 MHz of spectrum at a time.

A documented API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications for the platform.

Features

  • 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 10 MHz of spectrum at a time
  • Free use of windows-based SDRuno software which provides an ever-increasing feature-set
  • 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
  • Excellent dynamic range for challenging reception conditions
  • Works with popular 3rd party SDR software (including HDSDR, SDR Console and Cubic SDR)
  • ExtIO based plugin available
  • Software upgradeable for future standards
  • Strong and growing software support network
  • API provided to allow demodulator or application development
  • Multiplatform driver and API support including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and Raspberry Pi
  • Up to 16 individual receivers in any 10 MHz slice of spectrum using SDRuno
  • Calibrated S meter and power measurements with SDRuno
  • Stand-alone windows-based spectrum analyser software available (with sweep, sample and hold features)
  • Ideal for monitoring of ISM/ IoT/ Telemetry bands <2 GHz
  • Ideal for portable operation
