My RSP1A is the best radio deal I've ever gotten, and I own a lot of radios. So nice to have a company that produces an outstanding product at a very nice price. Two words to describe the SDRPlay folks: Excellence with Integrity.
I own a RSPdx, and really like it.. I use it with SDRuno and SDR console. SDR console is great for tracking and listening to satellites with the SDR. SDR-spectrum analyzer was finally recently released with support for the RSPdx, and I use it as a spectrum analyzer as well.
That was a great video, thank you! I have the SDR RSPdx and the Uno software and love it, works great for me and easy to use once I got used to it. I have a strong nearby AM broadcast station and this is the only SDR I have been able to use without problems from the station.
Very interesting. Excellent quality control. I buy broken bluetooth headphones on ebay and repair and sell the ones I don't want. I've found bad solder joints on speakers and on surrace mount components that were placed incorrectly. So my compliments on your QC.
love the RSPduo, own one and just ordered another 2 ..i wish SDRuno had a more sophisticated audio recorder (VOX reccording, auto daily record with time and date filing)
Thank you for this. My SDRPlay (RSP1A) is perhaps my best little SDR device for reception. The software on Windows works great, but on linux some of the filters don't seem available. I've received more with it than my sdr-rlt dongle or the nooelec ones. I was pretty amazed that it was made in the UK, and available so cheap when imported into the US zone (importing UK products is hit or miss with brokers fees).
If i had a 100 million i would open a factory and make a big SDR that would fit in a 13" laptop bag, full radio spectrum that uses a metallic case as the antenna, accessible web interface with builtin additions like RFID, NFC and smart card read write with support for community based plugins an internal battery, a drive bay for a removable SSD that stores logged ADS-b, WiFi probes and voice comms etc.
Very informative, Matt - thank you - at 41:27 - RSP3? I know Andy wouldn't give dates but SDRUno 1.42 with the new remote client is the one I'm waiting for. Cheers.
Thought you’d had an upgrade in test equipment at Tech Minds Towers when it started Matt 👌 😆 Great behind the scenes video and look ahead to the future- nice one sir 👍👏👏
Great recievers and had a demo at our local club but surely must start looking at TX option too? Even if just qrpp. I bought a pluto over this despite poor freq stability.. Before that I had the LimeSDR mini but could never seem to get it to work. 73 DE ZS1CDG
Love To Have The Peek Into HOW They Are Made, I Would L O V E To See The RTL.SDR factory ! THAT Thing Is Really NEAR AND DEAR To me Now And I Only Own One Of Them :)
Some authorised resellers do sell on Amazon but beware fake clones where they cut and paste pictures and text - the fakes are also advertised on Aliexpress and Banggood. Here's a list of authorised resellers www.sdrplay.com/distributors/
Thanks matt, great video. I have a rspdx but I'm also considering a 1a, I just do L band, and want to monitor 54w and 98w at the same time on the same PC, I also run 5 VB cables, So is it possible to run the 2 sdrs on 1 PC, or do I need a different approach
Hi Gilles, I think would be interesting to have information about how astronaut/spaceship/Mars rover/NASA use radio to communicate between each other. How can we communicate from Mars to earth ? H.F / V.H.F/ U.H.F ? Type of radios ? distance ? frequencies ? Thanks, ve2 wmj
and now get it running EASY ( not like UK where they drive on the left, got inches and dont use the Euro)..What I mean...Make it EASY work on GNU Radio, SDR#,etc etc, NOT your own concepts. BUT I have to admit it beautiful stuff, I bought it, but it doesnt work on my equipment. Why...Why do you think most people use RTL-SDR?
The SDRplay devices used to work on SDR# but I believe air spy removed its support. You may be able to find an older version of SDR# but I highly recommend to use SDRuno, it’s fantastic software and soon to be cross platform 👍
I hope somebody at SDRPlay is going to read this. IMHO the priorities are wrong for the software developement, getting a cross platform version is MUCH more important than adding miscellaneous features to existing software. If you are able to market to Mac users for example you open up a whole new market. I know there is CubicSDR and others, but it simply isn't the same otherwise they would also be used on windows as a preferred SW, which they aren't... People won't by a new RSPdx becuase of a plug-in or a new scheduler (which is under the surface anyway), but they will go buy an alternative if it works on Mac or has software that really takes advantage of the hardware. My biggest disappointment was that the SDRUno software won't even run on a Mac properly in VirtualBox! So pleeeeeease if we are going to have to wait months for a MacOS release at least make it work in a virtual machine.
I’m too looking forward for cross platform support. As Andy said in the video, it is coming, but he’s the only developer so resources are used wisely. As soon as it drops on Mac/Linux I’ll be straight on it. Thanks for watching and I will pass your message onto the SDRPlay team. 🙏
Years later, I'm still very disappointed that they still ignore the linux community. Can't they at least make an appimage of the SDRuno software? I regret buying this product and wish I would have purchased an Airspy or something else.

Would love to see SDRplay make a transceiver.
Same!!

Fascinating and informative. A real success story for the UK

Whey you say, "listening to satellites," what kind of content or data can you get?
That was a great video, thank you! I have the SDR RSPdx and the Uno software and love it, works great for me and easy to use once I got used to it. I have a strong nearby AM broadcast station and this is the only SDR I have been able to use without problems from the station.
Thanks a lot Matt !
Super interesting to know the people who make good products, how and why.
One of those times the voice is nothing like imagined the person looked like

I use RTLSticks and SDRSharp since 2013. Its a great experience. Best antennas are by self made. Thanks for explaining!
oh wow this is great to watch.. more of the lab also...
You’re welcome 😉
Thank you makes you appreciate the item more

After watching this video I subscribed as the quality of information is dense and compact. I enjoyed it.
Great receivers, I use them for my Heppen online-websdr. Thanks Jon and Andy! Great product. Love it.
Great stuff, thank you! I missed your videos in the past weeks, glad you're back.

What about having QPSK16/QPSK32/QPSK 64 and QAM as extra modes
Thought you’d had an upgrade in test equipment at Tech Minds Towers when it started Matt 👌 😆
Great behind the scenes video and look ahead to the future- nice one sir 👍👏👏
Impressive.... plug and play.....I was surprised with the results...
Today, on How Its Made..
Great video btw, really interesting!

Enjoying my HackRF One. I use a couple Softrock's for HF.
Thank you for this most interesting video!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 🙏
This video is FANTASTIC!
Very good job ! Great video. Thanks.
I have the dx and I love it . while setting it up the first i thought i crashed it
rule of thumb uninstall reinstall and fixed .what a black box.
Love To Have The Peek Into HOW They Are Made, I Would L O V E To See The RTL.SDR factory !
THAT Thing Is Really NEAR AND DEAR To me Now And I Only Own One Of Them :)
That would be cool!
I just wish they were sold on Amazon. Great Video

@@SDRplayRSP I should of said Amazon US, but thanks for the info about the fakes.
@Siebenstern I only order off Amazon to limit my credit card on-line exposure.
Extremely well done!
Wow a face to go along with the voice of TECHMINDS, as usual not at all who i envisioned. LOL Cool.
Scary isnt it! lol...
Exellent to watch keep up the great work.
Are sdrplay considering a direct sampling receiver?
HI! I just saw "RSP3" on the monitor screen at 41:26 to 41:28, and "RSP3 DUO" at 41:58 ! Does it real?
and 42:38, at the top of screen, it shows "SDRPLAY RSP3".
At one time we planned to call the RSPduo the RSP3 - it was our internal name during manufacturing setup
@@SDRplayRSP ohh, thank you for the reply, OK, now I order a RSPduo from Ham Radio Outlet.
Interesting. Thank you. 👍
41:26 They are making the RSP3, interesting
Very interesting, thank you...
You’re welcome 😉

Whats the CAD software (39:48) being used by SDR ?
From the title bar and image search I'd say Autodesk Eagle?
Love the content! Keep it up. (:

Thank you 🙏
thanks for the video. any linux or osx software other than cubicSDR?
Cool!
It is always nice to see how the sausage is made.
Hi, do you have experience with using a SDR receiver on a Wi-fi network at home?

Great video!

I've been waiting YEARS for "it's coming". Don't hold your breath. Linux is in the same boat.
Why does he preface all his answers with "so". It's an annoying affectation, imo.
So, I’m not sure...
Years later, I'm still very disappointed that they still ignore the linux community. Can't they at least make an appimage of the SDRuno software? I regret buying this product and wish I would have purchased an Airspy or something else.
As mentioned in the video there will be cross platform coming soon. Fingers crossed :)
Could you and the interviewee not speak at the same time? It's hard to listen to both voices.
Bring me Linux and I will get my wallet out
It’s coming real soon!
