Excellent way of comparing the two models.

@nickpeterson2042 22 дня назад

Any chance you have an Airspy Discovery HF+? To me that seems the competition to the RSPdx r2. It’d be interesting to see which has better SNR in the HF bands

@vb7913 22 дня назад

Definitely would like to see a comparison to Discovery HF+

@SquillagusNiggle 18 дней назад

I have an HF+ and the old RSPdx. The Discovery is excellent for the frequencies it covers, but the RSPdx beats having a Disco HF+ AND an Airspy R2 as the multiple antenna ports make it a breeze to set up a multiband receiver. For absolute low-band sensitivity the RSPdx and HF+ are similar, but HF+ seems to have lower noise, probably due to fewer bandpass stages. Looking at those SNR values though, I'd think the new RSPdx R2 will be as good or better than the HF+.

Still waiting for Noise Reduction in SDRConnect.

SDRConnect preview 3 looks great. Unfortunately I have to go back to version 2. My Macbook Pro m1 crashes several times in between and every time when shutting down. In any case, it is a nice program and I look forward to the next version.

What components are inside? Compare the PCB's in both versions.

The frequency scale needs hash marks or at least an option for them. As always, another great video. I wonder how ir will compare to the Ranger? As time goes on, things just keep getting better in the SDR world.

@SteveNilsen 21 день назад

Great review! I'm curious about that signal splitter. What is the frequency range and where did you buy it from?

@juliocesarpereira4325 19 дней назад

Nice. Do you have the video where you connect your Icom R71 to the RSPdx using it as a panadaptor? I happen to have an R71a too.

@TechMindsOfficial 19 дней назад

Hi there! I was referring to my Icom IC-7100, and I do have a video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HBrlHBZ7lj4.html Cheers

@BigGoucho 21 день назад

Have they added RTL-SDR functionality yet? I know in SDR UNO you can add the EXTIO.dll but havent found how to do it on SDR Play. Cracking video by the way, thanks.

@liverpudd306 21 день назад

Nice to see that you have got this working Matt. I have tried installing SDR Connect on my Win 11 PC and Linux (Ubuntu) and neither can 'see' my RSP device even though it shows up on Device manager etc. Spent hours installing and reinstalling to try and get it top work. No joy. I won't bother trying it on the RPi5. Once again SDR Play software has shown to be crap!!!

@jim5148 4 дня назад

All 3 of the SDRconnect preview versions have installed and ran okay on my computers, which are PC on Win10, PC on Win11, and Raspberry Pi 4 on OS12. Not sure why the device won't show up in the little window for you. You are running at least an RSP-1A aren't you? The original RSP-1 is not compatible with SDRconnect.

Your video pushed me over the edge.. I went and ordered me one from HRO in the US 😂 how does it compare to the AirSpy HF+ Discovery?

@TechMindsOfficial 18 дней назад

I have not compared it yet with the HF+, probably something I wouldn't do in a video as I have respect for both AirSpy and SDRPlay and would not want to P*ss on anyones toes, if you get what I mean :-) Thanks for watching..

@Yosemite_Sam 21 день назад

Great review. Frankly an SDR receiver only is not much use if it cannot transmit. I wish they would make one that will tx 500mw. Coupling it to an amp is easy.

@4nradio782 17 дней назад

There are many, many users of SDRs who have no interest in transmitting. There are so many avenues of radio listening and DXing, and SDRs is one type of receiver to use for monitoring. I myself have owned numerous SDRs, since a FlexRadio SR-1000 in 2005-2007. In late 2007 I bought a Perseus SDR (my favorite) and haven't looked back. I have also owned WinRadio, Airspy, SDRplay, Elad, and other SDR brands, as well as SDR based transceivers (IC-7300, IC-705, FTdx10).My personal interest is DXing foreign medium wave broadcasters, but others listen to all sorts of different interesting targets with SDRs. These SDRs aren't limited to just the ham bands 😊

@Yosemite_Sam 16 дней назад

@@4nradio782 All this is all fine and dandy and goes without saying but for those who are interested, including experimenters, a model that is capable of Tx would be great. I have played with an Hack RF, Open HPSDR, Apache Labs Hermes, Pluto and a G2 Saturn. Transmitting allows for lot more experimenting.

@lazyoldmanathome7699 10 дней назад

I found I could not run SDRUNO after installing SDRConnect. So I had to uninstall SDRConnect it and then completely reinstall SDRUNO before it work again. A shame that SDRConnect is, as yet, lacking many features that I use in SDRUNO. I'll have to wait I suppose.

@TheElectronicDilettante 21 день назад

Does SDRConnect still only work with SDRPlay hardware?? I keep hoping I’m messing something up when trying to connect other SDR receivers to SDRConnect. Pretty janky when the market was founded on “open source” and interconnectivity of hardware/software. I refuse to buy “genuine” SDRplay Recievers because their software discriminates against every other piece of SDR hardware available.

@SquillagusNiggle 18 дней назад

To be fair, so does SDR-Sharp. Yes the software will work with many receivers, but it locks you out of modules and plugins which are the lifeblood of any platform and the reason you'd go with SDR-Sharp in the first place. Unfortunately SDRplay and AirSpy teams managed to have a classic transatlantic fallout and can't reconcile.
