SDRplay RSP1A – 14-bit SDR Receiver (1 kHz to 2 GHz)

 The SDRplay RSP1A is a popular, powerful wideband full featured 14-bit entry-level SDR receiver – and perfect as an all round general coverage communications receiver plus much much more.
The RSP1A covers the complete radio spectrum from 1 kHz (VLF) to 2 GHz (Microwaves) with up to a massive 10 MHz visible bandwidth and the companion SDRuno software has all the popular ham bands and shortwave broadcast bands as “presets” for instant set-up.
