SDRplay RSP1A 1kHz - 2000Mhz Wideband SDR Receiver

Supplied by SDR-Kits - Authorised Distributor of SDRplay Radios since 2015

 Upgraded powerful wideband full-featured 14-bit SDR which covers the RF Spectrum from 1 kHz to 2 GHz.

Building on the success of the popular RSP1, the RSP1A offers a significant number of additional features whilst maintaining exceptional performance and great value for money.

● 1kHz–2000 MHz Continuous Coverage

● 14-bit ADC Silicon Technology

● Up to 10MhZ Visible Bandwidth

● 11 High-Selectivity Built-in Front End Preselection Filters

● Windows Linux Android  MAC & Raspberry Pi 3

● Free World-Class SDRuno Software

Used with the free Professional SDRUno SDR Software you can enjoy all modes of operation whilst monitoring up to 10 MHz of spectrum in real time. SDRUno software allows you to operate from 1 up to 4 independent virtual SDR Receivers within the selected 10MHz bandwidth of the SDRplay hardware. The actual number of Virtual SDR receivers is limited by the processing power of the PC in use.

An open API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform.

The RSP1A is also compatible with HDSDR, SDR-Console and Cubic SDR software packages

Main additional features of the RSP1A compared to the original RSP1:

  • ADC resolution increased to 14-bit native for sample rates below 6 MHz, increasing to 16 bits with decimation

  • Enhanced RF pre-selection (greater filter selectivity plus 4 additional sub-bands compared to the original RSP1) for reduced levels of spurious responses

  • Improved LNA architecture with variable gain - the RSP1 had just a single gain step

  • Improved intermodulation performance

  • Performance extended to cover 1kHz to 2 GHz with a single antenna port

  • Bias-T facility

  • Improved frequency stability incorporating a 0.5ppm TCXO (software trimmable to 0.01ppm)

  • Selectable broadcast AM/FM/DAB notch filters

  • RF shielding within the robust plastic casing

RSPdx - redesigned model with improved dynamic range and selectivity plus 3 antenna inputs also available

RSPduo Dual Tuner SDR Receiver also available

Package Contents: 1 pcs SDRplay RSP1A with "Getting Started" information.

Note: The SDRplay RSP1A requires a standard USB-A plug to USB-B plug Cable. This USB Cable is NOT supplied with the RSP1A as the majority of buyers will already have such a cable available.

SDR-Kits Warranty includes parts and labour and the cost of return shipping, provided the product has not been misused. Specifically the RF Power applied to the RSP1A Antenna socket should be limited to a maximum of +10dBm to avoid damage to the RSP1A.
