SDRplay and Walkbury Electronics manufacturing

We talk to one of the directors and show some of the key manufacturing and test processes involved.

The RSP family of SDRs from SDRplay cover 1kHz to 2 GHz with no gaps and give up to 10MHz spectrum visibility.

It's great to see something being designed and manufactured here in the UK for a change well done everyone at SDRPlay and Walkbury Electronics manufacturing!.

Very satisfying to know the rspdx being made in the UK. Didn't know this when I ordered. Fascinating seeing the manufacturing process.
Damm shame that many of the top google hits are bogus. Happy to have purchased this thru a local HRO store in the US.

I bought RSP1A few weeks ago, so excellent receiver! After lots of research I will order a RSPDuo today, try antenna diversity receive. Thank You SDRPLAY!

Amazing job having a product designed and manufactured in the UK, and not outsourcing to the cheapest overseas factory, and keeping the price great too!

So cool. I have an SDRPlay RSP1A and now know that it was reflowed in a Heller oven....whom I work for as a Field Service Engineer in the U.S. If I were there I'd go into your Overview Studio and fix the SP and PV nomenclature positions, as well as the light tower indicator position, on the Main Overview Screen. That happens when the display resolution is fiddled with after installation. Our 1707MKIII ovens are workhorses, for sure! :)

Very interesting. I've seen the PCB operation for computer parts, but this was more in depth. Thanks!

Exellent idea to show how its made. Please pay attention to your sound recording.

I was surprised to see no electrostatic protection being used in the assembly stage.

May I suggest investing in a lavalier/lapel microphone next time, please?

Lousy audio. Unwatchable. Gone at 1:30 mark.
