Eric, PA1TNO, has a question. Do think the PSPdx has better sensitivity and selectivity on VHF/UHF? Watch to learn more.

The SDR technology is new to me and these videos are very helpful in their thorough explanations. Thanks, Dave. 73, AC3HT

Could NOT have been more well timed. Thanks Dave!

Hey Dave - you do a great job. Obviously you had a very good education - it shows in all your presentations.

Can anyone tell how to use Rtl sdr to turn Android phone into old rf tv using OTG conection is there any Working App ?

[gorillamotors]

When would use the High-Z Port Characteristics antenna port?

[tahoma]

This is like asking which soap bar is better.

The answer is, a matter of preference and duty.

I have the SDR 2 which is no longer made, I may have used it for an hour or so. Which would be closest to to the SDR 2?

[PureAwareness]

The new RSP1B is out.
Have you tried the Malahit DSP-2? I can't decide between the two.
Thank you!

I use Fedora as my daily driver as far as operating systems are concerned. Is the software native to Linux, or would I have to set up Wine to operate?

What a coincidence! I just ordered an SDRPlay and this brand new video pops up… well coincidence, totalitarian big tech interconnection 😊

[perseus]

WoW. Thanks to this video I looked back at the specs of my RSP1, yes the original, and I realized that it has a NF=12.5dB @3MHz while the newest RSP1B has NF=18dB @ 2-4MHz ! Should I conclude that my old RSP1 is better at HF? Quite hard to believe huh

Thank you, Dave.
That was helpful. N0QFT

Did I see a pendulum mechanical watch at the background

Which SDR Play Receiver is Best? The one you can get. The RSP1A works fine for me.

[ManuelPinner]

I have the SDR Play RSP DX and a Adalm Pluto SDR!

[paulhotson]

Best to spend your money on a better antenna.

[SHTFchef]

What gives me pause about SDRPlay is the lack of support for anything other than SDRUno. I prefer SDRSharp. If the hardware were more open I would not hesitate.

[oasntet]

I really like the idea of the Duo, but then I look at the price and I realize I could buy about 10 separate RTL-SDRs for that price and do all of the multi-tuning in software instead...
