SDRplay announces their second generation SDR, the RSP2

This morning, SDRplay Limited announced the release - and availability
- of their second generation software define radio, the RSP2.

I’m a pretty big fan of SDRplay’s first SDR, the RSP, or “RSP1,” as
I’ll now call it (I published a review of the RSP1 in July 2015). To
me, the $129 RSP1 has been the best wideband receiver you can buy
under $200 US. Its HF performance, in particular, is sincerely
impressive at this price point.

So what’s the RSP2, and how does it differ from the original RSP?
In a nutshell, here’s how SDRplay describes the difference between the two:

“The RSP2 delivers a significant number of additional features which
result in a higher spec for specialist amateur radio users as well as
benefits for additional scientific, educational and industrial SDR
applications.”

In a sense, the RSP2 gives the enthusiast and experimenter access to
more receiver parameters and control, opening it to a wider array of
possible applications. The RSP2 will also cover a broader range, from
as low as 1 kHz to as high as to 2 GHz, and is designed with better
selectivity across the spectrum. Enhanced selectivity will certainly
benefit amateur radio operators and SWL DXers who might seek weak
signals in crowded portions of the band.

thoughts after having the RSP2 on the air:
