2 14-bit ADC Silicon Technology
3 Up to 10MhZ Visible Bandwidth

5 Windows Linux Android MAC & Raspberry Pi 3
6 Free World-Class uno Software
An open API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform.
The RSP1A is also compatible with HD, -Console and Cubic SDR software packages
Used with the free Professional SDR Software you can enjoy all modes of operation whilst monitoring up to 10 MHz of spectrum in real time. Uno software allows you to operate from 1 up to 4 independent virtual SDR Receivers within the selected 10MHz bandwidth of the hardware. The actual number of Virtual SDR receivers is limited by the processing power of the PC in use.
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
