This channel is all about the Software Defined Radio Receiver from SDRplay - the 'RSP'. It includes SDR demos, instructions and tips as well as sections with videos of helpful hints and techniques for SDR users. Because SDRplay provides SDRuno and SDRconnect software, there are a growing number of videos featuring SDRuno. SDR-Console and HDSDR are also well covered. SDRplay encourages suggestions for additional videos we can add to our playlists - especially for non-English-speaking viewers.
Holiday fun accessing your SDRplay RSP back home
In this holiday video, if you're taking your transceiver with you, we show how accessing an RSPdx-R2 back home using SDRconnect server/client combination can be great fun. As well as hearing your own signal, sometimes reception can be much better than you can achieve locally!
All you need is a laptop (PC, MacOS or Linux) and an internet connection.
(In this example we used a Raspberry Pi but you could have the SDRconnect server software running on Windows, Mac or other Linux hardware)

I do this with my RSP1B and allow friends to log on and scan the airwaves, superb bit of software and easy to setup the SDRconnect server
External protection question. In addition to my new RSP1B, my concern also involves protection of my NanoVNA-H4 and my TinySA Ultra inputs. Will a SMA shorting plug be sufficient to protect these inputs, and if so, should such a termination be considered a fundamental requirement when these devices are stored or not in use while in the HAM shack?
I'm interested in the duo for EME/amsat work with my 7100. I was also interested in the DX as I thought it had better HF performance, though after watching this it looks more like it's for MF/LF/VLF. That's not a bad thing, just less of a concern, so the duo would suit my needs for both EME/amsat & DX at amd above 80 metres. Is there any difference if one wanted to use them for counting meteors on tge 6 metre band?
Loved this video and my Raspberry Pi 5 plus and we now have RPI-Connect to run other applications world wide from the Raspberry Pi, this is great fun to play with my 3 SDR radios I now have, thanks Jon, quick question when is the next update due to dropped for SDR-Connect ? hope it is soon, the last update was May 24th 2024 and waiting
We are very close. Just a couple of weeks from now, all being well.
@@SDRplayRSP Great news Jon, cant wait I love SDR-Connect
Come to think of it, why own a receiver at all when there are so many of them online and the grass is always greener somewhere else? <irony off>
LOL! Indeed! ;-)
I connected to your RSPdx R2 on August 20th at 6:10 AM (UTC) using my SDRconnect in Tokyo. I was able to operate your SDR as if it was at my house and receive multiple frequencies. It may be an issue with the internet speed, but I was able to connect with "Audio" but not with "IQ". Thanks for the great video.
You are welcome. IQ requires incredible end-to-end internet speed, but as you found out, "audio" mode will work well on a regular connection.
Cool, neat idea 😊
Brilliant stuff Jon. I'm sure Trish just loved you taking the radio on holiday with you, but work is work, I suppose!!! 🙂
She's used to it! And the grandchildren showed bemused interest.
Been doing this for several years using Kiwi sdr sites as well as websdr sites. My SDRplay pro2 sits in a drawer waiting for this connect software to add rig control so I can use it as a panadapter on Linux. Not sure how many purchased these things to be receivers when we already have many receivers in most shacks. The panadapter was what we were adding. Hopefully you will work on that soon. ??? Jon
Rig control for SDRconnect is a high priority for us.
The RPI image is no longer available on Sdrplay website, where I can found the image?
We no longer provide images. Have you tried the scripts?: czcams.com/video/-KHMOVmxLEU/video.htmlsi=pHm7AWGcznW1T8BQ
@@SDRplayRSP yes but as today the script v0.3 is little bit different from the shared video, I think it would be better if you will do a new video with the new v0.3 script, best regards
I have two RSP's in useand would love uno to have the possibility to enter frequencies in MHz or KHz and not in Hz so not having to count the number of digits every time. On the main display it is separated by decimal points at least but would be nice in the settings to.
You can. just add M or K at the end of the number of Megahertz or kilohertz required

Too expensive hardware for FM listening . How much did they pay you for this crap video?
Are there any pre-amps that work with this radio’s 4.7v bias?
For VLF and LF, would the improved noise performance of the RSPdx-r2 outweigh the lower noise floor of the duo's HighZ input?
I got MSSTV is Free!
I have a Raspberry Pi 4, Hooked up to a Sdrplay RSP DX using SDR connects, works very well,
When is the Android Version is coming out?
I am trying to connect SDR UNO to HRD, specifically to use HRD Satellite Tracker to control the frequency. I tried to set up HRD to connect to a virtual pair port 12 and the SDR UNO to virtual port 11. No luck even though they are both set to 57600 baud. Is there another way I should be ding this?
there are two app notes on the website that cover this.
I am having a hard time picking up anything in VHF/UHF. Not even FM Radio. Changed modes, narrow and wide. I have connected to HF and VHF/UHF antenna through duplexer. I have used with other radios and can confirm antenna works. I am running through panadaper on Icom 7300. Perhaps it can't pass any signals beyond the Icom 7300 range? It is working as separate HF receiver. So I am thinking I would need to use another duplexor and run VHF/UHF signals to separate antenna input? Will that offer enough protection from stray signals you think if I transmit on Icom 7300?
I struggle to understand how the data transfer over the virtual cable works. Is the sound card hard ware of the PC involved or not? I got it working, but while the cw signals in sdrplay are clean, in cwskimmer it looks all foggy and noisy.
Great work guys - really! I find myself looking for a PL filter. Most ham radio repeaters transmit a tone below 160Hz which is annoying if not filtered out. High pass filter possible?
how to do to decode FT4/FT8 ?

I would love to see using SDRconnect with Tailscale, which would bypass the need to open ports on your router, provide better security when accessing via the internet by creating a VLAN. It also overcomes the pesky GCNATting many ISP's are now using worldwide. I currently use Tailscale and Icoms RS-BA1 to provide secure anywhere in the world access to my radio station. Any chance you could cover this, it may be very useful to the SDRPlay community as it bypasses any ISP IP requirements and doesn't require open ports on your router which can lead to attacks. Using Tailscale is an ideal way to connect to very remote site (server) using the cellular network and connecting the client (control) PC from a cellular network. Extactly what I've done with my current Icom remote station mentioned above. VK5TC
I bought the SDRPlay 2 from HRO, about 5, 6 years ago. When hooking it up, and trying it for the first time, I hooked it up to my 4 band Vert . I was receiving a lot of noise coming in from High Voltage lines about 800 ft away. So, I disconnected the antenna and tried a small indoor antenna and the same thing. I then wrapped the complete system with copper tape and all noise was gone, even on the 4 band vert. Now my questions, a few days after wrapping it in copper tape I was called upon to run emerg comms for a Gov agency, and was doing so up until a few months ago. When I went to install unit and software, it asked for SN. Hmm, the copper tape has been on for 5, 6 years, I can't find receipt, can I read it via computer electronically? Or will it work anyway without it? Plus will any software on the website work with the 2?
@@buzzsah if you start up SDRuno or SDRconnect it will display the serial number. You do not need the serial number to download the software. But if you do not register the unit you will not receive tech support.
good video and excellent explanation. I have a Stl-sdr V4 and it does not work, it detects the drive but does not recognize the V4 version
I have been an avid SWL listener since my teenage years in the late 1970s. Given my experience in the hobby, I have noticed one thing with SWL radios in the sub $1,000 price range. And that is that cheaper radios often have RF images leaking over from other frequencies due to harmonic interference. Thankfully, I have not noticed that with my RSP1A or my RSP1B. The SDR Play spectrum display is second to none, but given the low price of these radios, I am very impressed with the RF performance also. I also own an ICOM IC7030, Yaesu FT-991A, Drake R-8, and a AOR-7030. My SDR Play radios function very well RF wise and give me a spectrum display neither my Yaesu or ICOM can match.
Many thanks for the feedback. We have learned a lot along the way and it's good to see how well they perform.
I'm testing SDRConnect and can't find a way to filter out CTCSS tones. The audio filter seems to pass frequencies <300Hz through.
Noted - we'll have to get back to you on that.
I still don't own one, cause i cant afford it (not your problem, i do know your products are bang-for-buck), but it's nice to watch these videos updating, teaching and giving feeback to users and fans of your products/company. keep them coming! 73s for sunny portugal!
Nice update John and happy summer to you and yours as well. Have really been enjoying SDRConnect (on Mac) with my DXR2. A great combination.
The sun's been causing issues as of late on the HF bands in the US , but there's been a number of good days too. 73's
John, you fellows across the pond are killing it for the shortwave hobby, now that I own a RSP1A and a RSP1B. Your SDR-Uno software is simply the best software for weak signal HF diggers like myself. I thought you Brits quit making great radios since the days of the AOR-7030 I bought 26 years ago. Boy was I wrong!
Many thanks for the enthusiasm and encouragement!!! Much appreciated!
@@SDRplayRSP When it comes to the SWL and radio listening hobby, I am an aspiring Imelda Marcos of radios because I now plan to purchase because I also plan to buy your DX version. Is it possible to run at least two instances of SRDUNO on one high powered laptop? I own a new HP 12 core I7 laptop. That would be great because I run my setup on a two screen mode. If I could run SDRUNO and your newer Connect software on the same laptop at the same time, that would be great now that I have a serious antenna farm in my backyard.
@@stefanz9929 yes you can!
Hi, Have you ever thought about including built in wifi + battery/DC power into the SDRplay to enable portable/mobile use with iPadOS along with a version of SDR connect? Can the current SDRplay be used with android tablets?
I wonder what's behind the apparent fallout between the SDRPlay people and the AirSpy folks. They used to support each others receivers in their respective software but apparently something happend along the way.
I understand that there are two receivers in SDRplay. can i use both at the same time with another instance of CW skimmer to skim two bands at the same time?
@@Garimeli if the two bands are within the 10MHz you can set up another VRX for the other band. There is only one receiver needed. If the bands are outside the 10MHz limit then you would need a dual tuner RSPduo.
