Why not build the RSP with BNC instead of SMA. Everybody is using an adapter.... it seems a bit...I don't know how to call it but its just an annoying connector that fits .... nothing. I have an RSP and love it...but that connector, jesus.
Great video, not used my sdrplay for a year or so but it’s inspired me to find it and get it going again, love the sledge hammer to bang the copper tube into the ground by the way😂
Many thanks for all the good wishes. We will try to provide limited support over the Christmas period. Although some of the real expertise when it comes to answering questions is out there in the SDRplay community forums: www.sdrplay.com/communitylinks
I have had my RSPDX for 3 weeks & I love it more every day. Recliner & a 65" TV makes for comfy radio fun! And it is so very nice to buy something NOT from China!
If only their wonderful software would run on my Mac Studio under OS 12.7. I can't upgrade to 13 because I'd lose the Firewire support for thousands of pounds worth of audio hardware. The Windows version doesn't run on this machine because it's Apple silicon based and VMWare doesn't support it. So, I'll be listening to SAQ via the Twente SDR again. Pity really.
Having said that the Windows version won’t run because it is for Intel, not ARM architecture. If I was not travelling I would also see if I could install the Intel Mac version, (it may give you errors but maybe can workaround) since An ole silicon can emulate Intel based programs.
My solution was to dedicate a Windows 10 machine to the RSP and nothing else. Said machine has no other software installed other than SDRUno and SDRConnect and it is not connected to anything other than the radio. No WiFi, no ethernet, no anything. Period. Just the RSP box. If I need to update the software then I copy it to a USB stick and install from there. So since this computer is not connected to the outside world, it has proven to be just as fast and reliable as it was (2) years ago when I set it up. It isn't bothered by nor affected by endless operating system updates, and is immune to malware etc. So that was my solution. It didn't cost much money, works reliably and well, and gives best of everything because it will run SDRUno, SDRConnect, and other SDR software without issue. Even if you are a hardcore Mac user, you can still do this and just use the Windows machine only for the radio. The free version of Windows 10 will work just fine and you will have access to far more SDR software than is available for the Mac.
OK, I returned home and verified that there is no issue installing and using the x64 version of SDRconnect on an Apple Silicon Mac (The Intel version is happy Wirth any version of MacOS from Catalina onwards).
Thanks for the video and have a great day!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉! 73!
Thanks, and you too.
Merry Christmas to you all from Wellington Somerset
I want to add that the folks at SDRPlay seem so nice, that it feels GOOD to support them.
Merry Christmas Jon! See you in the new year!
Will do! Happy Christmas Mike

The SMAs are spec'd for lower loss right up to 2GHz. On the RSPdx we have one BNC input for lower frequencies (up to VHF)

I Have the RSP1A...love it...SEASONS GREETINGS to you all at sdrplay
I got an RSP1A for Christmas and can't wait to get it up and running.
check out the many how-to videos on the web site.

Love my SDRPlay! Merry Christmas from Wichita Kansas USA.
Very cool radio, merry Christmas and happy new year 😊
And to you Jon, Happy New Year. Paul
Does the crown come with every RSP?

Can you tell me how to buy the RSP from SDR
You can buy direct from us here in the UK: www.sdrplay.com/purchase/ or from one of the authorised resellers here: www.sdrplay.com/distributors/

I really think you should voice your displeasure to Apple: forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721151

@@SDRplayRSP It does indeed, until I try to access the Global Settings. Then it crashes, reliably.
I wish I had the DX, but I can't afford it.
The RSP1A is a more affordable alternative!
