I have a few RSP receivers that I really want to use with iOS SDRconnect. There's something exciting about having a small touchscreen device on a mountain that can pick up a large range of radio signals.
Sounds like this thing is a one-box substitute for the sdr dongle + raspberry pi combination. Looks like this thing consumes 2.5 watts vs 12 - 15 watts of raspberry pi. (Can survive longer on a battery). It saves on the pain of installing software/configuring the pi/the router. It is also wide-band, up to seeing airplane transponders (f.e. In Arctic Canada).
It's a shame that sdrplay aren't integrating the IQ lite and the web-server functionality into the normal version of the sdrconnect.. I already have an Rspdx and a Raspberry pi and use sdrconnect in server mode, it would be nice to have the IQ lite and the web-server without having to spend €500 for the same thing in a metal box...
I am thinking of using this in a sheltered but unheated location. It would be protected from rain and snow, but temperatures could drop to 10 F (-12 C). It would be powered by a 12 V car battery with a 5V USB converter. Is this setup worth a try?

Remote operation SDR would be a wonderful thing.
Where are you finding the firmware updates, Gilles?
There is a software updater in the SDRplay folder, it checks and updates the firmware of the device

SDRplay are good receivers.
