A review update of the excellent SDRPlay RSPduo, 2 months in...

Hi there, here's an update on the brilliant SDRPlay RSPduo. I took it to Nantes with me a couple of weeks ago and set up with two antennas - the Bonito NTi MegaLoop and MegaDipol. All of the equipment performed very well but almost as important was the portability. Here you effectively have two SDR receivers, USB powered with a very small form-factor and very lightweight. Coupled to a magnetic loop or other antenna, you virtually have all of the capability of your shack, when travelling. A brilliant opportunity to DX from another location/country with two very high specification receivers. The latest version of SDRuno (V1.23) is superb and although optimised for a large computer screen, it can be made to work on a small laptop such as my Lenovo ultrabook. Highly recommend the RSPduo to anyone wanting a top notch SDR at a modest price.
