Description
SDRplay nRSP-ST all in one, plug and play network receiver, 1kHz-2GHz
A truly “plug and play” integrated, networked general coverage receiver, combines a receiver, a host computer and a whole lot more – all in one box! Apply power and connect to the internet (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and the SDRplay nRSP-ST is automatically accessible from anywhere. This exciting new product addresses the needs of radio enthusiasts who want a ‘plug-and-play’ solution for remote reception. As well as achieving this, SDRplay has addressed typical internet bandwidth limitations with the creation of a novel “IQ Lite” mode, which efficiently delivers channels of IQ data. They have also introduced the ability to control and store IQ recordings at the remote location. The nRSP-ST will be ideal for anyone wanting a wideband remote receiver without needing computer skills and hours of set-up time and ongoing maintenance at the remote location.
The SDRPlay nRSP-ST key features:
- The 14-bit ADC full featured wideband SDR receiver covers all frequencies from 1kHz through VLF, LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2GHz, with no gaps
- Remotely monitor up to 10MHz of spectrum at a time from a choice of 3 antennas
- Multi-platform SDRconnectTM software supports local operation or remote access on Windows, MacOS or Linux platforms
- The nRSP-ST & SDRconnectTM are configurable for available network bandwidth:
- In “Full IQ” mode, the nRSP-ST provides IQ data transfer of the visible spectrum bandwidth (e.g. for high-speed LAN or superfast internet connectivity)
- In “IQ Lite” mode, the nRSP-ST provides IQ data of channels up to 192kHz wide (e.g. for digital decoding by the client)
- In “Compact” mode the nRSP-ST provides compressed audio (ideal for slower internet connections)
- Supports multiple client connections with a simultaneous mixture of connection modes
- All modes support visualization of up to 10MHz spectrum bandwidth
- Two remote connection options:
- Use a remote SDRconnect client or
- Use the built-in web-server for remote access from any web browsing capable device, including Android/iOS tablets and phones
- The nRSP-ST offers the ability to record IQ and audio files to a NAS (network attached storage) device if available on the LAN.
- Flash upgradable for future feature enhancements
- SDRconnect for web browsers (e.g. including iOS & Android)
- Mixture of SDRconnect web browsers and regular SDRconnect clients

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
SDR radios have no control panel, therefore manufacturers do not supply a user manual. Our company only sells SDR hardware; operation of these devices requires various software that you can download from the internet. Most of these software products are only available for download in English from the websites of manufacturers and third-party developers (many of them radio amateurs) either for free or for a fee. Installation, setup and usage of the software require an intermediate level of proficiency in computing and the English language. We do not advise buying this equipment unless you are in possession of these required skills, and we highly recommend seeking assistance and prior information from other radio hams on internet-based forums and user groups.
For SDRplay products, we recommend you to purchase the USB printer cable that we sell. Other USB cables may generate a lot of electromagnetic noise which may interfere with reception.
