[amsat-bb] SDR Play [ NEW SDR RECEIVER. 2 GHz, 8MHz bandwidth under $300 USD ]

[Thomas Doyle]

Hey Les,

Thanks for the post  - this looks great. I believe the feq coverage is 100
KHz to 2GHz. The 10 bit converters for an 8Mhz bandwidth is an excellent
trade off. It appears to have built in RF filtering broken in to 8 bands.
Another great product from the UK.
