My Comments:
Of course, I believe this is a very good move for SDRplay. Studio 1 is a very well-respected application and, though I’ve never tested it myself, I’m very impressed with it’s interface. I’ve also received many positive comments about Studio 1 from Perseus owners.
This will give SDRplay a great platform to have native SDR applications for their current and future products. I’m sure they’ll continue to support and develop Studio 1 for all of its supported receivers:
- The Elad FDM-S1, FDM-S2
- Microtelecom Perseus
- PMSDR
- RFspace SDR-IQ, SDR-14
- SRL QS1R
- Funcube Dongle
