But it is still difficult to get. Georgy Yatsuk (RX9CIM) developed this small portable SDR with two of his colleagues. What this little guy offers is simply phenomenal! -Frequency range: 50KHz-2GHz -All important types of operation -160KHz wide waterfall &amp; spectrum display zoomable -Noise reduction adjustable -Noiseblanker adjustable -Equalizer for adjusting the timbre &#8211; Controllable via PC -Control via CAT -etc, etc &#8230; Because the firmware is still in full development, certain functions will definitely be added. A test and a detailed presentation will be available on my website in the near future.
