“RSP1A” Clone<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Paul Rawdon, who writes:<\/p>\n

Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

I was browsing through AliExpress and came across a cloned version of the SDRplay RSP1A, the price being asked is slightly lower than the genuine version from SDRplay. I notified SDRplay of what I found. They pointed out that as it is a clone it is unlikely to work with any of their software.<\/p>\n

You may like to notify readers of this because it really amounts to a scam.<\/p>\n

The AliExpress advert can be seen here:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I do own the genuine RSP1A and yes it lives up to the positive reviews<\/a> out in internet land.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the work you put in to SWLing.com there\u2019s always something interesting to read.<\/p>\n

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Paul! Yes, this is a blatant fake RSP1A clone and, as you say, only a few dollars cheaper than the real thing. I suppose the manufacturer is simply hoping the buyer doesn’t realize it’s fake.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in purchasing an SDRplay product, go directly to their website and purchase from an authorized distributor<\/a>. Not only will it carry a warranty, but you’ll know it will work with SDRplay’s SDRuno app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
