The Silphase R1 SDR is scheduled to be a stand-alone, high-performance SDR receiver with a large screen and good-looking specifications. The receiver is portable and will measure 11.25×4.3×2.2in (285×110×55mm). Looks like the screen will be 5″ which should allow for a detailed spectrum viewing area. For detail, please have a look at the company’s website and product sheet at the URL below. The price is ($1199) (ca €1099) with no expected availability date at the time of this posting.  Watch this space….
