It looks like a really nice affordable entry point into the midrange SDR market . It ' s a big step up from the dongles but still within the toy budget for a lot of people who can ' t justify $ 500 $ 1000 for the next grade up . I ' ve had a 12 bit AFEDRI for a few years and it ' s great , no complaints at all . I ' ve never noticed any problems with it that can ' t be solved by turning the front end gain down a little but that ' s hardly ever needed . I haven ' t used the 12 bit Mirics chips but hopefully they ' re as good , if so it will be a nice radio . I ' ve been thinking about the RSP 1 to take traveling as it now works with SDR touch and I could just plug it into my phone or table . <| sep |> All the reason he won ' t be tabbed .
