I got an RSP2 back when they were first announced, but I have had little success actually using it. Part of the problem is that I am not all that familiar with the software and the other part is that I really just don't like the software. It seems that it wasn't designed to do the kind of things I want to do. Anyway, I decided to have another go at the thing and hooked it up to my HP8924C to see if it actually receives. I attempted to measure the sensitivity of it and, after fooling with all the various controls, it seems the sensitivity is around a half of a microvolt for 12 dB SINAD at 915 MHz. I didn't try any other frequencies. The 900 MHz region is one of prime interest to me and if it doesn't perform there, I don't have a lot of use for it. I could actually manipulate the display to see the signal below where it became just noise in the headphones. That was mostly just for curiosity's sake since I need to actually get information from what I receive. I will try to measure some more frequencies tomorrow and try different software with it to see if that makes a difference.
