Hi, everyone!
On the way is my new RSP1a, a purchase from vendor Ham Radio Outlet. USPS said delivery date Monday June 5, 2023. Mail usually runs in the morning hours. This will be my first SDRPlay product. I have ever only had RTL-SDR's. This will feel like a step-up from RTL-SDR but I do feel like keeping my RTL-SDR's.
I usually have decoders that run with RTL-SDR. Now I need to explore options for an ADS-B decoder that runs with RSP1a. I understand that DSD+ Fastlane and SDRTrunk are compatible. I already have both software. With the better performance of the RSP1a I expect decodes to be "fuller".
I also like shortwave listening and decoding a few modes as well. From what I am hearing, SDR Uno has plug-ins that comes from community. Perhaps some digital decoder plug-ins are available or maybe some standalone decoder that can interface with the RSP1a. I have yet to do that research.
For clean operation what should one be doing at the first run after receiving a RSP1a? Any firmware updates?
