Following customer feedback and design work on our HF/VHF/UHF Multicoupler we have revised the SDR-4 and released the SDR-4+. This has a revised RF front end using a ultra high IP3 E-PHEMT RF amplifier, an IQ audio output to feed external sound cards and other revisions to improve RF performance, gain distribution, IQ balance and the SDR display.
The price of the revised SDR-4+ receiver is ?169.95 plus shipping. At current rates that’s $258.32 or 198.84 Euro.
