Airspy HF+ Discovery
A HF/VHF SDR with world class performance in the smallest form factor. The Airspy HF+ Discovery sets a new standard in terms of reception performance with extra pre-selectors for all the supported bands. With its world class strong signal handling capability and incredibly low noise, the HF+ Discovery is the ideal companion for all your high performance receive scenarios at a very affordable price.
Airspy R2, VHF UHF RX
The Airspy R2 for VHF and UHF offers a low-IF architecture based on Rafael Micro R820T2 and a high quality oversampling 12bit A/D converter. In oversampling mode, the Airspy R2 applies analog RF and IF filtering to the signal path and increases the resolution to up to 16-bit using software decimation.
Airspy Mini, VHF UHF RX
Very similar to the Airspy R2, but in an even smaller form factor.
