PLATH SIR 511X

PLATH SIR 5110 & 5115 HF

Info

Airspy is a line of popular Software-Defined Radio (SDR) receivers developed to achieve high performance and affordable price. The goal is to satisfy the most demanding telecommunications professionals and radio enthusiasts while being a serious alternative to both cost sensitive and higher end receivers. The receivers can bee used with go2MONITOR, SDR-Console or SDR#.
SDR# contains also SPY Server an application for remote SDR operation

SIR 5110 & 5115 HF

The SIR 5110 is a digital wideband monitoring receiver covering 0.5 to 30 MHz using direct sampling. The receiver provides a coherent digital bandwidth of 12.288 MHz which can be used in one block or in freely distributed subchannels over the entire frequency range. With its excellent technical specifications, the SIR 5110 allows simultaneously interception of multiple bands at the same time - thereby replacing multiple normal receivers. The SIR 5110 competes effectively with dedicated narrowband receivers and has some of the best technical features of any digital wideband receiver.

The SIR 5115 is a digital wideband monitoring receiver covering 0.5 to 30 MHz using direct sampling. The receiver provides a coherent bandwidth of 29.5 MHz. With exceptional technical specifications, the SIR 5115 allows simultaneously interception of entire bands at the same time - thereby replacing multiple normal receivers. The SIR 5115 is the answer to the ever-growing need for fully automated HF COMINT systems.
