HydraSDR RFOne is an open-source software defined radio receiver capable of sampling 10MHz of spectrum between 24 MHz to 1.8 GHz with extension capabilities for even broader coverage.
It delivers lab grade performance in a compact 54x49x32mm enclosure and is suitable for direction finding, radar experiments, and multi-receiver scanning systems. Enclosure supports up to three receiver boards for phase-coherent multi-channel operation.
Manufactured in the United States.
