A very happy holiday season to all RSP users on behalf of SDRplay. The SDRplay technical support team will be available through the holiday period to provide support at this busy time.
As some of you may be aware, in common with other hardware manufacturers, SDRplay is experiencing significant problems with component availability and escalating price increases brought about by this year’s disruption to the global electronic component supply chain. In some cases they have had to make changes to the circuit board design to accommodate more costly and alternative sized components with identical characteristics. All this has had a knock-on effect causing production delays. This means that they will have no more RSP1A or RSPdx product available before February 2022. Currently SDRplay only have stock of the RSPduo.
Some of our resellers listed on http://www.sdrplay.com/distributors/ may still have stock all three RSP models, but many are now running out of both the RSP1A and the RSPdx.
Regarding the increased costs, so far SDRplay has absorbed them all, but this is not a sustainable position and reluctantly they will need to increase their prices in 2022 when they will increase by approximately 7% .
Best wishes and Happy Christmas, Jon
