Audio sounds nice. Amazed me modern day radio after my days of superhets and xtal filters and a BFO. . I built a SDR a few years ago , was impressed. Only SDR I have now is the G90. I do have RTL devices as well. It's far superior to what I was raised on. Thanks again for review.
That bandwidth is nuts!…thanks for sharing.
I had one but after 2 weeks it died so bit reticent to buy another. Maybe I was just unlucky but you need a fairly beefy pc to run 64 Mhz of bandwidth of course !
Can You Please Send Me The Bad One? I Could Try To Fix It And Use It, I Have No Money To Buy Myself One :(
@@frequencywatchersthis was a few years ago and of course I sent it back for a refund. It won't be much good unless you have a fast pc
I had one that died as well after a few weeks. Someone mentioned that they are using repurposed LTC2208s in them (used parts?). Anyway if you have one of the 888s put a fan constantlly blowing on it
@@cheesedoodlefeeder ah hmm did you buy another and did it last longer ?
wow, this is crazy. the audio sounds great.
I hope that there will be a version that has 4 receivers that run a single clock source, and contains internal calibration hardware to allow the phase relationship between channels to be measured precisely and corrected for. One can then use it for Radio Direction Finding.
I will never be able to retire at this rate.
Damn you Tech Minds 😁
Me neither
Crazy beautiful.. 60MHz on the lower frequency is insanely beautiful ♥️
Already on my radar to buy it..
Very exciting, a video that also provides detailed information about the antenna you use for beginners would be very useful. Best regards
Could be a game changer for monitoring ALE, HFDL and similar.
Decoding software which directly control the radio would be preferable, otherwise setting up lots of virtual audio cables would be very time consuming.
Your antenna appears to work really well. How high is it and how long is the wire
Luckily I recently made a video on the Antenna I am currently using: ua-cam.com/video/p0s2rEcDiLs/v-deo.html
Bloody hell! I want one!
Looks useful for ALE!
Why are there 2 batches sold?
One for €330-400 and
the other for €188 !??
Lol I thought you knew about this a year ago. I'm not a content maker but a year go when i got mine i felt compelled to get the message out on this amazing ability so i put up some short videos of my own.
I'm wondering when you discover the multiple receivers at once feature :)
I did know about it back then, but only just got round to making a video on it lol..
Comparison with Airspy HF+ discovery would be good
The Airspy is better for everything but bandwidth. So YMMV depending on what you need.
It's possible to record IQ file of all the bandwidth at the same time????
What specs does your computer have to be to do all this?
Does it work with OpenWebRX ? What about CPU power required (raspberry pi 4) ?
Does this work with Linux?
what antenna(s) would you recommend to exploit the RX888 Mk2
Fan Dipole or Log periodic.
For LF, MF and HF, use the excellent MLA-30+ Active Mag Loop antenna.
What about a proper professional operating system? Have you got it working under Linux?
Pfft, that's nowt new, The Fidelity 1000 and Binatone Route 66 were capable of receiving all HF bands more than 40 years ago.
Oooohhh Cybernet for the win!
Tx ? 😂
Sad That I Have Only WIndows 7 And Android Devices, My PC Software Doesnt Allow Me To Instal Windows 10 Or 11 But my PC Is A BEAST Of AA Computer, But DAMN YOU MICROSOFT, Canceling Updates And Firmware Updates On Systems, You Make Poor People Buy Unneceserry Things, Now I Need To Buy A New hardware To Just Use My Devices OR To get Any Softwares, So So Sad Because I DONTT AHVE ANY MONEY, All I Have Is 120 Euros A Month For My Disability, I Cant Work because Im Disabled, I Try ToW ork From My Computer And Then This Hapens, Im Now Drowning In Dept And Some Days I DonT Even Have Food To Eat Because Microsoft Changed That Updates, NO Program is Now Running On Windows 7 Because Of That :( Damnit
Very interesting to see this capability on some "entry level" SDRs.
I have only seen this done on some much higher end hardware before.
For example the AARONIA Spectran analyzers come with a very similar feature (with much greater bandwith and much faster sweeps) and a really nice "wrapped spectrum" feature that offer a very similar layout.
Software support for this one is abysmal.
SDR++ support when
Any idea what would be involved in making one of these available to one of the “web sdr” networks?
Great video!
this would be interesting but doubt you would be able to do the full bandwidth
Low pass filter needed. I will keep my Airspy HF+ discovery for now.
after your first video i bought one. fought with it for about 6 months thinking my amd 8 core and gtx1080ti would be enough. it wasnt. went and bought a 500 dollar laptop and it fixed all my stutter. on the old desktop with 32gb of ram i couldnt do more then 1mhz of bandwidth.
Was it a resource issue or something else? 8 cores and a 1080ti wasn't enough?!?
@@token112 8 cores of some ancient Sempron maybe weren't enough. :D But it really makes me wonder... My 13yo Sandy Bridge dual-core i3 can handle 14 MSps...
Does anybody know if you can use the H and V ports simultaneously to monitor parts of the hf and vhf bands at the same time?
How does sensitivity and noise compare to other similar SDR receivers?
This is AWESOME! I’m planning a receive only antenna…. This excites my interest…. Oh no I’m gonna spend more money!!!
how much ram/cpu speed is your computer?
i9-14900KF, 32GB DDR5 Ram and a RTX4090 GPU
@@TechMindsOfficial That’s a lot better than what I’m running 😅
my pre-raedon fx-8300 gtx-1050ti 32gb or an hp 360 i5 with ibm gpu did not like it and had major stutter. ended up buying a asus rog laptop with rtx gpu and i7 processor. and it runs fine on my hp 14-ep0063c1 laptop that has 12gb ram an i3 and ibm gpu.

Another excellent informative video Mat.
CPU Intel Core i7 7700HQ @ 2.80GHz

I hope this will enough. RX888 Mk2 on order. I have a USB 3 Multihub with 45w power, I'll have to unplug all the other SDRs from it though.....
After watching I purchased an RX-888 MK 2. In the radio options I do not have a 64 Mhz bandwidth option 32 is the highest value that shows up. Am I missing something ?
I had the same problem and I didn't understand this part 3:10. I couldn't find the radio options but then I realised it only shows up in the left had panel when the radio in started.
I think OpenWebRX is the only thing I know of that can auto hoover up a bunch of digital signals across a wide bandwidth without needing a million virtual audio cables. I wonder if it supports this unit.
This is a big question: when OPenWebRx(+) will support this device.
Wow, that's CRAZY! Could you RECORD the entire MW, HF band, etc all at once? How about sending a portion to text to speech, and recording that as a word file? You could look for key words then! Like I'm guessing "Nobody Special Around" does... Your own bloody Pocket Echelon!🤣 73 DE W8LV BILL
What's the difference between this MK2 & the one you did a year ago?
None, but I wasn’t able to show 64 MHz bandwidth in my last video, but now I can, so I did. Cheers
This could be very useful, thanks for the video.
You're welcome
Nike bit of kit there
It's pretty darn good!
WOW 64mHz- impressive, my SDRDuo is good for 10mHz. However I wonder how will the RX-88 stacks up against the SDRDuo in terms of other measures.
no linux softw that works with the RX888 Mk2🤔
Looks really cool but the price will keep me without it.
Parabéns mais uma vez superando as novidades...top 73´s py3sa.
I have a KiwiSDR, this one looks great. Thanks for the coupon.
No problem 👍
Interesting, thanks for reviewing this! I’m waiting for reviews of Rig Experts’ “Fobos SDR” before I buy any “all HF” SDR. It’s scheduled to become available in July and, while more expensive, I’m guessing it’s designed and built with much more care. Not to mention that I’d rather support a Ukrainian company than one in China.
That radio seems to be a crossover of the rx888 series recivers and hackrf.
I imagine that might be a little preoccupied with a war
@@senoJSR What do you mean? There are millions of people in Ukraine who still work their normal job every day.
@@AdrianBoykoyes if you look at olga Reznikova's clips you'd think there wasn't any war especially in Kiev
@@senoJSR only 20% of Ukraine are after by actual Military Operations.
Forced conscription is affecting more people than actual battles.
That's t the main reason so many left the country to get 3-4x their monthly wages in refugee payments.
Nice!
Doing this or similar 40 years ago with panoramic adapter on a general coverage RX. .ok it's inferior compared to this. But it worked. As I said not as good. That certainly looks good.
Simon Brown is The Man!
Absolutely!
Nice find. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Oppse My finger slipped on the Buy button With Intension to Buy Now
Be a nice Addition to the SDR Play RSP2
Been Wanting A SDR That CAN SEE EVERYTHING in one go
Hi Mat, great device for it's price !! 73 Phil ON4VP
its a junk box
No, dynamic range will be useless.
@@RoelandJansen Not at all; I've owned two of these and each performed excellently with active (gain) loops such as the Wellbrook ALA100 and ALA1530, and passive antennas in a suburban Seattle environment (e.g., lots of RF around). The RX888 MKii SDR has the same LTC2208 ADC chip inside as the highly regarded WinRadio G33DDC Excalibur. The dynamic range is similar in these two SDRs. The main difference is that the RX888 MKii offloads the bulk of the DSP processing to your computer. That is a primary reason for the price difference between the two. I've used the G33DDC (a friend's) with the same antennas and found the two comparable on MW and HF. Bottom line-- dynamic range is not a problem for the RX888 MKii. It holds its own against my Perseus receiver also.
@@4nradio782 Geez 782 . Stop supplying facts ,and let the experts above, tell us ,without any experience of using the device, how poorly the device will perform please.
@@RoelandJansen It should have a decent dynamic range for most instances. What do you expect at this price?
@@4nradio782 your standard is low I assume.
this is awesome
Sir can you show your antenna and tuner configurations for this rig please?
Luckily I recently made a video on the Antenna I am currently using: ua-cam.com/video/p0s2rEcDiLs/v-deo.html
great, now the timid can watch everything and never call cq
