The device consists of a thick aluminium cooling fin profile housing (anodized). The RF connections are designed in the widely used BNC standard, VHF and GPS in SMA standard. Power is supplied via a standard hollow pin socket with 9 ... 15 V DC. It can also be supplied via USB-C Power Delivery.
The RSR200 possesses two high-speed interfaces (USB 3.0 and 1 GBit SFP-LAN) for data transmission to 1 or 2 PCs. Each interface can provide data for two channels / SDR programs. Thanks to its two independent 16 bit ADC, very good reception performance is ensured. All RF inputs can remotely feed active antennas and remotely control RLA4, RFA2 as well as RAP1.
The RSR200 is operated using an Ext-IO.DLL in conjunction with suitable SDR programs (e.g. HDSDR or SoDiRa). The DLL supports all necessary functions according to the Alberto di Bene quasi-standard. Special functions of the RSR200 (e.g. antenna diversity) are integrated directly into the hardware and are made available via a separate user interface.
Special SDR programs are supported to the extent that their programmers have integrated the standard Ext-IO commands (option to load independent DLL files) or the RSR200 directly.
The RSR200 will be in series production from January 2025.
