Expert Electronics ColibriNANO RF ADC 14-Bit 122.88Msps Direct Sampling SDR-based Receiver
The ColibriNANO opens new horizons for HF band enthusiasts, thanks to its 14-bit ADC, which provides a ~110 dB BDR and up to 3 MHz sample rate. A 0.5 ppm local oscillator gives the ColibriNANO a great frequency stability. Using the ColibriNANO remotely, in some rural area will give you the lowest air noise you've ever seen while won't rob you from any comfort or functionality. The ColibriNANO operated by our own ExpertSDR2 software and compatible with popular HAM software such as HDSDR, SDRSharp via the ExtIO library.
Capabilities:
Direct connection with your laptop
Remote operation
Remote connection with a local transceiver
Spectrum analyzer
System Requirements:
2 or 4 core CPU Intel Core i3 or Core i5;
8 GB RAM;
40 GB free space on the HDD/SSD for the ExpertSDR2 and accompanied programs;
