There is much controversy over this SDR project. Here is an unboxing and first power-on of my Recent RS-918 HF SDR Transceiver. The RS-918 is a fully assembled clone of the mcHF SDR project by M0NKA.
What is the Recent RS-918 HF SDR?
The RS-918 HF SDR is a portable software-defined radio (SDR) transceiver designed for amateur radio and shortwave listening. It covers a frequency range of 0.5 MHz to 30 MHz and features a built-in battery and a 3.5-inch color touchscreen display for easy operation.
The radio uses digital signal processing (DSP) technology to offer advanced features such as noise reduction, digital filtering, and frequency shifting. It also has a built-in antenna tuner and supports various modulation modes, including single sideband (SSB), amplitude modulation (AM), and frequency modulation (FM). The RS-918 is popular among amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners for its compact size, affordability, and advanced features.
Is it a rip-off of the mcHF?
The RS-918 HF SDR is often compared to the mcHF SDR transceiver due to its similar appearance and functionality. However, it is not a direct ripoff of the mcHF, as it was developed independently by a Chinese manufacturer. The RS-918 has some similarities in terms of its design and functionality to the mcHF, but it also has some distinct differences, such as a larger display and built-in battery.
While some of the hardware and software components may be similar between the two radios, they are not identical, and the RS-918 has its own unique features and capabilities. It’s worth noting that the RS-918 is often sold at a lower price point than the mcHF, which has made it a popular option for those looking for an affordable portable SDR transceiver.
Watch out for many more videos on this radio it is amazing.
