outgoing SDR model from official SDRPlay distributor, used to be $275. It is almost same as new RSP1B model, which has a metallic case but costs $349.
10 MHz bandwidth, 1kHz to 2 GHz range. Made in the UK.

SDRplay provide plenty of support IF you need it. Only other consideration is both the RSP1B and RSP1A only have 1 antenna port, hence why I went with the RSPdx
my bad, I remember the price was higher from UK.
I haven't heard of this, thanks OP. What a nice bit of kit.
My DSO goes up to 500 MHz, this'd be handy for above that. Looks like a bloke has made a great looking spectrum analyser for it too:

And he has info on making a tracking generator which would mean you could set up a bit of a VNA, but up to 600 MHz. I've been meaning to get a LibreVNA for my work as I work with higher freqs but this is still great stuff for the price!
I have an RTL-SDR which I was playing with for a while, but now it's permanently hooked up to an ODROID (RPi alternative) as a flightradar24.com feed.
Thanks for the link. I had an AD9850 which is also used in that project. I built a function generator and oscilloscope with AD5932, though that was more than a decade ago.
One of my friends recently got a LibreVNA, which looks great, and I believe it can go up to 6 GHz. My RTLSDR is hooked to my HA VM, running rtl_433 for 433 MHz temperature sensors.
$259 delivered to Brisbane. Just for comparison, the RSP1B is US$152.93 (~AUD$244) delivered from SDRPlay on a website that looks like it was written in notepad. No local support though.
