About SDRuno
SDRuno was SDRplay's own receiver software for its RSP family of software-defined radios. It ran on Windows and gave owners a spectrum display and waterfall, many demodulation modes, multiple virtual receivers within the captured bandwidth, memory panels and scanning. Its plugin system added extras such as an ADS-B aircraft decoder. It was free for use with SDRplay hardware and was the default choice for RSP owners for years. SDRplay has now declared SDRuno end-of-life. The last installer, the user manual and the plugin packs are still downloadable, but the company's current software is SDRconnect, which runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Existing users can keep using SDRuno, but they shouldn't expect fixes or support for new hardware. Anyone starting fresh with an RSP should use SDRconnect or a third-party program such as SDR++ or SDR#.
Best for: Existing SDRplay owners on Windows who rely on SDRuno plugins or workflows.
