Thank you to BG7BAG for writing in and sharing a free user guide for SDRconnect, SDRplay's multi-platform software for their RSP series of SDRs, which we've covered several times before. SDRplay only provides a "Quick Start" guide and a few application notes for SDRconnect, so BG7BAG wrote a full manual from scratch, based on daily use with an RSPdx-R2.

The guide is written side by side in English and Chinese, with a shared glossary of SDRconnect's interface terms, so it may be most useful to Chinese-speaking SDRplay users, for whom there is no official manual. It is based on SDRconnect V1.0.10 and includes a quick start section, a 22-chapter manual covering topics like remote operation, troubleshooting and PPM calibration, and an advanced guide on HDR mode, notch filtering, IQ recording and scheduling. 

BG7BAG also shared his HAM Radio Atlas, a free map of over 12,000 amateur radio repeaters on the 2m, 1.25m and 70cm bands, searchable by location, callsign and band. Repeater data currently covers the USA (26 states), Australia, China, Austria and New Zealand, with a province-by-province list for mainland China.

At the beginning of November, SDRplay Released version 5 of their SDRconnect software. SDRconnect is a relatively new official software platform for the SDRplay line of devices. Unlike their other software, SDRUno, SDRconnect is multiplatform and comes with a cleaner interface.

In their latest 'Preview 5' build the team has added various features listed below. In addition, a week after Preview 5 was released, they also released 'Update 1' which fixed several bugs. You can read about the changes in their Release notes, or via the screenshot below.
