The April 2025 edition of Practical Wireless has a review of the nRSP-ST:

The article is descriptively headlined “The Sharing Machine”

In the review on pages 16-19,  Georg Wiessala puts the nRSP-ST through its paces and comments “The new nRSP-ST is a gamechanger, a milestone… it makes a substantial addition to the funtionality of your shack, if you wish to make use of the networking facilities and the built-in web server… in the context of the radio hobby, this is indeed groundbreaking and a big leap forward”

The March 2025 edition of Spectrum Monitor Magazine  is out and Georg Wiessala has written this in-depth review of the nRSP-ST (see pages 32-26)

In it, Georg writes “In my view, this receiver beats any homebrew, web-based or Raspberry Pi related construction solution hands-down – in terms of the signal range it covers, its ease of use, shielding and construction, openness to experimentation and radio education, and the expected future developments. You will need a rudimentary understanding of PCs, the internet, routers and networks, but will not need a PhD in Computer Science to operate this radio. Highly recommended. “

Steve tests the nRSP-ST and comments that “it marries a high performance SDR receiver with a built in computer to give fully-networked access to the receiver” and goes on to say “the nRSP-ST is a novel device which enables you to monitor the bands while sitting in your lounge as well as from anywhere else”.  Click on the picture to download the full article

In this article aimed at newcomers to SDRs for shortwave radio listening, the RSP1B is reviewed – the author says “the RSP1B is so reasonably priced and so easy to use” – the article can be foun on page 16 (18) in the link below:

Practical Wireless features the RSP1B on the front page of the June 2024 edition:

Georg Wiessala test drives the RSP1B and concludes “I found the new RSP1B to be much more than a repurposed version of the RSP1A in new clothes. In my view, this receiver is significantly superior to the RSP1A in almost all areas I tested. This new contender on the SDR block can be very warmly recommended. It represents a good choice for the SDR novice, as well as the budget-conscious radio enthusiast or DXer in the SDR field.”
