Bought one, slow postal method. Fingers crossed no extras to pay on receipt here in the UK. Probably find out in about 5 weeks I would guess.

"Black Friday" Airspy HF+ arrived today, 3 weeks 3 days after order. 95 GBP delivered. No extras to pay to receive. Seems to have travelled to me via Netherlands for some reason. Anyway, very happy with the deal.

Quick listen at LF, MF and HF shows my Hermes Lite 2 to be superior as on the HF+ I see a few images on the HF+ not there on the Hermes, but it's direct sampling versus analogue front end so not really a fair test I guess, and I do have a fairly potent MF station on several channels only a short distance away from me. VLF, not so sure and that's what I primarily bought for. I suspect the HF+ will be superior there. We shall see. Unfair to judge really after a five minute test. It's still  impressive in anyone's book. Truly astonishing performance in such a tiny package compared to anything available even just 5 years ago. Feels much more capable than my RSP2Pro but then again the RSP has much wider bandwidth and VHF/UHF/SHF frequency coverage so it too has its place.

What astonishes me is the tiny size. Knew it was small but didn't realise just how small, I guess half the size of a pack of cigarettes and half the depth too. Tiny. If nothing else it's fantastic to put in pocket if travelling.
