    I was interested in the "SDRPlay Announcements", but after realizing that I would have to pick through 2 hours and 47 minutes (!!!!!) of British accented English that is difficult to understand, I decided that I had better things to do.

    If the announcement had been in text format, I would have taken 2 minutes or so to read it. Does anyone REALLY watch these entire videos?

    I probably miss a lot of good information because I won't watch the whole video. I'm interested in the sdrplay announcements too, but don't care to watch the video.

    Provide the text version. That I’ll read, long video, no way.

    I too prefer to read news items rather than video. It's likely quicker and easier to make the video and maybe more ego enhancing as weldl but it may be that they think hams can't or won't read print items, after all, when was the last time you saw a ham pick up the manual to the new rig before doing the first smoke test?

    Drumroll please....... The SDRPlay announcement begins at 1:39:00 in the podcast with the company’s history and the actual announcement is at 1:52:00. I accept donations in any form, checks, cash, money orders, bitcoin (whatever that is), ham radio gear, or pound sterling! (JUST KIDDING!) :Do_O

    FYI, it’s a new version of SDRUno that allows 3rd party plugins.

    What a let down!

    I was hoping they were going to announce a version of SDRUno that runs on Linux. THAT would be worth watching the long video for.

    Well, I listened further (it is quite long) and they did say version 2 of SDRUno would be cross platform, adding MacOS and Linux support.

    An auto mute function in sdruno like sdr console V3 has would be nice for those using the sdrplay with a transmitter. I'm probably in the minority but it's a nice feature.

    Thanks! It's so much easier, took a couple of minutes to read, instead of spending (wasting?) a few hours trying to extract a tiny snippet from a video that is way too long.
