I'm using the RSP1a, and I have two of them to cover more of the FM band. It's been fine for FM and 90% fine for MW/LW. RSP2 doesn't offer the width I need for FM. Elad or Perseus are out of the question cost-wise. I can only use MW/LW at our annual DXpedition due to proximity to strong locals, high noise level and terrible tree placement, so my primary use is FM.

It's better than the cheap 8 bit dongles but miles short of the Perseus, HF+ and Elad offerings. The RSP1A is better and might suffice for some DXers but still is not top of the line. The SDRUno software is fairly nice. The chief advantage if the RSPs is price. However, the HF+ is just a little more and is the best receiver out there in my mind. If it recorded the whole MW band and had a recording scheduler, it would have no serious holes.

If anyone has been using these, and would be interested in sharing their experiences and answering a couple of questions, please contact me off-list.
