This page is reserved for SDRs that receive (but don't transmit on) the HF spectrum (min. 2-30 Mhz). They may also include coverage of other bands, such as FM broadcast, aircraft or other frequency ranges.

Please add any additional links, reviews and mailing lists for receive-only SDRs here. Links for SDR based transceivers should go to our SDRs for Amateur Radio Use or Professional SDRs articles as appropriate.
