Meet the Scout-SDR a compact HF/VHF SDR radio built for field use and bench work.
This handheld receiver is powered by an ESP32‑S3 and a bright 1.9” IPS color display (170×320), giving you a clear view of frequency, mode, and signal info in any lighting.
It uses an SI4732 DSP chip and covers HF, SW, MW, and VHF bands with support for AM, FM, LSB, and USB modes. A portable 70 cm whip antenna is included so you can start listening right away.
Power comes from a built‑in 800 mAh rechargeable battery, giving around 10+ hours of runtime depending on volume and backlight. Charging is via USB‑C (Type‑C), using standard 5V chargers (no fast‑charge support).
Audio is available through the built‑in speaker or a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack.
The radio comes in a rugged aluminum alloy shell with a compact footprint that fits easily in a pocket or pack.
