It seems that the unit comes preloaded with the rtl_tcp software installed, making it almost plug and play. This allows you to easily get set up with rtl_tcp for streaming the radio over your network, or the internet. Instead, its defining feature is that it is built together which what we assume is a Linux enabled wireless router, or some other networked single board PC. The Soft66IP appears to have the same specifications at the Soft66Q except without the additional preselection filter. Now JA7TDO has managed to come out with a new modified RTL-SDR which he calls the Soft66IP. Both units come with a preselection filter for the HF bands. To receive HF the Soft66RTL used an upconverter circuit and the newer Soft66Q uses an implementation of the direct sampling mod. Previously from JA7TDO who is a RTL-SDR builder in Japan we’d seen the Soft66RTL and Soft66Q which are both modified RTL-SDR units that are capable of receiving HF as well.
