A PC with Windows 7, Windows 8/ 8.1, Windows 10 64-bit operating system and a USB 3.0 connection is required for operation of the RSA306. 8 GB RAM and 20 GB free drive space is required for installation of SignalVu-PC.  For full performance of the real time features of the RSA306, an Intel i7 4 th generation processor is required.  Storage of streaming data requires that the PC be equipped with a drive capable of streaming storage rates of 300 MB/sec, which is only possible with solid state drives or arrays of spin drives Note: Processors of lower performance can be used, with reduced real time performance.  This means that the minimum signal duration for 100% probability of intercept will increase, and the performance of AM/FM demodulation and listening will be degraded.
