> 24 hourIve purchased five of these over time. Only one died of natural causes. I believe it was heat, but it could have been due to my use case. Overall, works perfectly with little to no drift. Just buy it.

> 24 hourVery good looking unit. Good luck making the software work. I finally got Airspy to work with it. Took days to figure it out and I am a retired computer tech.

> 24 hourWhen received, one of the two units i orered was inoperable. I opened it up and found L4; part of the input power filter to the RTL2838 , missing. One solder pad showed signs of minor solder with the outine of where L4 may have been, the opposite end showed no sign of solder. I took the inductor off an old dvb rtl dongle i had and repaired the unit. Once working i couldnt be more pleased. Much better stability and sensitivity than my old dvb dongle. The units both are perfectly on frequency with no correction factor needed. After running for 8 straight hours, still perfectly on frequency. Solidly built and the sma connector aids in solid connectivity.

> 24 hourI very much like this particular SDR. It is reliable, picks up quite a bit and has plenty of settings to adjust for the perfect signal reception. That being said I also purchased their e4000 based model and actually like it more for what I commonly do

> 24 hourHave it connected to my 160M Dipole antenna, 264 Ft long and has NO Receive qualities what so ever! Using with Airspy and HDR Sharp. Great programs that I used with the cheap NooElectric dongle that I broke. Thought Id pay a lil more and get this but VERY disappointed! Dont waste your $$$$

> 24 hourThe aluminum casing, power supply and the newer R820T2 tuner definitely keep the noise floor lower. The 0.5 PPM TCX Oscillator needs no frequency corrections at all in this RTL-SDR. This is my second radio but I will never buy the cheaper ones again and I may give away my older one and buy another SMArt V4 for use with my Ham It Up upconverter.

> 24 hourExcellent Item and appears to be up to NooElecs quality standards. Will research this and compare with my other R820T/T2 and E4000 tuners for my satellite projects.
