    Ive 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.

    Very 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.

    When 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.

    I 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

    Have 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 $$$$

    Just getting started with it but looks like a great SDR

    The 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.

    Excellent 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.

    great form factor

This premium RTL-SDR was designed, developed and fabricated by Nooelec in the USA and Canada. It allows you to turn your computer, phone or tablet into a radio scanner/ham radio receiver that can receive nearly all RF signals! Compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Android.

The best-performing low-cost RTL-SDR available anywhere! Compared with RTL-SDR v3, HF SNR is improved by up to 15dB, VHF & UHF SNR is improved by up to 6dB, tuning accuracy is improved by an average of 4x, and the frequency range is expanded all the way down to 100kHz

v5 has a frequency capability of 100kHz to 1.75GHz and up to 3.2MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. HF reception below 25MHz is accomplished with direct sampling and requires a suitable antenna. We recommend using a Balun One Nine to make a DIY long wire or dipole antenna (sold separately, product ID B08HGSYB7R or B00R09WHT6)

With a much narrower form factor than RTL-SDR v3, you can run multiple NESDR SMArt v5 side-by-side with any USB-compliant device, including tightly-spaced embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi
