    Expect any little movement or vibration to affect USB connection and require you to restart the software. Other than that, It receives well and I have finally found some software I like.

    Other than the getting the appropriate drivers installed (hard as Chinese math), its a very good product. The driver problem was my failure to read instructions properly on NooELCs web site. My bad. The stick works very well. Sensitivity level is outstanding and doesnt drift. I have always had great success with NooElec products and HIGHLY recommend the company and this Premium RTL-SDR stick to you.

    I couldnt wait to try this. Bought the hookup cable for my usbc port, the antenna, and downloaded SDR driver, and RF analyzer. Got nothing but noise. And Im in a great radio area. Not even FM. Before giving up, I tried it on my windows 11 computer. But absolutely nothing.

    Use this SDR for Radio sonde tracking with an external tower mounted vertical at 403 MHz. Works great!

    Looked like it was used and was wrong version. Spend money on SDRPlay

    This is a very complex device . Unless you have computer programming experience , or you are very tech savy , it will be very difficult to install and use this device . If it is not installed properly you can damage your computer . But if you have the technical expertise to install and find the downloads required, then maybe it will work .

    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 $$$$

    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.

    Dark color makes it easy to overlook when packing up at the end of an event. I wish I knew where mine went -sigh- time to order another.

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
