> 3 dayExpect 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.

> 3 dayOther 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekUse this SDR for Radio sonde tracking with an external tower mounted vertical at 403 MHz. Works great!

> 3 dayThis 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 .

> 3 dayHave 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 $$$$

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayDark 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.
