Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 SDR - NESDR Smart HF/VHF/UHF (100kHz-1.75GHz) Software Defined Radio. Premium RTLSDR w/ 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input & Aluminum Enclosure. RTL2832U & R820T2 (R860)-Based Radio

Ive been using UniTrunker software with a cheaper receiver that had the RTL2832U & R820T Tuner. It worked, but drift corrections were massive, the receiver was easily overloaded, and sensitivity/selectivity was not up to par. This little NooElec receiver basically fixes all of those issues for just a few dollars more. Since it uses the same receiver and tuner, it was a simple drop in replacement of my other receiver. It took off and began working immediately. I track a VHF trunked P25 system that has simulcast issues from time to time. It can really whack the receivers while trying to listen to distant towers. I wont say this NooElec receiver is completely immune to the RF onslaught but it is heads and tails above slightly cheaper versions. I also attempted to listen to an adjoining state 800 P25 system. My old receiver would BARELY register a control channel while the NooElec, using same antenna and gain settings, is easily able to hold the tower and provide reliable decode over 60ish air miles. It also comes with a real connector!!!! Those infuriating MCX connectors so commonly seen are completely negated by the NooElec and its SMA connector. Overall, if your software requires a receiver with the RTL2832U & R820T Tuner, it is hard to beat the NooElec with radios even twice as expensive. Very happy with the upgrade.

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.

Works great - The product description did not say it needed an SMA male to SO239 connector to attach to my antennas that use PL259 connectors. Once I go that- the SDR worked great.

Works great!

as described, neat little receiver has many applications

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.

Set up was easy. Works as it should.

I purchased this product in order to try receiving satellite images from NOAA weather satellites. It worked incredibly well! I can also listen to amateur radio bands and FM radio. When paired with a program like SDR Sharp, the opportunities to use this product are boundless!

This is the one to get if you want to tinker with RTL SDR. Nice case for shielding , SMA connector, and dead-on frequency. Good price too.

It has the same images as other SDR’s with the same chipsets. Many optional filters and preselectors available.
