Description:
This is for RTL-SDR blog software set radio receiver with RTL2832U ADC chip, R820T2 tuner, 1ppm TCXO, SMA F connector and passively cooled aluminum case. Tunes from 500khz to 1.7ghz with up to 3.2mhz (2.4mhz stable) of bandwidth. (Hf works in direct sampling mode). Perfect for use as a computer based radio scanner with free software like SDR #, HDSDR, SDR-Radio, GQRX or SDR touch on android. Works for  Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and computers like Raspberry Pi.
 
Applications:
It is great for many applications. Perfect for general radio scanning, air traffic control, public safety radio, ADSB, AIS, ACARS, VDL2, trunked radio, P25/DMR digital voice, TETRA, POCSAG, weather balloons, APRS, NOAA APT or METEOR M2 weather satellites, Outernet, Inmarsat, Iridium, GSM, Milsatcom, radio astronomy, meteor scatter monitoring, DAB, or for use as a low cost panadapter with a traditional ham radio.
 
The Dipole antenna kit is perfect for helping beginners get great reception. The short antennas are great for ADS-B, and the longer antennas work well at the lower frequencies. When used in a V-Dipole configuration the antenna is an excellent option for 137 MHz satellites such as NOAA/Meteor M2 weather and the ISS. In the vertical configuration it is great for terrestrial signals. The two mounts allow you to easily mount the antenna outdoors for best reception. Please note that you should not use the antenna permanently outdoors or during bad weather. It is designed for portable temporary outdoor use. For using custom antennas note that this dongle has an SMA F connector (not RP-SMA).

This model has several key improvements over other models. It uses the improved R820T2 tuner, has a 1PPM TCXO (2 PPM initial offset, 1 PPM temperature drift), has improved component tolerances and an SMA F connector. It also comes with a software activatable bias-tee circuit for powering external devices such as LNA's and active antennas. It also has HF reception capabilities. Most standard RTL-SDR dongles can tune down to 24 MHz at the lowest. This model has hardware that unlocks the "direct sampling mode", and allows for tuning down to 500 kHz. There is a built in 25 MHz low pass filter for optimizing this mode.

Various other improvements over other models have also been applied. For example a choke has been added on the USB line and additional bypass capacitors and power line ferrites have been added for reduced internal & PC noise, the PCB has been redesigned for significantly lower noise performance, ESD protection has been improved, the front end circuit has been optimized for wideband use (other models are still optimized for DVB-T frequencies), the LDO has been upgraded, and several break out pads have been added for advanced users.

Requires USB 2.0 (works on most USB 3.0 ports, but we cannot guarantee it to work on all so please ensure your PC has a USB 2.0 port just in case). Installation on system for Windows is simple.
