NooElec RTL-SDR v5 Bundle: Smart HF/VHF/UHF Software Defined Radio with Premium Features and Antennas

About this item

• Your purchase includes a NESDR SMArt v5 RTL-SDR, a magnetic antenna base with a 2m (6.5') RG-58 feed cable, and 3 different antenna masts for UHF and VHF operation, including a variable-frequency telescopic antenna
• Proudly built by Nooelec in the USA and Canada! Full 2-year product warranty and product support through our support portal at https//support.nooelec.com
• Full datasheet available: https://www.nooelec.com/datasheets/100700
• 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)
• 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
• The NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR v5 is capable of receiving a variety of signals, including AM and FM broadcast radio, shortwave transmissions, CB communications, public safety channels, trunked radio systems, air traffic control communications, and ACARS for airline ground interactions. It can also track aircraft using ADS-B, monitor maritime activities through AIS, receive pager signals via POCSAG, and access weather satellite data from NOAA and GOES. Additionally, it can pick up signals from weather balloons, radiosondes, DAB radio, DVB-T video broadcasts, as well as communication from Inmarsat and Iridium, among many other applications!
• Though the direct sampling implementation of NESDR SMArt v5 is much better than any other RTL-SDR, we still recommend using an upconverter like the Ham It Up for a more fulfilling HF experience (sold separately, product ID B076CYK8XZ)
• 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
