About this item
- An ultra-low noise software defined radio, capable of receiving nearly ANY RF signal from approximately 25MHz-1700MHz. Includes SDR, high-quality antenna base, and 3 antenna masts to get you started right away without any further purchases!
- Unmatched price & performance--redesigned PCB reduces noise by an average of a full 3dB! Includes all the same fantastic features as the rest of the NESDR SMArt series, including an ultra-low phase noise TCXO, with a guaranteed <0.5PPM tolerance out-of-the-box. This is at least 4x more accurate than units advertised as containing 1PPM TCXOs, which have up to a +/- 2PPM initial offset
- Same form factor as the other devices in our NESDR SMArt series, which means no USB occlusion issues--run devices side-by-side without messy extension cables or adapters, even on embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi!
- Always-on, 4.5V bias-tee with independent ultra-low-noise power supply and 250mA power capability allows you to power nearly any active antenna circuitry without messing around with drivers or software
- Designed and manufactured by Nooelec in North America. Impeccable quality and full 2-year warranty!

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

The replacement unit arrived and, so far, is working great.
*** UPDATE September 30, 2018 ***
My original review is below. After just 24 hours of use, the unit is causing problems. It keeps dying and hanging my computer. I called customer support and a return/refund is underway. I'm not yet giving up on this unit ... I have just repurchased, so we'll see how the replacement holds up!
My advice for anyone purchasing this device is to run it continuously for the first 24-48 hours (... just turn the volume down!) If there are going to be any hardware problems with your particular unit, they are likely to appear during this time and you can then simply do a return through Amazon.
_______________________________________________________________________________
I really just wanted stereo FM radio capability on my PC, so this purchase may have been a little overboard, for me. I do like not having to have a regular FM radio for entertainment! I also have a BT transmitter attached to my PC, so being able to transmit to the speakers in my kitchen is very handy.
After following the instructions, the device installed OK and was recognized by my Windows 7 PC. I settled on the SDR# (SDR Sharp) software. It can be a little overwhelming to someone not really into the hobbyist side of radio / SDR, as there are a lot of options. I fumbled through and managed to understand the features I wanted to use and reception is good where I am. (I'm actually using one of those square HDTV antennas with an adaptor on the cable).
SDR Sharp does not actually need to be "installed" on your computer, so it does not add anything to the Windows Registry. You just need a folder in which to unzip the software, then you add the DLL file for this specific device.
The user guide is sketchy and appears aimed at the radio enthusiast. The function of each of the options (the drop-downs, check boxes and buttons) on the interface screen should be explained. Also, there should be a way to minimalize the screen ... to remove the rolling graphic display, which would probably mostly not be needed for normal usage.
This unit gets hot when you have the software running and are receiving a signal. I have mine suspended by cable in mid-air. You would do best to run these units via an extension USB cable, just to keep the heat away from your computer's case and also, don't use these in an enclosed cabinet or place them on furniture for the same reason.
One of my Windows 7 updates knocked out the driver, so I had to re-install - something to keep in mind if you do a Windows update and your unit suddenly stops working.
I would recommend this unit to others, with just one reservation ... you'll need to hunt for things and if you are not a little computer-savvy, you might have issues getting the device to work on your computer.
Using my dipole intended for 10 meters yielded excellent FM radio clarity and overall better reception.
