Tunes from 500 kHz to 1.766 GHz with up to 3.2 MHz (2.4 MHz stable) of bandwidth. Can be used with free software like SDR#, HDSDR, SDR-Radio, GQRX or SDR Touch on Android. Works on Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and computers like the Raspberry Pi. This model has several improvements over other brands. It uses the R828D tuner, a 1PPM TCXO, better components, has a built in HF upconverter, a redesigned lower noise PCB, cooling improvements, additional filtering, extra ESD protection and an SMA F connector. It also has a software activatable bias-tee for powering LNA's and active antennas. This is a bundle which includes the main dongle and also our multipurpose dipole antenna kit. The antenna kit is great for beginners as it allows for terrestrial and satellite reception. Easy to mount outdoors and designed for portable and temporary outside usage. Please do not use outside during poor weather conditions. Please remember this antenna is a beginner antenna, and for any particular band of interest you will need to use your own third party antenna to optimize reception. The dipole antenna is not sized for HF reception, only for VHF and UHF reception. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE RTL-SDR BLOG V4 REQUIRES A DRIVER UPDATE. Please follow the installation manual carefully!

Review: I find great value in my RTL-SDR Blog receiver, no disappointment with this quality hardware! - I bought RTL-SDR Blog receiver as an affordable intro to Software Defined Radio. - In my exploration of the hardware, I find capable electronics in a quality metal enclosure, for under $100 including antenna kit. This appeals to my sense of frugality as I can begin learning SDR basics with the affordable RTL-SDR Blog receiver. Affordability makes this receiver ideal for beginners learning SDR hardware and software. I recommend the kit antenna, which is worth the extra expense to quickly get started receiving signal. Also, the telescoping dipole antenna design makes it easy to adjust the length of the antenna to better receive specific frequencies. From my experience so far, I do recommend the RTL-SDR Blog receiver to novices entering the hobby, as well as anyone seeking affordable intro SDR equipment. This SDR receiver will likely require some time to learn the basics and configure to your needs. It is not something that is 'plug-&-play' as much as hardware that requires proper installation, and configuration for specific purposes. Buy the RTL-SDR Blog receiver to get started on an SDR learning journey, but expect to invest time learning some necessary basics before use. I find this device a good deal for learning to use current SDR hardware and software. - As an absolute novice, I invested in the RTL-SDR Blog receiver to learn as much as I can about SDR. I chose this as an affordable way to begin learning, and discovered an enthusiastic community of users. This SDR device seems enormously popular with the amateur hobbyist community, with active forums, topical video and web sites. SDR hardware is not 'plug-&-play,' so realistically, expect to invest some time into learning basic setup, device drivers, software configuration. If approached with patience and curiosity, this device is an ideal first SDR. The antenna kit is convenient, and worth the extra cost. I had the antenna assembled, mounted, and attached to the RTL-SDR Blog receiver in less than 10 minutes. I recommend the RTL-SDR Blog receiver to amateurs, hobbyists, and others interested in affordable SDR learning. It is not a, 'plug-&-play' device so expect to invest time in learning hardware, software, and exploration of SDR in general. I have found the hardware is simple to attach to my PC, however software can present learning challenges and opportunities for the curious. Review: Excellent SDR receiver — noticeably better than basic dongles. - I’ve spent a lot of time comparing SDR receivers and was specifically interested in how the V4 performs with the antenna stuck to the window for VHF/UHF and airband monitoring. The V4 has excellent sensitivity and does a very good job pulling in weaker signals. The front-end filtering is particularly useful in a busy RF environment-LED lights, literally anything that plugs in caused my HT to only hear static. I’m using it with SDR++ software and the dipole it came with. The difference in reception is noticeable. It performed better than a “base unit” in sensitivity. Pros: excellent sensitivity, good filtering, stable operation, solid construction, easy software integration. Cons: None I received one of the last V4’s, but I’d still buy from this company. The customer service is great! Carl responded very quickly. ## Features - Includes 1x RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Dongle and 1x Multipurpose Dipole Antenna Kit - Several improvements over other brands including use of the R828D tuner, built in HF upconverter, improved component tolerances, a 1 PPM temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO), SMA F connector, aluminum shielded case with thermal pad for passive cooling, improved filtering, activatable bias tee circuit and a much improved antenna set. - Can tune from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz and has up to 3.2 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth (2.4 MHz stable).
