Main highlights

v5 has a frequency capability from 100 kHz to 1.75 GHz and an instant bandwidth of up to 3.2 MHz. RF reception below 25 MHz is carried out 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)
Turn your computer, phone or tablet into a radio scanner/amateur radio receiver that can receive almost all RF signals! Compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Android
The most powerful cost-effective RTL SDR available anywhere! Compared with RTL-SDR v3, the HF-SNR has been improved by up to 15 dB, the VHF and UHF SNR has been improved by up to 6 dB, tuning accuracy improved by an average of four times and the frequency range extended down to 100 kHz
NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR v5 can be used for receiving AM broadcasting, VHF broadcasting, shortwave radio, CB radio, public security radio, bundled radio, air traffic control, ACARS (plane-ground communications), ADS-B (aircraft tracking), AIS (ship tracking), POCSAG (Pager), NOAA and GO. ES-weather satelliten (weather images), weather balloons, radio sones, DAB radio, DVB-T video, Inmarsat, Iridium and much more!
Although the direct sampling implementation of NESDR SMArt v5 is much better than any other RTL-SDR, we still recommend using an upconverter like Ham It Up for a more fulfilling RF experience (sold separately, product ID B076CYK8XZ)

Unmatched value for money - The newly designed board reduces noise by an average of 3 dB! Includes the same fantastic features as the rest of the NESDR SMArt series, including an extremely low noise TCXO with a guaranteed factory tolerance of <0.5ppm. This is at least four times more accurate than the units advertised as 1PPM TCXOs with an initial offset of up to +/- 2PPM
Thanks to the 4.5V bias tee with interference-free power supply and 250mA power supply, you can power almost all active antenna circuits without having to deal with drivers or software
Same form factor as the other devices in our NESDR SMArt series, eliminating problems with USB occlusion. Run devices side by side without messy extension cables or adapters, even on embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi!
Designed and manufactured by Nooelec in North America. Impeccable quality
A software-defined radio with extremely low noise capable of receiving almost ANY RF signal from approximately 25 MHz to 1700 MHz. Includes SDR only! A complete package with an antenna package can be found at http://www.amazon.de/dp/B079C4S2BT
