v5 has a frequency capacity of 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)
Your purchase includes a NESDR SMArt v5 RTL-SDR. For a version that includes an antenna set, see product ID B01GDN1T4S
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
Proudly built by Nooelec in the USA and Canada! Full 2-year product warranty and product support via our support portal at https//support.nooelec.com
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!
Full data sheet available: https://www.nooelec.com/datasheets/100701
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)

[You can use software to crack the ID of frequently used digital walkie talkies and demodulate the voice signal]
[You can set up an automatic search scan.]
[Analog undertones and digital undertones can be cracked by software.]
Through SDR software, the reception of electromagnetic waves in the range of 100 kHz to 1.7 GHz supports AM, FM (NFM, WFM), CW, LSB and USB demodulation. It can be used for listening to shortwave single-sideband communication, FM broadcasts, walkie-talkie calls, aviation bands, ADS-B decoding radar for meteor monitoring, signal reception, etc.
Features: The signal received by the antenna is converted into data by the receiver and sent to the computer, Android phone and other devices via the USB interface. The software on the computer, Android phone and other devices then processes and decodes the signal, displays it and sets the reception as desired. Bandwidth, signal recording, storage, playback and other functions.

Main highlights

Use R820T2 tuner, higher quality passive components, a choke on the USB line to reduce USB noise, a greatly improved PCB design for significantly less internal spores and noise, various breakout pads, improved ESD protection, additional bypass capacitors and ferrite power chokes, improved front-end adjustment circuit and a better .
SMA Antenna Socket - Universal dongles use the less common MCX or PAL antenna connectors. SMA is more common, so more adapters and antennas are available for it. It is also more durable and has lower RF insertion losses.
RF reception in direct sampling - Listen to 100 kHz - 25 MHz with direct sampling. Simply connect an RF antenna to the SMA port and select the Q branch. There is a built-in 25 MHz low-pass filter, but additional RF filters may be required for optimal performance (e.g. to dampen strong MW AM).
Lower overall noise, higher sensitivity. Can tune from 100 kHz to 1.8 GHz and has an instant bandwidth of up to 3.2 MHz (2.4 MHz stable). (HF reception below 24 MHz runs in direct sampling mode)
Better cooling system, large aluminium housing and passive cooling - These devices come standard with an aluminium housing and passive cooling via fan. And the PCB is specially designed for passive cooling design thanks to the cooling holes and the large aluminum housing. This prevents the reception from failing due to over ~1.2 GHz
