## Description

Buy Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 SDR - NESDR Smart HF/VHF/UHF (100kHz-1.75GHz) Software Defined Radio. Premium RTLSDR w/ 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input & Aluminum Enclosure. RTL2832U & R820T2 (R860)-Based Radio: Computer Accessories & Peripherals - desertcart.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

## Features

- 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
- NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR v5 can be used for the reception of broadcast AM radio, broadcast FM radio, shortwave radio, CB radio, public security radio, trunked radio, air traffic control, ACARS (plane-ground communications), ADS-B (plane tracking), AIS (ship tracking), POCSAG (pagers), NOAA and GOES weather satellites (weather images), weather balloons, radiosondes, DAB radio, DVB-T video, Inmarsat, Iridium, and so much more!
- 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
- 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)
- 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)
- Your purchase includes a NESDR SMArt v5 RTL-SDR. For a version which includes an antenna set, see product ID B01GDN1T4S
- 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it natively support active antennas without using a Bias-T?**
A: No, not on this particular model.  A native bias-tee of any sort will cause loss (reduction in sensitivity), regardless of design.  As such, our general recommendation is to use a well-designed external bias tee whenever possible--as it can be completely removed from circuit when not needed.  If impossible, or if your budget will not permit such a solution, the next best thing is having 2 SDRs, one with an active or switchable native bias-tee and one completely without such a circuit for passive antennas.  Of course, if you are planning on only EVER using an active antenna with your SDR, an always-on or switchable bias-t is just fine :)Hope this helps!  Please feel free to reach out to us any time with questions or concerns, and thank you for your support

**Q: Does it need driver files for Window notebook? If so, where can I get the driver?**
A: A file named zadig appears to be magic in getting RTLSDR up and running.  I just had to go back thru this again when I tried to fire up my RTL system for the first time in maybe six months.  Do a web search for "zadig" and download the file from one of the sources (not many).  Open it up and run the zadig.exe file.  The hard part is getting the right configurations into thr zadig window.  Then hit the "replace file" button.    If you got it right, things should start working.

I'm sure you can find more detailed and complete guidance from some web sights, in particular RTLSDR.com, but this gives you the general idea.  Good luck with it - the SMArt makes quite a nice little shortwave radio with with an HF upconverter feeding the SMArt.

**Q: Does it transmit?**
A: No you cannot transmit with it

**Q: If I want to listen to trunked P25 or trunked DMR, are two dongles required?**
A: Yes, you can use ONE sdr now to listen to P25 phase I and phase ii. How it works is the dongle will monitor the control channel and the transmission channel within the bandwidth of the sdr. You will get better and more calls with 2 sdrs. The key is to find the frequency of the P25 system you want to monitor and build a good antenna for it, get it elevated.
