Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Performance: RTL-SDR Blog Wideband Low Noise Amplifier with Bias Tee Power by Dallas Grover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

does exactly as advertised.

As there are no instructions, some adjustments need to be made to get the best results.1. Connect it as close to the antenna as possible and as far away from the key as possible.2. If your software supports it, turn off LNA on your dongle if you have one. (RTL-SDR V3 has one) I used it to decode ADS-B and had to switch from dump1090 to rtl1090 and the difference was amazing. dump1090 gave me about 10 planes with a max 50 mile radius, I switched to RTL1090 and now I have an average of 20-30 planes with a 200 mile radius. (I live near a major city airport) With a modified rtlsdr.dll in SDR# I reduced the LNA by about 25% above 0 and I get every police band (460MHz) in the city with incredible clarity. product and remember that you may have to change some settings but it's worth it, especially at this price point.

Was surprised that two screws for the case were just rattling around in the package with the LNA.

Don’t buy assembled, it’s worth the effort to get a nice looking amp.
