Review on ๐Ÿ“ป NESDR Nano 2 - Compact Black RTL-SDR USB Kit (RTL2832U R820T2) with MCX Antenna. Enhanced Software Defined Radio, DVB-T and ADS-B Compatible, ESD Safe by Geoff Cooper

Make sure you connect it directly to the motherboard USB ports and not to a hub.

Amazing little SDR that works on my Android phone and PC. After reading it I have to tell you that it is important to connect it to the motherboard and not to a USB hub, otherwise you will overheat the device. I recommend this product and the team behind it. Your tech support has been great! After about 20-25 minutes of working on HDSDR, it disappears from the USB devices list. When it finally gives up, I measure 130.9*F on my Fluke 179 on an RF Nano 2 copper connector. Unfortunately I can't recommend it unless it's the 24/7 device they describe. . Maybe I just have a bad block. It's a shame because the size and looks are great.

Pros
  • The allowed frequency is about 25-1750MHz with no gaps in this band. HF extension up to 100kHz is available with a Ham It Up boost converter (sold separately).

Pretty much the same, except for size, as other SDRs out there.

Marginally useful, but interesting device.
