Review on πŸ“» Full Band UV RTL-SDR USB Tuner Receiver - 100KHz-1.7GHz - R820T+8232 Ham Radio by Jonathan Lloyd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Windows does not recognize the device!

So far I can't get the thing to work at all. When I plug this into a USB port, Windows either doesn't see it or it comes back with "Windows doesn't recognize the device because of a device error" and error code 43, and when it shows up in Device Manager it says "Unknown USB device (failed device descriptor request)" with a yellow triangle and !. I see many of you had trouble installing this device. Did you have the same problem as me and if so how did you troubleshoot it Maybe it's nothing more than a driver problem, but the recommended Zadig program also reports it as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" and doesn't suggest any driver can only broadcast FM and public service bands (police, fire, EMS etc.) and weather channels (NOAA/NWS) I'll play with it a little more and make a backup tonight so I don't lose configuration.

Pros
  • Delivery content: 1 piece. * 100kHz-1.7GHz RTL-SDR USB tuner receiver
Cons
  • Not sure
