Description of NooElec NESDR XTR HF Bundle

A full, wide-band RF solution for those interested in getting started with software defined radio and with a keen interest in HF bands. Frequency range is 300Hz-2.3GHz (with a frequency gap near 1.1GHz). The NESDR SMArt XTR HF Bundle utilizes a well-designed upconverter--the Ham It Up Plus--to receive HF, instead of utilizing a direct sampling hack as with most other low cost HF SDRs. This results in a vastly different HF experience--much better performance, and no loss of gain controls. Included is a Ham It Up Plus upconverter, installed in a custom silver aluminum enclosure with fully build noise source circuit; an NESDR SMArt XTR RTL-SDR, 3 antennas, an impedance matching balun for longwire and dipole antennas, and interconnect adapters and cables. Amazon-exclusive bundle! Only available for a limited time. Due to the frequency gap this is NOT recommended for ADS-B. Instead try our NESDR SMArt HF Bundle (Amazon product code B0747PX3NZ).

Amazing Electronics for Radio Enthusiasts

The NooElec NESDR XTR HF Bundle is a must-have for any radio lover! Its high-frequency capabilities and compact design make it perfect for on-the-go listening. The bundle includes everything you need to start listening right away, and its easy-to-use software is perfect for beginners. The only downside is that the software can be a bit glitchy at times. Overall, this is an amazing product that is well worth the investment for any electronics enthusiast.

I'm just starting out like this.

I like it, I make and recommend the kit. However, I don't seem to understand much of it. Basically all FM and a bit more. I'm guessing it has to do with the antenna so I'll keep digging in. I would advise you to try some SDR programs. Hooray!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

Wouldn't buy this set again

This set is a waste of money if I were to buy it again I would only buy Ham It Up. The SDR radio part works fine in my opinion, but no better than the SDR radio I already have. Ham It Up seems to work, but I doubt how well it actually works. Antenna accessories aren't really very useful and have contributed very little to my success at Ham It Up. All in all it's a fun toy to play with and helps me explore the fascinating world of SDR when you're not expecting much from the experience.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
