Review on NESDR SMArTee XTR SDR: Premium RTL-SDR with Extended Tuning Range, Aluminum Enclosure, Bias Tee, 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input by Andre Noel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A bit misleading but still a good device

I give 3 stars for previous experience with Nooelec devices. I have bought many Nooelec devices, I consider myself a fan of the company. This purchase was driven by a desire for more bandwidth and an integrated bias tee for the LNA. I usually use my devices with SDR#, which is still my favorite software. When I connect this device, my software does not start even if I reinstall the Zadig driver. When I set up my smartee device and then change it to smartee xrt, my system stops and SDR# fails. Nooelec replied that I should use another software application since SDR# doesn't work with the new dongle (I didn't see this anywhere in the installation guide). I think this will be my gateway to sdrplay or airspy devices in the future.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Hard to say
