Review on ๐Ÿ“ป NESDR SMArTee v2 SDR - Premium RTL-SDR with Integrated Bias Tee, Aluminum Enclosure, 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input: Unleash the Power of Software-Defined Radio by Kevin Cole

Revainrating 4 out of 5

USB connector design flaw

The USB connector doesn't protrude far enough from the metal case, resulting in a loose fit in several computers and several USB extenders. The slightest movement of the block will result in a shutdown. I tried the second block with the same result. It's a shame, because the radio itself actually works quite well. Tech support insisted it was the drivers or the weight of the device, which is pretty funny. No problems with competing RTL-SDR v3 modules. Return both blocks to return.

Pros
  • Designed and manufactured by Nooelec in North America. Impeccable quality and a full 2-year guarantee!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
