Excellent SDR for the money

Very good SDR. One thing I've noticed in comments about other SDR devices is how warm or hot they can get. This model warms up but does not heat up even when used for more than 3 hours. I believe this is due to the new heatsink configuration in the SDR USB. After purchase the company sent me a link to their website with very good instructions on how to install the required drivers and software which was very easy when my SDR arrived. They also have a few SDR software packages on their website that you can download, but I prefer SDR#. Very good reception on most bands including HAM, Broadcast, Law Enforcement, CB etc and of course FM. Antennas work well and even better when grounded. The base of the antenna is magnetic and I highly recommend placing the antenna on something metallic (e.g. steel) like a baking sheet or similar as this will greatly improve frequency reception.

Pros
  • I like everything so far
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
