RTL-SDR V4 (Software Defined Radio) with Dipole Antenna Kit

  • BrandRTL-SDR

Description

Best value RTL-SDR on the market

RTL-SDR is an affordable dongle that can be used as a computer-based radio scanner for receiving live radio signals between 500 kHz and 1.75 GHz in your area.

The new RTL-SDR V4 offers several improvements over generic brands including use of the R828D tuner chip, triplexed input filter, notch filter, improved component tolerances, a 1 PPM temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO), SMA F connector, aluminium case with passive cooling, bias tee circuit, improved power supply, and a built in HF upconverter.

RTL-SDR V4 comes with the portable dipole antenna kit. It is great for beginners as it allows for terrestrial and satellite reception and easy to mount outdoors and designed for portable and temporary outside usage.

Features

  • Improved HF reception: V4 now uses a built-in upconverter instead of using a direct sampling circuit. This means no more Nyquist folding of signals around 14.4 MHz, improved sensitivity, and adjustable gain on HF. Like the V3, the lower tuning range remains at 500 kHz and very strong reception may still require front end attenuation/filtering.
  • Improved filtering: The V4 makes use of the R828D tuner chip, which has three inputs. The SMA input has been triplexed input into 3 bands: HF, VHF and UHF. This provides some isolation between the 3 bands, meaning out of band interference from strong broadcast stations is less likely to cause desensitization or imaging.
  • Improved filtering x2: In addition to the triplexing, the open drain pin on the R828D can be also used, which allows to add simple notch filters for common interference bands such as broadcast AM, broadcast FM and the DAB bands. These only attenuate by a few dB, but may still help.
  • Improved phase noise on strong signals: Due to an improved power supply design, phase noise from power supply noise has been significantly reduced.
  • Less heat: Another advantage of the improved power supply is low power consumption and less heat generation compared to the V3.

Included

  • 1x RTL-SDR V4 dongle (R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA)
  • 2x 23 cm to 1 m telescopic antenna
  • 2x 5 cm to 13 cm telescopic antenna
  • 1x Dipole antenna base with 60 cm RG174
  • 1x 3 m RG174 extension cable
  • 1x Flexible tripod mount
  • 1x Suction cup mount

    Gut aber nicht einfach

    Schneller Versand , Ware prima. Elektor als Händler also top.
    Aber Installation und Anwendung erfordert doch einiges an Wissen und tüfteln.
    Leider gibt es vom Herstelle keine eigene Software für ein einfache Installation.
    Software muss sich von Drittanbietern zusammen gesucht werden.
    Treiberinstallation unter Windows erfordert "Eingriff" ins System und kann schief gehen. Also kein Plug and Play an der Stelle. (Betrifft vermutlich alle solche SDR Hardware ) Hersteller bietet Quick Start Guide an ,fand ich aber trotzdem nicht einfach. Profitierte mehr vom Wissen der Installation meines SDR Play vor ein paar Jahren. Hätte angenommen das es inzwischen einfacher geworden wäre. (fand ich jetzt nicht) . Die Hardware ist soweit ist gut und im Set sehr gut für den Start durchdacht. Daher auch 5 Sterne von mir.

    Works as a dream...

    The RTL-SDR V4 arrived within 2 days. I installed it very easily and use it on the Graves beacon on 143.05 MHz. I can see the pings and burtsts of meteorites perfectly as wel as plane scatter traces. Next project is receiving weather charts on NOA15 and 19..to be continuet :)

    Es erfolgte eine sehr schnelle Lieferung. Die Antenne übertrifft unsere Erwartungen.
    Ansonsten ein sehr gutes OK!
