  • 1x portable multipurpose dipole antenna set.
    • 1x dipole base with 60cm RG174,
    • 2x 23cm to 1m telescopic antenna,
    • 2x 5cm to 13cm telescopic antenna,
    • 1x 3m RG173 extension cable,

NOTE: This is the new V4 model. Please be sure to read the installation instructions carefully as this model requires the installation of the RTL-SDR Blog drivers, which are different to the standard drivers.
 
This is an RTL-SDR blog V4 software defined radio receiver with RTL2832U ADC chip, R828D tuner, 1PPM TCXO, SMA F connector and aluminium case with passive cooling. Tunes from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz with up to 3.2 MHz (2.4 MHz stable) of bandwidth. Perfect for use as a computer based radio scanner with free software like SDR#, HDSDR, SDR-Radio, GQRX or SDR Touch on Android. Works on Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and computers like the Raspberry Pi. 
 
Great for many applications including general radio scanning, air traffic control, public safety, ADS-B aircraft radar, marine AIS, ACARS, trunked radio, P25/MotoTRBO digital voice, POCSAG, weather balloons, APRS, NOAA APT/Meteor M2 weather satellites, radio astronomy, DAB, or as a low cost panadapter with a ham radio. 
 
Comes with a multi-purpose dipole antenna kit which is perfect for beginners. The short antennas are great for ADS-B, and the longer antennas work well at lower frequencies. When used in a v-dipole configuration the antenna works well for 137 MHz weather satellites and the ISS. Use in a vertical configuration for terrestrial signals. The two mounts and 3m of RG174 cable allow you to easily mount the antenna outdoors. 
 
This model has several improvements over other brands. It uses the improved R828D tuner, has an improved front end with filtering, a 1PPM TCXO, better components, a redesigned lower noise PCB, cooling improvements, extra ESD protection and an SMA F connector. It also has a software activatable bias-tee for powering LNA's and active antennas. It also has HF reception capabilities. Most standard RTL-SDR dongles can tune down to 24 MHz at the lowest. This model has a built in up-converter, and allows for tuning down to 500 kHz. There is a built in 28.8 MHz low pass filter for optimising this mode.
