Covering a broad frequency range from 27MHz to 1700MHz, it supports ADS-B, satellite, and various radio signals. Designed for hobbyists and professionals alike, it offers ESD protection, broad software compatibility, and a full 1-year warranty, making it the ultimate gateway to real-time wireless signal exploration. ## Description The perfect device for learning software defined radio, on the cheap. Amateur radio, ADS-B, police & fire scanning, trunking, satellite images--you name it, this little guy can probably do it. Outperforms many devices 10x its cost! These units are based on the R820T tuner IC made by Rafael Micro. As such, they have a frequency capability of approximately 27MHz-1700MHz, though this can vary somewhat from unit to unit. There is also an RTL2832U IC on board of course, which acts as the demodulator and USB interface. The connector type on the antenna and USB board is MCX--male MCX on the antenna, female MCX on the SDR. We perform extensive QA on every batch sold. As with all our SDRs, we guarantee antenna protection will be present so that your new investment will not be quickly destroyed by spurious ESD. SOFTWARE DETAILSFull compatibility with a large array of software packages, such as MATLAB, HDSDR, SDR Touch, SDR#, Planeplotter--too many to list. MathWorks and Nooelec have coordinated to bring MATLAB support for our SDR receivers. The RTL-SDR radio support package enables you to design wireless receivers using real world signals. Using Communications System Toolbox in conjunction with an RTL-SDR USB radio, you can design and prototype systems that process real-time wireless signals in MATLAB and Simulink. ## Features - Included: Nooelec USB dongle & antenna - RTL2832U interface IC & R820T tuner IC on USB dongle - These are custom USB devices tuned for SDR and include much better components than generics - Full 1-year warranty & installation support available! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009U7WZCA | | Antenna | Radio | | AntennaDescription | Radio | | Best Sellers Rank | #18 in External TV Tuners | | Brand | NooElec | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Smartphone | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | Mini USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,870 Reviews | | Includes Remote | No | | Item Weight | 66 Grams | | Manufacturer | Nooelec Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | 100556 | | Model Number | NESDR Mini | | Tuner Type | ads-b,satellite | | UPC | 616469145598 616469145710 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NooElec - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Smartphone - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Connector Type:** Mini USB ## Images ![NESDR Mini USB RTL-SDR & ADS-B Receiver Set, RTL2832U & R820T Tuner, MCX Input.

How is it used? TNX** A: It started life as a tv receiver. Using it as a 'real' software defined radio means (1) the software it started out with is no longer used, and (2) the little remote it came with does not know much about whatever software is in place for your planned use. There are very clever folks about - even now, someone may be looking at the little remote, thinking 'hey, if l decode the signals this remote sends, bet I could lace them into this new code, here, to do....somthing... cool...' Shorter answer, not intended to be snarky, is: without appropriate code, it fits in a waste can... sorry. Good luck. **Q: Is there any software to use this as a scanner for digital radio communications?** A: SDR# (http://www.sdrsharp.com) is a very functional interface that supports a number of different plugins. Although I didn't find one that would simply scan an open frequency range and stop on any signal above the noise floor, it does allow you to store frequencies and scan through them much as a commercial scanner would do. As far as digital communications go, none that I'm aware of yet but the GnuRadio (http://www.gnuradio.org) project has more functions and capabilities than one can fathom. I've decoded a number of digital transmissions (mostly just AFSK, ham packet radio and POCSAG pager messages) but not voice. Have a look at this sites:http://www.rtl-sdr.com/sdrsharp-plugins/http://www.rtl-sdr.com/http://www.rtl-sdr.com/signal-identification-guide/Good luck.-Charles **Q: What bands does this unit cover? I'm looking for an HF receiver with 1 MHz~28 MHz bands, anything else is a bonus. Also, I'll be using this on Linux.** A: The specs are 25 mHz - 1.7 gHz. I only used it for 1 gHz ADS-B. **Q: I am trying to decide between this and the NooElec NESDR Nano. Has anyone done a comparison?** A: The NooElec NESDR is basically the same unit with the same chipset in a smaller case. I have several of these smaller versions (nano) and they all work the same as the larger ones with the R820T not the E4000. There is a tuning coverage difference between the versions with the R820T and the version with the E4000. Both work well as SDR's. Don't forget to buy a MCX adapter for an external antenna connection. You may also require an SMA to BNC or PL259. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by O***N on March 3, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***. on September 11, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***S on February 10, 2014* ## Frequently Bought Together - Nooelec NESDR Mini USB RTL-SDR & ADS-B Receiver Set, RTL2832U & R820T Tuner, MCX Input.
