Product Information
IMPORTANT NOTE: 

This item does NOT contain our SDR improvements, like the NESDR series available in our store.  These are generic DVB-T USB sticks that can be used for SDR.  

As such accuracy and sensitivity will be lower than the NESDR series.  Further, these are not rated for 24/7 operation  (NESDR series are) and come with a limited 30 day warranty as opposed to 1+ year.  

However, they are the cheapest SDRs which we carry at this point in time, and unlike other generic devices will have ESD protection on the front end.  If your budget allows, and you plan on using this for SDR, we recommend taking a look at the NESDRs in our store.

These DVB-T dongles have new-found popularity since it was discovered they can be used as very inexpensive software defined radios.
 
These units contain a Rafael Micro's R820T tuner IC.  This means the dongle has a tuning range of about 24MHz-1750MHz.  There is also an RTL2832U IC on board of course, which allows for interfacing via USB to a large number of popular SDR software packages.
 
The connector type on the antenna and USB board is MCX.

Every dongle will have ESD protection installed in the form of a BAV99W diode on the antenna input. 
 
Why purchase from NooElec?  Because we know software defined radio, and know it well. We support our products.  We warranty our products.  Perhaps most importantly, we understand our products.  We are always glad to help customers who have technical questions.  

There is plenty of information is available in the links above to get you started, but here is a video demo if you don't feel like reading.  Of course, we're always happy to answer any questions you may have, both before and after purchase!
