NooElec NESDR SMArTee v2 SDR - Premium RTL-SDR w/Integrated Bias Tee, Aluminum Enclosure, 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input. RTL2832U & R820T2-Based Software Defined Radio

Quality is good, Reception is great size and compatibility is good

Quite good. Perfect for my flight radar 24 setup

I waited to see how it went and after months of using it works perfectly gets hot quickly great value for cash DMR and FM are clear pics up more than my trx 1

This is a FANTASTIC entry point into the world of SDR receivers. This version offers the same functionality as the NESDR v4 but with added BiasT power on the SMA port. NooElec also do the Lana wideband RF amplifier, which to be honest adds a load of gain but offers no benefit if used right before the input of the SDR. I suspect it needs to be used like a masthead preamp next to an antenna to amplify signals down a long coax run. The Flamingo FM+ is excellent however and offers good attenuation of broadcast FM stations. This SDR provides great stability and capability when using SDR#. And yes it can be used to pick up ADS-B if you want to feed flightradar24 etc.... 2Mhz of bandwidth is very usable, more is great but you have to pay for it. This is the perfect first step into SDR. Highly recommend!

Got two of these connected to a Raspberry Pi, one for ACARS and the other for ADS-B. Been operating solidly 24/7 since purchase. Really easy to get up and running too. Plugged in directly they operate too hot to touch but on a USB extension or 90 degree adaptor as I’m using, they’re not so bad but still run really hot. To be fair, even a standard USB memory stick runs really hot in a RPi.

Previously purchased an NESDR SMArt which has served me well but needed an RTL-SDR with a bias tee to power an active L-Band patch antenna for receiving Inmarsat Std-C data and the NESDR SMArTee fits the bill. Driver installation was not necessary in my case but it is easy enough to do with the Zadig application and instructions on the NooElec website.

Bias tee always on by default, no messing with software switching. Great little radio for experimenting with Satcoms especially when teamed up with a sawbird io and running Jaero decoding program, as mentioned in my blog pages. Thanks John and the team at Nooelec, great product, brilliant value for money.

Tried on 2 laptops and 1 pc watched 3 hrs of online YouTube re installed drivers multiple times it doesn't seem to work?

Plancher propre, pas de raies parasites. Le bias-tee n'est pas désactivable, mais cela simplifie le circuit et il est facile de rajouter un DC block si nécessaire. Pour ma part je l'utilise avec le LANA donc le bias-tee m'est utile. Bons points : peu de dérive d'OL (0.5ppm) donc peu de bruit de phase, et bonne stabilité car bien refroidie. Le boitier faisant office de dissipateur, il est quasiment à la même température que l'électronique. Ca chauffe, environ 40°C ! Mais elle devrait durer longtemps. La première a lâché à la première connexion, invisible sur mes 3 machines (rien avec lsusb) bien que je trouvais toujours 5V en sortie de SMA. Reprise sans histoire par Amazon, j'ai reçu rapidement la nouvelle qui elle fonctionne bien. Cela n'enlèvera donc pas d'étoile. Merci !

todo bien, muchas gracias

good sensitivity working fine

Ik gebruik Nooelec SDR nu al meer dan 8 jaar en heb enkele van deze versies hier getest, en ook deze stellen me niet teleur, een goede en stoorvrije oplossing om je LNA aan stroom te voorzien. Een metalen behuizing, met binnenin tevens een koelvin op de printplaat , zo moet het zijn .

Reliable and good performance for ADSB flight tracking. Powers the LNA directly via the integrated bias T. Nice compact form and metal case for long term usage.
