Fantastic Device
Really good bit of kit, will need to find yourself some software to use it with but there are plenty of options. Signal quality seems fine, connects just fine to anything I have used it with and it will work with both Windows and MacOS, I have not tried linux so do with that what you will. Great value and I would no hesitate to purchase more of these if required in future.

Works great
A very good performing RTL-SDR. Very stable and great value for money. Use something like websdr++ on a web server and unleash your own websdr. One of my better choices. Much better than the older V3 and V4

honestly so cool for the price, way better than the cheap plastic clones
Review Text:i got into the whole sdr thing recently and this nooelec v5 is easily one of the coolest gadgets i’ve ever bought. if you're looking to get into radio scanning without spending a fortune just buy this instead of those cheap plastic generic dongles on ebay.the first thing you'll notice is the metal case. it feels really premium and acts like a heatsink, which means it gets pretty hot to the touch when you leave it running for a while. don't panic when it warms up, it's supposed to do that to keep the internal clock stable so your signals don't drift around. i've had it plugged into my pc for hours monitoring local air traffic frequencies and it stays dead-on the frequency the whole time.just a heads up for beginners—windows won't know what this is when you first plug it in. you have to download a free tool called zadig to swap the drivers over before you open up your radio software (i use sdr++ and it works flawlessly). the antenna kit it comes with is great for local vhf and uhf stuff like listening to airplanes or weather bands, but if you want to listen to shortwave stuff down below 25mhz you're definitely going to want to string up a long wire outside.

Works well with FR24 Raspberry Pi setup - Runs very hot
I bought this device to attach to a Raspberry Pi, running the FR24 software to submit ADS-B data. Works perfectly out of the box, no issues (like other reviewers) with drivers etc. The only thing I was concerned about was that the device gets quite hot with routine use - too hot to comfortably handle, so I'm a little concerned regarding safety and longevity of the product.

Good value SDR radio dongle
I bought this because I've had a Nooelec SDR dongle previously and wanted to add HF reception for shortwave and ham listening. It's easy to set up using their get started page and it basically uses the same drivers and utilities as other RTl-SDR dongles, which makes things relatively easy. I've tested it on Windows, Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and Android, all working well with standard drivers and apps. The ony thing I would say for Android though is that the current maxes out around 300mA (so says the datasheet anyway), so for extended usage you'd probably want a powered USB hub /otg-cable (you can get USB-C PD ones online for a few buckpounds). While I have a Hamitup for lower frequencies I wanted to have HF in the dongle for casual scanning and for ease of carrying when going away and doing a bit of holiday DXing. Obviously that means I expect the HF reception not to be as good as an upconvertor, but I was pleasantly surprised by the range of shortwave stations, the limited noise, and audio quality, I got just using a few metres of wire and the Balun 1:9 (a Nooelec SDR accessory for making long wire antennas). So overall it seems a pretty impressive and inexpensive USB RTL-SDR dongle for everyone from beginners to ham operators, especially those who want an easy way into shortwave and HF ham listening.

Super, does what I want it to!
Does exactly what I wanted! Bought to build an ads-b receiver and it works. It does warm mind you so careful where you leave it and what you leave it by! I'm only using a little aerial as I'm only interested in what aircraft are local for spotting and photography purposes and this is perfect. Mines linked to a raspberry Pi4 1gb and I used the 360radar install guide to build this - for those who have no idea how to build one (like me!) it was super helpful!

Very Good Qulity
Good adsb Dongle replaced my flightaware blue dongle that cooked its self this runs hot as aluminium case disipates Heat better works well Reception is worse than my Flightaware blue dongle range decreased

3 stars for the dongle
I'm rating this product three stars because the advertised frequency range is misleading. The product description claims coverage from 100 kHz to 1.75 GHz, but the unit I received only functions natively from 24 MHz to 1.75 GHz. My primary reason for this purchase was for use on the HF bands (below 24 MHz), which the advertisement led me to believe was possible. While one can access HF on this device using the 'direct sampling' mode, this is a common workaround for most basic RTL-SDR dongles and is not the native, continuous coverage implied by the product page. This critical detail should be stated clearly. The dongle performs well as a standard RTL-SDR, but it does not have the special HF capabilities that were advertised, which was a major disappointment.

Rock solid SDR for smart home automation data tracking
This v5 RTL SDR works incredibly well with my Home Assistant environment for pulling in hyper local utility data. The initial setup process was straightforward, and the hardware offers seamless compatibility with third party software like rtlamr2mqtt to capture radio broadcast signals from local water and electric meters in real time. The tuning stability is rock solid, it handles heat much better than older models, and the network connectivity gives me a perfectly clean signal with excellent overall reception. While sound quality is not something I am actively testing for telemetry data, the raw RF signal performance is pristine. This is an essential piece of hardware that provides incredible value for money if you want to build custom utility dashboards in your smart home.
