RTL-SDR Blog V3 R860 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Software Defined Radio with Dipole Antenna Kit

It is priced well considering custom clearances needed to be done and it was hassle free. It showed up like any other amazon product and after careful verification from rtl-sdr to the best of my abilities, I do believe this is the genuine rtl-sdr. I have kept the dipole antenna outside for about a week in rain and I had bit of rust near the pivot point but nothing major.

I bought this mainly for the purpose of flight tracking (ADS-B). I started using this dongle from last month. More than 3500 aircraft data is uploaded to the server with my small setup. I am using home made antenna. I think I can improve its range if I use a professional antenna properly. However I am happy with the product. I am using it 24x7 except there was three outage for few hours totally. its working well.

installation is a bit tricky as long as antenna kept in open it works fine Nice product for new generation Ham radio enthusiast but only for listening I recommend it

I was initially skeptical about the authenticity of this product, but it turned out to be genuine. I cross-checked all the details on their website and verified the PCB using the provided image, which was a great relief. As others have mentioned, the product doesn’t come with a manual, but their website offers plenty of helpful resources. Software support is somewhat limited on Mac, and I encountered issues while trying to record signals from RF switches using Universal Radio Hacker. The problem, however, was traced to a faulty USB hub I used to convert USB-C to USB-A. When I switched to Windows, everything worked perfectly. Overall, a solid investment!

This is an original one .. has all the accessories that are needed .. works straight off the bat .. and impresses one totally. The only cons are 1) No box in which to keep things nicely tucked away when not in use and 2) No manual or doc to set it up. Manuals available online and used a bit of common sense to put it all up and running. Final word: Thanks much for the great kit!

first impression is best impression. Listened many local FM stations. As compare to radio, sound quality is not good but OK. Will try with other bands in upcoming days. After using 30+ usage, device heats rapidly.

Due to international origin the delivery takes a lot of time, expect delays of around two weeks or so (maybe due to customs). But the product is original and really nice. Value for money.

Received the product in good condition and verified that the device works perfectly
