It offers a wide tuning range from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz with up to 3.2 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, enhanced by a 1 PPM temperature-compensated oscillator for exceptional frequency stability. Housed in a thermally optimized aluminum case with passive cooling, it includes an activatable bias-tee for powering active antennas. Compatible across major platforms, this dongle transforms any laptop or Raspberry Pi into a powerful SDR receiver, perfect for amateur radio enthusiasts, signal hunters, and tech-savvy pros eager to explore the wireless spectrum. ## Description This is an RTL-SDR blog V4 software defined radio receiver with RTL2832U ADC chip, R828D tuner, 1PPM TCXO, SMA F connector, built in HF upconverter, improved filtering, and aluminum case with passive cooling. Tunes from 500 kHz to 1.766 GHz with up to 3.2 MHz (2.4 MHz stable) of bandwidth. Works with free software like SDR#, HDSDR, SDR-Radio, GQRX or SDR Touch on Android. Works on Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and computers like the Raspberry Pi.This model has several improvements over other brands. It uses the improved R828D tuner, a 1PPM TCXO, better components, a redesigned lower noise PCB, cooling improvements, additional filtering, extra ESD protection and an SMA F connector. It also has a software activatable bias-tee for powering LNA's and active antennas. Review: Seriously capable device for anyone interested in getting into amateur radio - I love this thing. Probably my favorite gadget of all time. Plug this into a USB port on your laptop and attach an antenna (not included) and you unlock a whole new world of software defined radio (SDR). This tiny dongle acts as a wide band radio receiver - the sort of thing that would have been the size of a shoebox a few years ago. I’ve used mine to feed aircraft position data to flight tracking websites (PlaneFinder, FlightAware, etc.), to intercept and decode signals from satellites, the international space station, and my neighbours weather station. You can listen to Ham radio operators, marine traffic, CB radio and even air traffic control talking to planes flying overhead. You can also use it to listen to DAB radio. It’s a seriously capable bit of kit in a compact package. For anyone interested in radio, this is a great way to get into what will quickly become an absorbing hobby. Minor point, but it tends to run quite hot to the touch. It might be obvious, but you can’t transmit with this - it’s just a receiver. Review: Affordable SDR - This is a very affordable SDR. It isn’t exactly plug and play and took some googling to set up but I’m not an expert and for the price should expect to have to put in a bit of work to get it set up. So far I’m really happy with it and it can be used with a range of different sdr software ## Features - Includes 1x RTL-SDR Blog R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Dongle (V4) (Dongle Only) - Several improvements over other brands including use of the R828D tuner, built in HF upconverter circuit, improved filtering, improved component tolerances, a 1 PPM temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO), SMA F connector, aluminium shielded case with thermal pad for passive cooling, improved filtering, and an activatable bias tee circuit. - Can tune from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz and has up to 3.2 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth (2.4 MHz stable).

It isn’t exactly plug and play and took some googling to set up but I’m not an expert and for the price should expect to have to put in a bit of work to get it set up. So far I’m really happy with it and it can be used with a range of different sdr software ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, but be careful with software driver installation *by G***8 on 28 July 2026* Works well when coupled with software like SDRsharp and SDRangel. But be aware that the initial installation is not for the feint hearted, and you need to exactly follow the quick start guide at rdl-sdr.com to get it working. ## Frequently Bought Together - RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio (Dongle Only) - Bingfu VHF UHF Ham Amateur Radio Police Scanner Antenna Magnetic Base BNC Male Antenna Compatible with Uniden Bearcat Whistler Shack Police Scanner Radio - 4PCS SMA to BNC Antenna Coax Adapter Connector, SMA Male Female to BNC Male Female Coaxial Adapters for SDR, HAM Radio, Scanner, Walkie Talkie --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/584115003-v4-r828d-rtl2832u-1ppm-tcxo-sma-software-defined-radio-dongle](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/584115003-v4-r828d-rtl2832u-1ppm-tcxo-sma-software-defined-radio-dongle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
