5 SDR Dongles Compared

[pinkfish457]

Over on the RTL-SDR for Everyone: Review: 5 RTL dongles website is a comparison of 5 SDR dongles. They compared all 5 against each other.

The article makes for great reading for someone just starting out, as well as some of us that don't have testing equipment.

Interesting read.. (I've got a black Nooelec that I plug in now and then).

Thanks for posting.

I just bought a coupe of the generic Chinese "blue" R820T2 dongles. I replaced my black R820T with one of them and sensitivity is much better. Once I dialed in the frequency correction (61.6 ppm), it's very stable.

I'll just have to see how long they last.

Love my new blue!

I picked up the blue Mini2 + R820T2 dongle with the TCXO from NooElec after reading that review . Let me tell you, not only did NooElec ship fast, but also gave me great support on the fly when I had a problem with the initial installation. The difference is noticeable form my previous R820T dongles. I was up running Virtual Radar in minutes once the install issue was solved. I ordered the metal case for it for a little more RF shielding protection. Definitely worth getting.
