Buying sdr v4

Dongle and antenna are both SMA. The antenna has 6 feet of cable so if you wanted to or needed to extend it you might need adaptors. Always the possibility of needing filters and fortunately many are SMA. The magnetic base may require a metal surface to create a ground plane but I am not an expert.
Let us know how it performs. I was contemplating one of those for when I travel.

That SDR is not a V4, it is a fake V3.
Buy genuine V3 or V4 here for less:
Buy RTL-SDR Dongles (RTL2832U)
You might need an LNA (preamp) for an indoor antenna with weak signals.

My recommendation is this one from Nooelec, I have 5 of them and they are awesome. If you want a package with antenna check the website, the SDR alone is available below...

How much of the PC Resorces are the 5 using and the type pc running them?
I'm not using them all together, though two run my ACARS feed on a PI4, the other two are run independent of each other (one at a time on different antennas) with DSD+ FL. I've never looked at amount of resources it takes.
Whether nooelec or rtl sdr blog, best thing to do is make sure the sold by is one of them. Ship from Amazon does not matter but sold by does. Both vendors have an online store and sell their own products.
