Wanted to see what you guys/gals were using for a Powered Hub? I'm running 3-4 Dongles.
Powered USB Hub?

This one is working well for me. It was recommended to me by one of our RR veterans.
One other thing worth mentioning... It's good practice to space the dongles to every other slot for better heat dissipation.

I got some 90 degree usb shorty extensions I'm going to use so the dongles wont be pointing straight out of the Port.

I should have got a mega PORT like yers !
I don't use powered hubs as I want to avoid injecting more noise with a switching power supply.
I power the following SDRs with this HUB with and a 20 foot USB 3.0 extension cable with no issues.

2x RTLV4 with LNAs
1x SDR Play dx2.
Ive had 3 RTL V4 with the SDRPlay too with no issues.
The RTLs are being used by either MyKola or SDR Trunk and the SDRPlay is my visual searching SDR that I connect remotely to with SDRPP.

I have one of those, but the issue is that if you use a standard RTLSDR, you can only make use of two of them because two of the ports are too close together. It might work if you have Nooelec SDRs though.
That’s right. The max you can fit on this is 3. There’s a single USB port on the other side. You can add more by using a couple short extension cables
