Say hello to the NESDR Mini+ Al!

The Mini 2+ includes a GPS-rated 0.5PPM TCXO, which provides rock-solid tuning performance.  Most RTL-SDRs use either standard or passive crystals (XOs) with an accuracy of +/- 100PPM.  If upgrading from such a model, you can expect a 200x improvement in tuning accuracy, on average!

The SDR is pre-installed in a limited-edition, jet-black, heavy-duty aluminum enclosure.  The enclosure is designed to be nearly industrucatble, and is impermeable to most electromagnetic interference.

The NESDR Mini+ Al utilizes the R820T made by Rafael Micro as the tuner IC.

An improved telescopic metal antenna is also included with your SDR set at no extra charge. 

An amazing device for learning software defined radio, on the cheap. Amateur radio, ADS-B, police & fire scanning, trunking, satellite images--you name it, this little guy can probably do it. Outperforms many devices 10x its cost!

SDR Details

The NESDR Mini+ Al is tuned for SDR usage, and includes a high-accuracy, GPS-rated 0.5PPM TCXO crystal.  Further circuit and component improvements results in a lowered noise floor, increased stability and improved longevity.  

These SDRs are based on the R820T tuner IC made by Rafael Micro. As such, they have a frequency capability of approximately 25MHz-1700MHz, though this can vary somewhat from unit to unit. There is also an RTL2832U IC on board, which acts as the demodulator and USB interface.

The connector type on the antenna and USB board is MCX--male MCX on the antenna, female MCX on the SDR. An SMA adapter is also included for connecting to SMA antennas.

We perform extensive QA on every unit sold.  As with all NESDRs, we guarantee antenna protection will be present so that your new investment will not be destroyed by spurious ESD. 

Software Details

Full compatibility with a large array of software packages, such as MATLAB®, HDSDR, SDR Touch, SDR#, Planeplotter--too many to list.

MathWorks® and NooElec™ have coordinated to bring MATLAB® support for our SDR receivers. The RTL-SDR radio support package enables you to design wireless receivers using real world signals. Using Communications System Toolbox™ in conjunction with an RTL-SDR USB radio, you can design and prototype systems that process real-time wireless signals in MATLAB® and Simulink®

Wireless engineers, students, and hobbyists can learn to receive and decode real-world radio signals using this low cost RTL-SDR hardware connected to your computer.
