Application areas
RTL is ideal for many applications including general radio scanning, air traffic control, public safety radio, ADSB, AIS, ACARS, VDL2, trunked radio, P25/DMR digital voice, TETRA, POCSAG, weather balloons, APRS, NOAA APT or METEOR M2 weather satellite, Outernet, Inmarsat, Iridium, GSM, Milsatcom, radio astronomy, meteor scatter monitoring, DAB, or as a low cost panadapter with traditional amateur radio.
Improve
This RTL unit has several improvements over G M and other brands, including:
R820T2 tuner
Improve passive component tolerances
1 PPM Temperature Compensated Oscillator (TCXO)
HF mode via built-in direct sampling (tunable to 500 kHz, unlike basic RTL- which can only be tuned to 24 MHz)
SMA F connector
Aluminum shielded housing with thermal pads for passive cooling for improved L-band performance
Software activates 4.5v bias tee circuit
Improved PCB design reduces noise and spurs
USB noise choke, more bypass capacitors and built-in ferrite reduce PC noise
Improved ESD protection (additional ESD diodes and additional ESD discharge paths)
Improved front-end circuitry designed for broadband use (other models still use circuitry designed only for DVB-T)
There are multiple breakout pads on the PCB for advanced users
This is an RTL- software defined radio receiver with RTL2832U ADC chip, R820T2 tuner, 1PPM TCXO, SMA F connector and aluminum housing with passive cooling. Tuning range is 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz, with instantaneous bandwidth up to 3.2 MHz (maximum stable bandwidth is 2.4 MHz, or 3.2 MHz if your application can tolerate USB drops). (HF operates in direct sampling mode - only available on models V.3 and above). Ideal as a computer-based radio scanner with free software such as #, HD, -Radio, Linrad, GQRX or Touch on And roid. Works with Win dows, MacOS, Linux, And roid and even embedded Linux computers like Rasp berry Pi.
This model has several key improvements compared to other models. It uses an improved R820T2 tuner with 1PPM TCXO (2 PPM initial offset, 1 PPM temperature drift), improved component tolerances, and SMA F connectors. It also features software-activatable bias circuitry for powering external devices such as LNAs and active antennas. It also has high frequency reception capabilities. Most standard RTL- dongles are tunable down to 24 MHz. This model has hardware that unlocks "direct sampling mode" and allows tuning down to 500 kHz. There is a built-in 25 MHz low-pass filter to optimize this mode.
Various other improvements to other models were also applied. For example, chokes were added to the USB lines and additional bypass capacitors and power line ferrites were added to reduce internal and PC noise, the PCB was redesigned to significantly reduce noise performance, ESD protection was improved, front-end The circuitry has been optimized for broadband use (other models are still optimized for DVB-T frequencies), the LDO has been upgraded, and multiple breakout pads have been added for advanced users.
This device requires USB 2.0 (works with most USB 3.0 ports, but we can't guarantee it will work with all ports, so make sure your PC has a native USB 2.0 port, just in case). Installation on Win dows is simple, Goo gle for the RTL- blog quick start guide (sorry, links not allowed on e Bay).
Can be tuned from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz and has an instantaneous bandwidth up to 3.2 MHz (2.4 MHz stable). (In direct sampling mode, performance is reduced for high frequency reception below 24 MHz). Please note that the RTL- dongle is only available for RX.
