" ... Works great with PiAware on a Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspbian Linux. ... "
" ... Great product for the small project that I was doing on my Raspberry Pi. ... "
" ... For these digital signals P-25/trunking you'll need two of these SDR units and other software and yet more advanced computer skills. ... "
" ... I'm very happy with the function and performance of this dongle. ... "
" ... Those are excellent as well and I have two sets of the RTL-SDR BLOG packages, one for my Mac and one for a Raspberry Pi. ... Anyway, I decided to give this dongle another try and figured if I still had the same issue, I now had filters that I could use. ... "

" ... Plug and play with earlier NooElec SDR dongle already installed. ... "
" ... I would recommend hooking the dongle to a USB extension cord. ... It's a bit heavy and puts physical stress on the port, easily solved by an extension. ... "
" ... - This dongle has a smaller form-factor than most too, allowing two of these to sit side-by-side in a laptop's USB ports. ... A blue R820T2 Generic dongle I got would occupy its USB port and block the adjacent USB port with its body. ... "
" ... They work with just about any pc or single board computer with a usb port. ... "
" ... It felt like it put a lot of strain on my computer's USB port. ... "
" ... NooElec NESDR SMArt - Premium RTL-SDR w/ Aluminum Enclosure, 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input & 3 Antennas. ... "
" ... Gets really hot quickly and can do a number on your USB port if your letting it dangle. ... "

" ... It is working great for measuring the VSWR of antennas. ... "
" ... Plus they give you a pack of 3 Various antennas. ... "
" ... I needed to extend the antenna about 15 feet to get outside the house. ... I hope this helps if you need longer antenna leads. ... "
" ... Great for looking at local wireless traffic in the area. ... "
" ... Good dongle, mediocre antennas (to be expected). ... "
" ... It's amazing how many signals I can see, even with a short whip antenna in the basement of my home. ... "
" ... Antennas are a good start but invest in a good dipole or another style for your application. ... "
" ... This dongle seems very well made and the included antennas seem to work well even in my rural area - I am getting good reception from police radios many miles away. ... "
