Power consumption has been reduced while improving sensitivity and lowering the noise floor. A high quality telescopic antenna and strong magnetic mount base included free of charge in order to facilitate a wide variety of antenna mounting options. A free female SMA adapter is also included at no cost for those looking to connect SMA antennas to the NESDR Mini 2+. The perfect 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! These units are based on the R820T2 tuner IC made by Rafael Micro. This provides substantial performance improvements over R820T. They have a frequency capability of approximately 25MHz-1750MHz, though this can vary slightly from unit to unit. There is also an RTL2832 (RTL2832U) IC on board of course, 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. Want HF too? Take a look at the Ham It Up which will allow you to listen all the way down to 100kHz or lower with impeccable sensitivity. ## Features - New! Redesigned for lower noise, better sensitivity and lower power consumption. - Design changes include RF-suitable 3.3v power supply with 1/10th of the noise of other SDRs, shielded power inductor for improved EMI rejection, and more! - A male MCX to female SMA adapter and strong magentic antenna mount included as standard. - R820T2 tuner provides substantial performance improvements over R820T-based devices - Full support and service directly through Nooelec! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00VZ1AWQA | | Antenna | Radio | | AntennaDescription | Radio | | Best Sellers Rank | #32 in External TV Tuners | | Brand | NooElec | | Color | bule | | Compatible Devices | USB-compatible devices | | Connectivity Technology | Radio Frequency | | Connector Type | MCX | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,098 Reviews | | Includes Remote | No | | Manufacturer | Nooelec Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | 100662 | | Model Number | NESDR Mini 2+ | | Tuner Type | Satellite Radio | | UPC | 616469145802 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NooElec - **Color:** bule - **Compatible Devices:** USB-compatible devices - **Connectivity Technology:** Radio Frequency - **Connector Type:** MCX ## Images ![Nooelec NESDR Mini 2+ 0.5PPM TCXO RTL-SDR & ADS-B USB Receiver Set w/Antenna, Mount & Female SMA Adapter.

I don't get it.** A: It is a digital TV tuner that you plug into your computer. It is meant for Europe's standards, it won't work to receive TV in North America.However, someone figured out how to put it into a mode that just does a raw dump of the binary info it receives. Now everyone all over the world can use it as a digital radio receiver with some free software. You'll need to put an appropriate antenna on it, but it can receive over a range of about 24MHz to 1.75GHz. Go to RTL-SDR dot COM to see a list of software and where to download it.Since it decodes in software, it can receive AM, FM in narrowband and wideband, SSB, digital signals, etc.This particular one has a good 0.5ppm oscillator replacing the rather poor oscillator that most others come with.These receivers are not as good as a full-blown shortwave radio, but at only $25 bucks! There is even software that you can download to use it to receive airplane locator signals and show a virtual radar display on your computer.The most important part of any radio is the antenna. A discone is a fairly wideband antenna. Also, I strongly suggest that you get a USB extension cable to move this away from your computer, because computers are a big source of electrical noise. With mine plugged into my laptop, there was so much RFI from the computer that I could not receive anything. With a 6ft extension, I could pick up the weather radio channels, HAM radio, and shortwave radio stations. **Q: Can anyone tell me why the mini 2+ costs twice as much as the mini 2 since they both have the updated r820t2 chip? also what is the ppm of the mini 2?** A: The primary difference between the 2 units is the NESDR Mini 2+ contains a high-accuracy TCXO (which are quite expensive). The NESDR Mini 2 is guaranteed to be within +/- 25PPM; the NESDR Mini 2+ is guaranteed to be within +/- 0.5PPM. The difference is rather large and can be crucial for some applications. Please contact us any time if you have further questions, thank you :) **Q: Will this receive ads b and digital tv, if not, why? Thx** A: Yes to ADS-B. Yes to digital TV if DVB-T is available in your area. If you are in North America, no to digital TV as ATSC signaling is used here. The bandwidth required to receive one channel is larger than this device is capable of. Hope this helps! **Q: Does this reciever pick up digital TV channels?** A: Hi! Not in the US, no. It is capable of receiving DVB-T video but those signals are not used in the USA. You probably want a USB ATSC tuner.
