## Overview

The NooElec NESDR SMArTee v2 is a premium software defined radio featuring ultra-low noise reception from 25MHz to 1700MHz. It boasts a 0.5PPM ultra-stable TCXO for superior tuning accuracy, an always-on 4.5V bias-tee powering active antennas effortlessly, and a noise-reducing aluminum enclosure. Designed and manufactured in North America, it offers professional-grade performance in a compact form factor with a 2-year warranty, making it the go-to SDR for serious RF enthusiasts and pros alike.

## Description

For full product details, please visit the product page at nooelec.comWe designed this SDR from the ground up in order to develop the best low-cost SDR in existence. The result? A reduction in the noise floor of an AVERAGE of ~3dB over the already high-performing NESDR SMArt (v1-v3)--with an additional always-on bias-tee feature--all in the same fantastic form factor! This premium RTL-SDR was designed, developed and fabricated by Nooelec in the USA and Canada, and comes complete with a full 2-year product warranty.Included:NESDR SMArTee SDR w/ brushed aluminum enclosure SDR features:The NESDR SMArTee contains the same ultra-low phase noise 0.5PPM TCXO used in our much smaller Nano 3 (TCXO specifications below), ensuring ultimate tuning stability in nearly any environment. In the quest for lower noise, the power supply section utilizes an RF-suitable voltage regulator with under 10 µVRMS of noise. That is at least 10x lower than other designs! A quality shielded inductor was used in the power supply to improve EMI rejection. The included aluminum enclosure ensures stray EMI stays where it belongs--away from the sensitive RF circuitry. Lower board-level temperatures further improves the SDR noise floor. Full ESD circuitry on both the antenna input and the USB port provides protection for your investment, and peace of mind that your SDR will work when you need it most.

Review: Great device - Quality is good, Reception is great size and compatibility is good
Review: Good - Quite good. Perfect for my flight radar 24 setup

## Features

- An ultra-low noise software defined radio, capable of receiving nearly ANY RF signal from approximately 25MHz-1700MHz. Includes SDR only! For a full package with an antenna bundle, please see http://www.desertcart.co.uk/dp/B079C4S2BT
- Unmatched price & performance--redesigned PCB reduces noise by an average of a full 3dB! Includes all the same fantastic features as the rest of the NESDR SMArt series, including an ultra-low phase noise TCXO, with a guaranteed <0.5PPM tolerance out-of-the-box. This is at least 4x more accurate than units advertised as containing 1PPM TCXOs, which have up to a +/- 2PPM initial offset
- Same form factor as the other devices in our NESDR SMArt series, which means no USB occlusion issues--run devices side-by-side without messy extension cables or adapters, even on embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi!
- Always-on, 4.5V bias-tee with independent ultra-low-noise power supply and 250mA power capability allows you to power nearly any active antenna circuitry without messing around with drivers or software
- Designed and manufactured by Nooelec in North America. Impeccable quality and full 2-year warranty!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i reading correctly that this should not be used with ham it up as it will overheat?...trying to reduce the noise in my shortwave reception**
A: I have been using a Nooelec NESDR SMArTee XTR SDR - Premium RTL-SDR w/ Extended Tuning Range, Aluminum Enclosure, Bias Tee, with the Ham It Up Plus with no problems.  The Bias Tee, with it being enabled all time means that you cannot have an input which has a DC short circuit, such as a folded dipole, and this is a pain.  I have also used the same one as in the query without issue, but am using that with Bias Tee powered 2m linear amplifier.

**Q: I bought the hamit up from you last week. the sdr part is getting red hot after 5mns. cannot use it because of heat.**
A: It may be because you're using the SMArTee dongle and not the  Nooelec NESDR SMArt .
the smartee version supplies up to 200ma to power preamps..it cannot be switched off.
 If the HAMitup presents a loop i/p the smartee will try to give the full 200ma and get hot.
Nooelec supply the Nooelec NESDR SMArt in their bundle with the hamitup.
Check the i/p of the Hamitup with a meter , if it shows close to short cct thats the problem.

**Q: Are there any drawbacks to this smartee model compared to the basic smart? i have a smartee but want a second. wondering if any benefit to just smart?**
A: No, the circuit design of SMArTee v2 and SMArt v4 are effectively the same.  The difference is this has the bias tee (DC injector) circuit.  It was designed to not affect performance over the frequency capability of the device, and does not--even in sensitive lab tests.  If you don't mind the few extra quid you are generally better off with another SMArTee.  The only exception I can think of is if you want to use an antenna that represents as zero ohm to the SDR (very rare).  You cannot use that type of antenna with the SMArTee but can with the SMArt.  

Thanks for your support!

**Q: Will this work on an android tablet using an otg cable usb adapter**
A: Yes, the NESDR is compatible with Android, provided you install the correct drivers as per our Installation Guide. However, the processing power in a tablet is lower than on a PC, so you may see some performance issues depending on your application and the required software.
