Best Nooelec External Tv Tuners in 2026

Turn your computer, phone or tablet into a radio scanner/ham radio receiver that can receive nearly all RF signals! Compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Android

NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR v5 can be used for the reception of broadcast AM radio, broadcast FM radio, shortwave radio, CB radio, public security radio, trunked radio, air traffic control, ACARS (plane-ground communications), ADS-B (plane tracking), AIS (ship tracking), POCSAG (pagers), NOAA and GOES weather satellites (weather images), weather balloons, radiosondes, DAB radio, DVB-T video, Inmarsat, Iridium, and so much more!

The best-performing low-cost RTL-SDR available anywhere! Compared with RTL-SDR v3, HF SNR is improved by up to 15dB, VHF & UHF SNR is improved by up to 6dB, tuning accuracy is improved by an average of 4x, and the frequency range is expanded all the way down to 100kHz

Included: Nooelec USB dongle & antenna

RTL2832U interface IC & R820T tuner IC on USB dongle

These are custom USB devices tuned for SDR and include much better components than generics

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.

Listen to ALL HF, down to 100kHz and below, with nearly any software defined radio!Listen to ALL HF, down to 100kHz and below, with nearly any software defined radio! Massively improved performance vs. any direct sampling hacks and implementations

Proudly made in the USA and Canada with high-quality components! Full 1 year warranty, direct through Nooelec

Antenna protection on the RF input, in-circuit in both enable and passthrough mode

Included RTL2832U and R820T tuner ICs on the USB device

Nooelec guarantees a protection diode on the input to protect from ESD damage

Compatible with most SDR software, including SDR#. Provides an approximate tuning range of 27MHz-1700MHz for software defined radio (SDR)

Premium RTL-SDR bundle includes NESDR SMArt XTR in beautiful brushed aluminum enclosure, re-designed antenna base with 2m (6.5') RG-58 feed cable, and 3 antenna masts

A wide variety of improvements on other designs, including ultra-low phase noise 0.5PPM TCXO, 2 separate RF-suitable voltage regulators, custom heatsink, 2 silicone pads and SMA female connector

Designed from the ground up to reduce USB port occlusion. Run multiple NESDR SMArt series devices side-by-side with any USB-compliant device, including tightly-spaced embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi

An ultra-low noise software defined radio, capable of receiving nearly ANY RF signal from approximately 25MHz-1700MHz. Includes SDR, high-quality antenna base, and 3 antenna masts to get you started right away without any further purchases!

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!

Includes 2 NESDR Nano 2 SDRs. Each SDR is lab-calibrated and EEPROM-programmed for simple Stratux software setup

Also includes a pair of high-gain ADS-B antennas, tuned to 1090MHz and 978MHz, respectively. The antennas are appropriately silkscreened with their frequency for easy identification

Each SDR includes a calibration sticker and adhesive identification labels, which can be applied for easy identification of each SDR

A full, wide-band RF solution for those interested in getting started with software defined radio and with a keen interest in HF bands

The NESDR SMArt HF Bundle utilizes a well-designed upconverter--the Ham It Up--to receive HF, NOT direct sampling hacks. This results in a vastly different HF experience--much better performance, and no loss of gain controls

Included is a Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter, installed in a custom black aluminum enclosure; an NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR, 3 antennas, an impedance matching balun for longwire and dipole antennas, and interconnect adapters

High-quality custom black aluminum enclosure which will fit either the Ubertooth One or YARD Stick One from Great Scott Gadgets

The aluminum enclosure not only provides improved EMI shielding, but also fantastic physical protection for your investment

The solid aluminum enclosure does not have a product name on the outside, and occludes the view of the on-board LEDs, in order to maximize discreetness

Everything you need to get started with 2.4GHz development, including Ubertooth One module installed into a custom shielded aluminum enclosure and a 2.4GHz duck antenna!

All bundle components covered under warranty for 1 year, directly through Nooelec

Ubertooth One is a configurable 2.4GHz transceiver with great application software and support; and with suitable transmit power and receive sensitivity for 2.4GHz development

The NESDR SMArt HF Bundle utilizes a well-designed upconverter--the Ham It Up--to receive HF. This results in a vastly different HF experience--much better performance, and no loss of gain controls. There is also the option of using directly sampling directly with the NESDR SMArt v5 without the Ham It Up

Included is a Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter, installed in a custom black aluminum enclosure; an NESDR SMArt v5 RTL-SDR, 3 antennas, an impedance matching balun for longwire and dipole antennas, and interconnect adapters
