Questions & Answers

Despite trying to use the otg y cable to deliver power to the dongle at the same time, I am unable to do so. What's going on? How do I solve the USB C problem?

A mobile device that is connected via USB The device itself cannot be charged in OTG mode. It is powered by a yo-yo The adapters in this bundle provide power directly to the SDR so as to extend the battery life of the device. Unfortunately, at this time, the only devices that have multiple USB ports and can host a USB device and be charged at the same time can also host a USB device. Please accept our sincere apologies if any confusion has been caused. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Nooelec directly. you so much for your kind words!

To use this rig with my Kindle 10, I plan to attach the rig to my Kindle. How do I do that using a Y cable alone? A USB-based device Can I charge one of the three gadgets on the kindle, one on the SD card and one on the ?

Thanks for letting me know. It should work.

Do you have any advice on how to connect What happens if it falls out? Can you tell me what I'm missing?

The connector is an SMB type, so it should simply snap in and remain The board does, however, move a little bit when I apply pressure to it. Hence, I brace the USB end of the unit (by a finger or a fixed object (desk)) while I push in the SMB connector firmly. As well, when disconnecting, I hold the USB shield firmly before pulling out the antenna plug, which can take a bit of effort. I do that after unplugging the USB cord and letting the unit cool down, as it can get quite Thank you! I hope that helped!

When it comes to the heatsink, what size is it?

My metric measurement is 3 1/2" x 9/16" *sorry i do not have a metric scale

The following update has been made Besides a terrible build quality, there are numerous issues with the product's performance on Android and This is an update for June 24, 2017 It took me some time to figure out that it either is defective or junk since I've tried two PC applications that work fine with other generic RTL devices
3/5

The applications provided with this device will not recognize it using their My other RTL dongle is a USB 2. 0 dongle Statistical Data Reports. *I will request a refund for this product as I do not recommend it. I came in yesterday, and am ready to go First, for the technical details This SDR dongle does what it is supposed to do -- it does what it is supposed to do One thing, however, is not the case. This app is only available on Android phones, and I was able to tune into local FM radio pretty easily using it. There is one exception, however The low end of this device's reception range is 26-32 meters when it is manually tuned to this level Instead of tuning in to the 27MHz, it tuned in to the 88MHz. It does not matter what range is displayed in the RF Analyzer app for 5MHz FM frequencies. As soon as I've been able to connect this to my PC, I'll let you know if this continues if it does, the item is probably defective, so I'll send you an RMA request. A HIGH QUALITY BUILD INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING The quality of the video is horrible! In my experience, it is unlikely to last more than a couple of weeks. There is a screw that is missing from the case entirely, and it wasn't in the ziplock bags that each piece There are no square pieces in the case and there is no proper fit between them. Despite the USB connector on the end sticking out a sufficient distance, it cannot be inserted fully into a receptacle (in addition, it sticks out at an angle, rather than What I've found to be the worst part is the fact that the guts of the device move back and forth when the USB is plugged in and the antenna is turned on. The following are some comparisons between my RTL and this one Statistical Data Reports. This is a case of com vs. I do not understand why this is a 3 unit. In order to give it the benefit of the doubt, I will wait until it is connected to my computer.

The mobile app is easy to set up
5/5

I was impressed with how well the package worked out of the box. I used it as a mobile app on my Droid to monitor frequencies. So far, it seems to be working. In the near future, I will do more testing, so you will see more updates.

A great product with a lot of versatility
5/5

This is an awesome product. I got it working with my Samsung Galaxy S10, but haven't quite figured out how to use it on my laptop. My only wish is that it would have come with some instructions for getting started, as I'm extremely new to ham radio and many of the Elmer's in my club don't have an up to date understanding of what drivers are needed for Windows Even before I started, I installed the provided heat sink, and it was evident to me within the first couple of minutes why it was included. The battery was drained at the rate of around 1% per minute when I used the Galaxy S10 phone. I am learning a lot from it because it is an amazing piece of hardware.

Everything seems to be going well so far
5/5

Having only used this SDR for a short time, I'm very happy with its performance. I use it with my Kyocera Dura Force Pro 2 and it works great. Hot temperatures cause the unit to malfunction. Add an additional heat sink for maximum efficiency. I installed a second heat sink from an.

This is a cool device
5/5

It is compact. It gets hot very fast. The Android apps that can be used with this device are few but seem to be useful. Fun learning is still going on.

This is my first choice for streaming media
5/5

I like how small and portable it is. Adjust your setup and you'll be able to start working in no time. It is recommended. The Nooelect team will be a regular customer in the future.
This package comes with everything you need to begin listening in just a few minutes.

Small almost to the point of being uncomfortable
4/5

I think it meets the specifications, but the antenna is poor quality, the pin in the center broke when I tried to connect it.
