## Overview

The RTL-SDR Blog V3 is a premium software defined radio dongle featuring the advanced R860 tuner and RTL2832U ADC chip. It offers an expansive 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz frequency range with up to 3.2 MHz bandwidth, enhanced by a 1 PPM temperature compensated oscillator for superior frequency stability. Housed in a thermally optimized aluminum case with passive cooling, it includes an activatable bias-tee for powering external antennas. Compatible with major SDR software and multiple operating systems, this dongle is a must-have for serious radio enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-performance signal reception.

## Description

This is an RTL-SDR blog V3 software defined radio receiver with RTL2832U ADC chip, R860 tuner, 1PPM TCXO, SMA F connector and aluminium case with passive cooling. Tunes from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz with up to 3.2 MHz (2.4 MHz stable) of bandwidth. (HF works in direct sampling mode with reduced performance). Works with free software like SDR#, HDSDR, SDR-Radio, GQRX or SDR Touch on Android. Works on Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and computers like the Raspberry Pi. This model has several improvements over other brands. It uses the improved R820T2 tuner, a 1PPM TCXO, better components, a redesigned lower noise PCB, cooling improvements, extra ESD protection and an SMA F connector. It also has a software activatable bias-tee for powering LNA's and active antennas.

Review: Amazing little dongle! - I bought this after testing a friends SDR dongle for a few days. These things are very good although could use a bit more info on the actual setup but once this has been done it works flawlessly (Google is your friend here). The RTL-SDR Blog can cover all the way from 500KHz to 1.76GHz. Unlike some other SDR dongles, to listen between 500KHz and 24MHz (HF) you don't need a converter for this - with this dongle just set direct sampling in the options and away you go (don't forget to reset this back when tuning to the higher bands). Antennas can make or break any receiver. I have a simple VHF/UHF antenna that I used on an old scanner many years ago and this works perfectly for aircraft, the higher HAM bands and the FM broadcast bands etc. There's many antennas available for purchase that would be more than suitable. I've also run a long wire (about 10 meters) to the end of my garden for listening to the HF frequencies and have easily managed to hear stations from around the globe on a number of occasions. I've also managed to decode the NOAA weather satellite images directly from the satellites as they pass overhead but there's a learning curve to this which I'm still on! There's a swathe of free SDR software available but I have currently settled on HDSDR (on my Windows PC) and, after a bit of a learning curve, is a very nice piece of software. If you are completely new to these things I'd probably recommend trying SDR# first - it's easier to get up and running and will give you near instant results. I've even taken this thing portable using my Android tablet and an app called SDR++ that has, so far, worked flawlessly. Very handy for getting away from the "noisy" towns and on to higher ground for some real long range reception. All in all, if you are in to radio, this is a really nice piece of technology that should provide many many hours of entertainment. As a note: The item I purchased from this seller certainly does appear to be a true genuine RTL-SDR V3. There are many poor quality "copies" out there that really don't work as well (I know as I've tried a couple) so be careful where you purchase from.
Review: Excellent quality SDR: sensitive and responsive - I bought this to replace a generic RTL2832U SDR dongle that only cost a few pounds; immediately I noticed how much better it performed; even connected to a basic end-fed antenna, the RTL seemed a lot more sensitive and responsive; coupled with good software ( I have been using SDR++, replacing the Cubic SDR I used with the cheaper dongle) I have had excellent results. Another unexpected bonus was finding the way to use the SDR software with the I/Q output on y Xiegu G90 HF rig, turning the combination into a panadaptor, although the advice is that this is going to be unstable at best. Overall, a genuine RTL-SDR ( and their website shows you how to spot and avoid fakes) performers excellently across a huge range of frequencies, and is useable right down to some at the lower end of the amateur radio HF bands, making it an absolute necessity in any amateur radio kit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a few questions, 1. is this dongle just the hardware, you use your pc as the control interface 2. can this tune (rx) 118-137 mhz aircraft freq.**
A: Yes and yes. You'll need to note that an antenna is key to getting good results.

**Q: Can this be used to watch digital tv with the right software**
A: Yes, but with poor performance. While you should be able to receive legacy DVB-T transmissions (first generation digital television), newer DVB-T2 (second generation digital television, HD) transmissions cannot be received due to limited bandwidth on these dongles.

**Q: Can you listen to atc on this, and what program do you use in the uk.**
A: Yes, it is fine for ATC, I use a small  indoor 'rabbits ears' (old tv aerial) and you need to turn to the signals. SDRSharp software is easy to use and free. You need to get right adapter to screw into thread of the sdr usb stick. You could just attach a long wire to the center pin just to test but it is not reliable for any long term use. Look around for the antennas that sometimes are sold with this SDR. Don't pay to much I got my antenna set for < 20 euro.

**Q: Would this product work on a Google Chromebook? Thanks.**
A: My guess is No.
Chrome books are very limited and only to apps most (all?) software developed for these devices are Windows 7 or 10.
Seriously, they are pain to use IMO and a dedicated multi band physical radio is a better investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works well
*by T***N on 25 February 2025*

It works fine. Loaded the software and driver from the airspy site. (Sdr studio). A bit tricky but plenty of info on Youtube. Not sure this is the best package as I don't find it that intuitive. so far so good.
