Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Webapp allows me to tune in local fm broadcasts as well as a host of other options. Great to hear that old nostalgic fm sound that i grew up with. Not overly sensitive radio, but incredible bandwidth. Another useful application is rtl_433 for receivin... Read More

Easy to setup and integrate into my home assistant setup. Easy to set up on linux.

Good quality signal even with the diminutive antenna. The supplies antennas also work surprisingly well across a broad range of frequencies. Thermal drift is minimal, and they run constantly and have been for about 9 months. Only weak spot i see is th... Read More

You have to remove the windows driver and install the specfic sdr driver for it, before windows beats you. Using with a raspberry pi 2 running dump1090-mutability and piaware. Plugging in a micro usb to usb c adapter it also runs ads-b in apps on my s... Read More

The unit installs very easily per online instructions. It behaves well with sdr software such as sdr#. For sdr use, the mini 2+ is way better than the regular mini 2 because of the addition of txco circuitry.

Cons

the ham it up up converter failed today. there is no way to get it to work on the commercial fm band. It is very difficult to use and requires scripting and manipulating dll and xml files.

After a couple of hardware returns for a physical fm radio this was the most affordable option for me

There wasnt anything definitive on using this with mint but i figured for 24 i wouldnt have wasted a whole lot on it and i figu... Read More

Thats already pretty good for lt25 and i havent even gotten to 34play34 with all the settings yet

Shipping

Product arrived on time and as described by the seller

Packaging/appearance

The only negative about the package was the antenna mount

Competitiveness

I also suggest doing some research on diffrent antennas and their placement yes this makes a huge difference

If you do purchase this kit i would recommend to buy a new antenna as the vertical monopole antenna leaves much to be desired a... Read More
