Description Attachments

The RTL-SDR BLOG V3 is a cost-effective software-defined radio (SDR) USB dongle, ideal for diving into SDR projects or expanding your knowledge in the field.

This enhanced RTL-SDR dongle, initially designed for DVB-T HDTV reception, has been re-engineered to cater specifically to the needs of SDR enthusiasts. Unlike standard dongles, which are marginally adequate for SDR experimentation, the RTL-SDR Blog V3 is tailored for higher performance and reliability in SDR applications.

With a commitment to superior quality, the RTL-SDR Blog V3 stands out among entry-level SDR dongles. It features upgraded antennas and an aluminum case for better heat dissipation. The dongle supports a bandwidth of up to 2.4 MHz and covers a frequency range from 500 kHz to 1766 MHz, making it a versatile and affordable choice for SDR users.

This comprehensive kit includes the BLOG V3 USB Dongle and the RTL-SDR VHF/UHF dipole antenna kit, making it an excellent starting point for beginners interested in both terrestrial and satellite reception.
