## Overview

The Nooelec NESDR Mini 2+ is a compact, high-precision software defined radio receiver featuring a GPS-grade 0.5PPM TCXO crystal, low-noise power supply, and advanced R820T2 tuner. It supports a wide frequency range (25MHz-1750MHz) and comes with a telescopic antenna, magnetic mount, and SMA adapter. Compatible across major OS platforms, it’s ideal for amateur radio, ADS-B aircraft tracking, and scanning applications—offering professional SDR capabilities at an unbeatable price point.

## Description

The NESDR Mini 2+ is tuned for SDR usage, including a high-accuracy, Japanese fabricated, GPS-rated 0.5PPM TCXO crystal; re-designed RF-suitable power supply; and improved capacitors and inductors compared to generic devices. Power consumption has been reduced while improving sensitivity and lowering the noise floor. A high quality telescopic antenna and strong magnetic mount base included free of charge in order to facilitate a wide variety of antenna mounting options. A free female SMA adapter is also included at no cost for those looking to connect SMA antennas to the NESDR Mini 2+. The perfect device for learning software defined radio, on the cheap. Amateur radio, ADS-B, police & fire scanning, trunking, satellite images--you name it, this little guy can probably do it. Outperforms many devices 10x its cost! These units are based on the R820T2 tuner IC made by Rafael Micro. This provides substantial performance improvements over R820T. They have a frequency capability of approximately 25MHz-1750MHz, though this can vary slightly from unit to unit. There is also an RTL2832 (RTL2832U) IC on board of course, which acts as the demodulator and USB interface. The connector type on the antenna and USB board is MCX--male MCX on the antenna, female MCX on the SDR. Want HF too? Take a look at the Ham It Up which will allow you to listen all the way down to 100kHz or lower with impeccable sensitivity.

This has also become a very important "band preview" device as well. It holds up well in strong transmitter fields. I expected damage at high transmitter power, but so far nothing. It just keeps on ticking! :) I had problems with a WIN 7 install originally. Something was wrong in that original OS. Same machine but upgraded to WIN 10 Pro, and both SDR# and HDSDR work perfectly now. I expected possible damage at high transmitter power, but so far nothing. It just keeps on ticking! :) I had problems with a WIN 7 install originally. Something was wrong in that original OS. Same machine but upgraded to WIN 10 Pro, and both SDR# and HDSDR work perfectly now. What, $20.00 or $25.00 plus the upconverter @approx: $45.00 and you have quite a bit you can do. I really like it for ham radio but recently using the aircraft tracking sw. has really been "enlightening!"
Review: An Excellent Gateway to Software-Defined Radio (and You Can't Beat the Price) - Without expensive laboratory equipment I have no elaborate details to mention, what I can say is that I had no trouble setting it up (I tried it out on four separate systems running Linux; two desktops, two Raspberry Pi... 4B/1G & 5B/8G, 'Bullseye,' 'Bookworm,' 'Bookworm,' & 'Ubuntu 'Noble,' respectively). It seems happiest running on Debian (12 'Bookworm'). The software available for it is mostly of the free and open-source variety, and the more graphically-intensive software is what will use up more RAM than the device, itself. Tuning-in local FM radio stations was no different from using the FM-tuner in our living room, the receiver sensitivity and selectivity were both en par with our (analog) FM-tuner. (Selectivity quite possibly is better with this device, mostly because of modern digital filter design in the IF-section/stages.) With regard to the amateur radio spectrum (or spectra), VHF works just fine; namely, there's plenty of activity on two meters... it's hit and miss finding activity on UHF, and one won't find much of anything below 24 MHz without mixing it down. (The antenna for the DX bands 160m - 10m is what will cost several dollars extra, this kit supplies an adequate antenna to get one started.) For a first try, this SDR-receiver is a good starter for anybody who's curious and wants to examine yet another angle to radio technology (and the price is right).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does this thing do? I don't get it.**
A: It is a digital TV tuner that you plug into your computer. It is meant for Europe's standards, it won't work to receive TV in North America.However, someone figured out how to put it into a mode that just does a raw dump of the binary info it receives. Now everyone all over the world can use it as a digital radio receiver with some free software. You'll need to put an appropriate antenna on it, but it can receive over a range of about 24MHz to 1.75GHz. Go to RTL-SDR dot COM to see a list of software and where to download it.Since it decodes in software, it can receive AM, FM in narrowband and wideband, SSB, digital signals, etc.This particular one has a good 0.5ppm oscillator replacing the rather poor oscillator that most others come with.These receivers are not as good as a full-blown shortwave radio, but at only $25 bucks! There is even software that you can download to use it to receive airplane locator signals and show a virtual radar display on your computer.The most important part of any radio is the antenna. A discone is a fairly wideband antenna. Also, I strongly suggest that you get a USB extension cable to move this away from your computer, because computers are a big source of electrical noise. With mine plugged into my laptop, there was so much RFI from the computer that I could not receive anything. With a 6ft extension, I could pick up the weather radio channels, HAM radio, and shortwave radio stations.

**Q: Can anyone tell me why the mini 2+ costs twice as much as the mini 2 since they both have the updated r820t2 chip? also what is the ppm of the mini 2?**
A: The primary difference between the 2 units is the NESDR Mini 2+ contains a high-accuracy TCXO (which are quite expensive).  The NESDR Mini 2 is guaranteed to be within +/- 25PPM; the NESDR Mini 2+ is guaranteed to be within +/- 0.5PPM.  The difference is rather large and can be crucial for some applications.  Please contact us any time if you have further questions, thank you :)

**Q: Will this receive ads b and digital tv, if not, why? Thx**
A: Yes to ADS-B.  Yes to digital TV if DVB-T is available in your area.  If you are in North America, no to digital TV as ATSC signaling is used here.  The bandwidth required to receive one channel is larger than this device is capable of.  Hope this helps!

**Q: Does this reciever pick up digital TV channels?**
A: Hi! Not in the US, no. It is capable of receiving DVB-T video but those signals are not used in the USA. You probably want a USB ATSC tuner. Thanks for your interest!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Cool "Experimental RF Tuner" with Insane Learning Curve
*by R***Y on April 26, 2016*

This is a strange gizmo. These USB sticks (in general) were not originally made to be used as SDR radios. They were designed to be used for Digital TV reception, with that market not even being in the USA. So of course, someone decided that they could work as a very wide band radio, or a type of extreme TV tuner that you would tune in like a shortwave radio, but you would tune it on your computer. For a low price, you get a mostly respectable radio tuner that covers the same range as a digital scanner, but you work this like a shortwave radio on your computer. You can use this as a scanner, (I have) but it will not scan channels and and digital/trunk scan requires special programs even more difficult. And Two of these. The package includes a small telescoping antenna, an adapter plug for using a different antenna, the tiny remote (not used for SDR) and a suction cup to join to the magnet mount antenna. And? That's it. No booklet, no box, no instructions. FYI...No Instructions!!! This is a Do-It-Yourself Gizmo. That is why I give this 4 stars. Okay, Amazon sent me an email from NooElec, which had a link to Setup information and basic Instructions. But...this is a warning here....this is an Experimenter's Device! It is Not Plug-N-Play in any form whatsoever. Use at your own Risk! You may get this to work as an SDR radio under the right conditions (under a full moon) on certain computers, on certain nights. Or you may not. You also don't get any Windows drivers for this and the drivers that Windows will try to setup for you will not work at all for SDR use. Windows will find/load these and then you are hosed. Won't work. You have to remove the Windows driver and install the specfic SDR driver for it, before Windows beats you. This driver has to be downloaded prior to you attempting to install this device and so forth. Did I mention, no instructions? When you make it this far, you download a program called SDR Sharp and if all goes well, it works as it should under Windows. But that is if Windows and SDR Sharp finds/recognizes the USB stick at all. At this point you will need hours of trial/error to Get It All To Work. Because the SDR Sharp program has a number of adjustable parameters (RF Gain) etc, which you will never comprehend and thus keep trying things in vain, but nothing works. Because you did not assign it to a USB port in the "Device Field" yada, yada, yada. And the Linux program GQRX is just as much fun. I use that as my main tuner with Linux Mint/Ubuntu. And it works as Good as SDR Sharp does in Windows, mostly the same thing. So for the price, you get a really fun gizmo. Once you set it all up (not easy) you have a very wide range radio tuner for Experimentation. You can see RDS FM radio data, you can see signal modulation/deviation/audio bandwith /subcarriers 19khz pilots, etc. Geek signal stuff. But this is a Very, Very, Steep Learning Curve to get here. Give it a few days of trial/error to even get it to work at all. Then a few days of adjusting parameters to make it sparkle. Then you've really got a Super Cool "Experimental RF Tuner" that will amaze you with the engineer's view of signals.
