Driver installation took some time
Hardware is fine, but getting the drivers working on Ubuntu required some terminal commands. Once set up, it performs well. Just be prepared to troubleshoot.

Good hardware, antenna is basic
The dongle itself is excellent and sensitive. The included antenna is okay for strong signals but you might want to upgrade for weaker bands. Overall satisfied.

Solid build quality
Feels durable and the USB connector is tight. No overheating issues during long sessions. Highly recommend for anyone getting into software defined radio.

Perfect for beginners
This board works flawlessly with SDR#. I was able to pick up local FM stations and air traffic control signals within minutes of setup. Great value for the price.
