Pros

Given the strangeness that is the two weeks bracketing christmas and new years, i’m still not mad.

It even works with a raspberry pi linux system. Only problem is that i’ve been unable to install the drivers for it on my laptop. Works great for an ads-b reciever.

Only reason for a 4/5 is just the antenna and really it's expected but the only reason for purchasing the branded was the esd feature and it being specifically marketed as an sdr (with some branded modifications perhaps? Ordered this unit along with t...  Read More



Cons

I wish this thing worked, very finicky need to wait till they update the sdr software and also the antenna tuning and control. Perhaps this is due to the low performance antenna, or interference from my pc.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness


I wish there was an options (maybe by default) to have a better antenna since it's specifically marketed as a sdr (you could bu...  Read More


Also, i didn't like the mcx antenna connector as it requires an adapter to use with the more prevalent sma connectors.


Works better than expensive name brand police scanners.


The nooelec is not a bad product, there are just better ones out there within the same price range.
