Introducing the NooElec NESDR XTR+ Tiny Extended-Range TCXO-Based RTL-SDR & DVB-T USB Stick, a cutting-edge device that opens up a world of radio frequency possibilities. This compact yet powerful USB stick, which includes the highly sought-after E4000 tuner, is designed specifically for enthusiasts who demand the best in performance and reliability. With its exceptional frequency reception capabilities, the NESDR XTR+ is perfect for both amateur and professional applications.
The NooElec NESDR XTR+ stands out with its ultra-accurate 0.5PPM TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) clock, ensuring rock-solid tuning across a wide range of frequencies. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who require consistent performance in varying temperature conditions. The custom design incorporates dual ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection on the antenna input, safeguarding the device against potential damage from electrical surges.
As the name suggests, the XTR+ is an eXTended Range model, capable of receiving frequencies all the way up to 2300MHz. This impressive capability is due to the genuine and verified E4000 tuner IC, which is becoming increasingly rare in the market. The E4000 integrated circuit, once produced by the now-defunct Elonics, has become a coveted component among radio enthusiasts. Many devices claiming to use the E4000 chip may actually contain inferior alternatives, but with NooElec, you can rest assured that you are purchasing a genuine E4000-based SDR.
In addition to its impressive technical specifications, the NESDR XTR+ is designed for portability. Its small dimensions – measuring 43.0mm in length (excluding the male USB plug), 20.0mm in width, and 10.0mm in depth – make it an excellent choice for those on the go. This compact size does not compromise performance; in fact, it is engineered to consume less power, drawing only 170mA at 5V DC. This low power consumption is particularly advantageous for portable and embedded applications, allowing you to use the device for extended periods without the need for frequent recharging.
The E4000 tuner does have a known ‘gap’ in its frequency capability, specifically in the L-band gap around 1100MHz-1200MHz. The exact location of this gap may vary from unit to unit. However, user testing has shown that the E4000 performs exceptionally well when tuned to frequencies starting near 1500MHz and higher. This makes the NESDR XTR+ a versatile tool for exploring a broad spectrum of radio signals.
Included with the NooElec NESDR XTR+ is an antenna and a remote control, enhancing your experience and making it easier to operate. Whether you’re interested in weather satellite signals, amateur radio, or just exploring the airwaves, this USB stick will meet your needs with precision and reliability. Plus, the product comes with a full 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects, providing peace of mind with your purchase.
