Having had many wide receivers this is to be the worst. Do not understand the hype there. Have triple set of different antennas and alongside some analogue and other WB receivers. This is truly a nightmare device. Software SDRuno is also highly unstable and needs frequent restarts. It even has problems often getting normal WBFM correctly, outputting slow and stutter audio. My el cheapo WB radio does so much better thus without all the fancy stuff of course. The scan functionality is truly bad and will even lock up the software. I am running this on a dedicated laptop which is my lab computer and not loaded with too much other stuff. Frequency selection is a nightmare and very hard to enter on the keypad. Also antenna SMA connector is very loose on the toy plastic casing. This costs clearly too much for what it offers. And yes, I know what I am talking about having professionally worked with Rockwell Collins and Marconi systems previously as a RF engineer. For 50 Euros it is worth with all the quibbles, but not more. As usual Eleshop typical fast delivery. This one goes back and will never be considered again. I'd rather spend triple the money for a decent quality. Don't know why it is listed under Spectrum Analysers though as it clearly is not an SA. It tested it with a transceiver and the SA software from the SDR webpage. Kind of ok, but clearly not to be used for anything but toying around.
