These dongles are marginally useful but suffer severely from lack of input filters and gain distribution problems.

Probably fine for the intended application but in a dense RF environment intermodulation products make listening challenging, particularly if anything more than an inefficient antenna is used.

Even the better dongles, such as the Fun Cube Plus, with input bandpass filters are prone to overload, to the point where setting the LNA gain at maximum negative value (minimum gain) is necessary, and sometimes mixer gain and post mixer gain also have to reduced.

Been there, done that.

Thread is back from the dead boys! Restored by Jim Rob himself! A trigger-happy moderator thought I was soliciting. Just want to tell everyone: I make not ONE DIME off any of the links in that post. Not even the Amazon links. I just want to bring everyone information useful to them. I love FR, and love the discussion here.

Ping a ling a ding dong...my Icom 7100 just broke after 20 years of service. $15 is better than $1300.00 which is what I paid for that sucker 20 years ago.

I hope those on FR will give you that courtesy, and that they do the same for good-quality writing in general. It's a small payment for the value delivered - and thank you for an excellent and useful bit of writing.

Thanks for posting this. I'm an Amateur Radio guy (General Class, studying for my Extra) and am interested in SDR also. Just ordered the Flex Radio 6700 (newest model) and am looking forward to playing with that.

Curious to know if the device you purchased would work on my 6-160 fan dipole?
