Comparison of RTL-SDR Blog V3 performance vs Imitation Generic RTL-SDR

[@yungerallenelectricalcontr6415]

The Generic One has me feeling like I'm doing something wrong always.

[@alannorthdevonuk763]

Excellent, thank you. I have just ordered one from a respected dealer here in the UK, guaranteed a genuine product. I was warned off Amazon, shame though as I'm impatient and love next day. I'll wait a few days for the real thing.

Very helpful, I feel better now that I know my unit is the cheaper one. Mine died...the antenna jack has broken inside...I'll have to buy the genuine one

[@electronicsfixer]

Mine disconnects when you mkve it a tad bit

[@DonzLockz]

Thanks for the info!👍

[@danedewaard8215]

Very helpful video! I doubt whether the fake version is able to perform direct sampling of HF frequencies in addition to the other sub parities!

[@alashbro]

It was able to receive AM radio stations using direct sampling.

[@danedewaard8215]

Wow, I'm surprised! Even so, I guess the audio noise still makes the genuine dongle a better deal. Thanks for responding with that info!

[@paulbrancato8262]

The generic I received does not get AM anywhere. MW or SW. On two different software. SDRsharp and SDR console. It wasn't until watching this video that I had been sold a fake. Off of Ebay.

My left ear enjoyed that

[@dronepilotflyby9481]

Thank you for this info. I just about bought a fake and canceled the order when I saw this. I then bought the real thing from the factory but because of a covid lockdown in China it will be Late May before it's shipped. I'll wait to get the real thing.

RTL SDR clone Empty frequencies contain fake frequency noise The RTL SDR clone cannot receive the slightest NOAA satellite signal even though it uses a ham radio antenna

[@ManuelPinner]

That One of the Reason Why there is no Walmart in New York City! That Why I by from Ham Radio Outlet where They Sale the Real Ones,

[@tylerd947]

[@AK47z]

Same here! But I just ordered a legit one and returned the fake to them and still got my money back, shhhh just sayin.

[@ruggugglan]

What A Awsome Video, I Have Bought 6 Of The Fake Ones Sadly, Didn`t Know That They Are FAKE And You Know What?| At The End They Started To Just NOT WORK, I Was Not Able To get Even Local radio Stations, Nothing, But When I Transmitted It From the Sdr like 2 meters away, it received wich was crazy, dont ask about antenna, everything was good , just the sdr itself was bad, software, i have spent 20 hours in total trying to get it fixed and work properly, but no luck. Today I Ordered The blog version FROM THE WEBSITE that lead me to the ebay and seller naame was (rtl-sdr-blog) And I Think NOW Im Solid, CANT WAIT To Get my Hands On The REAL DEAL, I Have So Many Antennas In Attic ANd So Many AAntennas I Want To test On It. Btw, I Have A Question, Can I Use Any Active Antenna On This Sdr? Would That Hurt It In Any Way? Second, I Will Try To Make A Cooler For The Device, I Will Make USB Working Fan For It So When I Will Plug In The SDR Itself, There Will be Another Usb Plug That Will Turn On The Fan, I Have Supersmall Fans, I WantTo Drill Holes To The SDR Case And Just Put The Fan There And Introduce Airflow To It, I Think That Will Help And That Thermal Paste Is Good To, But WITH This Mod It Will Live Much Longer I Think, RIGHT? Everything for it will be on the youtube page of mine, if you want to se such things, just subscribe, i will have many many things to come. this video is really good, shows actually whats what, really really good video. :) People need to STOP Buy them fake ones.. You have a blessed day Art Lashbrook :) 73 73
