Description

The Nooelec NESDR SMArt v5 Bundle is engineered as a complete entry point into software-defined radio, providing a robust hardware platform for RF exploration from longwave through UHF. Its core is the NESDR SMArt dongle, leveraging the ubiquitous RTL2832U USB interface chip paired with the sensitive R820T2 tuner, delivering reliable performance for applications like ADS-B, AIS, or analog broadcast reception. The inclusion of the Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter fundamentally improves HF band capability by shifting signals to a higher frequency where the R820T2 operates optimally, avoiding the noise and aliasing issues inherent in direct sampling methods.

Designed for both field portability and bench use, the kit’s accessories streamline antenna integration. The Balun One Nine provides proper impedance matching for longwire or dipole setups, while the low-loss RG-58 cable on a magnetic base offers a quick-deploy mobile antenna solution. The three included antennas and SMA adapters cover a broad range of frequencies, allowing users to immediately monitor everything from amateur radio to public safety bands without additional purchases. The entire system is powered via a standard 5V USB connection, making it compatible with laptops, Raspberry Pi, or portable battery banks for remote sensing operations.

Key Features

  • Complete SDR starter kit with dongle, upconverter, antennas, and all necessary RF adapters.
  • Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter enables high-fidelity reception of HF amateur radio, shortwave, and maritime communications.
  • Balun One Nine accessory provides 9:1 impedance transformation for efficient longwire and dipole antenna matching.
  • Magnetic antenna base with low-loss RG-58 coaxial cable for quick mobile mounting on vehicles or metal surfaces.
  • Premium milled aluminum enclosures for both the SDR dongle and upconverter ensure effective heat dissipation and RFI shielding.
  • Plug-and-play USB operation compatible with popular SDR software like SDR#, Gqrx, and GNU Radio.
  • Three versatile antennas included to immediately cover a wide spectrum of frequencies from HF to UHF.

Applications

  • Amateur radio and shortwave listening (SWL) across HF, VHF, and UHF bands.
  • Aviation telemetry and ADS-B aircraft tracking (1090 MHz).
  • Maritime AIS vessel monitoring and VHF marine band reception.
  • Spectrum analysis, signal hunting, and RF environment monitoring for compliance or education.
  • Receiving weather satellite imagery (NOAA, Meteor) and other digital radio modes (RTTY, FT8).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up the Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter with the NESDR SMArt for HF reception?

Connect your HF antenna to the 'Antenna In' port on the Ham It Up. Use a short SMA cable to link the upconverter's 'IF Out' to the NESDR SMArt's antenna input. Power both devices via their USB ports. In your SDR software, tune to your desired HF frequency plus the upconverter's fixed offset (typically 125 MHz). This shifts the HF signal into the optimal range of the R820T2 tuner for clean reception.

What software is compatible with this Nooelec RTL-SDR Blog bundle?

The kit is compatible with most popular SDR applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This includes SDR#, HDSDR, Gqrx, CubicSDR, and GNU Radio. You will need to install the appropriate RTL-SDR Blog drivers for your operating system. For the upconverter, no special drivers are required as it is an analog RF device. Simply configure your software's frequency offset to account for the upconverter's mixing frequency.

What is the purpose of the Balun One Nine included in the bundle?

The Balun One Nine is a 9:1 impedance matching transformer. It is used to efficiently connect a high-impedance, unbalanced longwire or random wire antenna (typically several hundred ohms) to the 50-ohm coaxial input of the SDR or upconverter. This improves signal transfer, reduces common-mode noise, and helps prevent RF interference from traveling back down the feedline, resulting in a clearer received signal.

Package Includes

  • 1 x Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter (assembled in black aluminum enclosure)
  • 1 x NESDR SMArt SDR bundle including custom antenna base with low-loss RG-58 cable
  • 1 x Balun One Nine
  • 3 x SMA adapters
  • 3 x Antennas
