Vilros USB RTL-SDR & ASD-B Receiver

It was great for the price great for getting into SDR for only 15 bucks

Plug and play on both linux and windows systems. Wide frequency range.

It works great. Highly recommend.

Very awesome RTL-SDR & AFS-B receiver, it easy to download and then install it!

I was a little skeptical when I looked at the price, but this thing is great. I am using it to capture my data from my Acurite 5in1 weather station using weewx and it has not missed a beat.

I am getting another one for experimentation with other wireless devices....

Just bought this a month ago, works really well up to 1.4 GHz. That’s also inside a room with one window!!!
Definitely would recommend!

I bought this to plug into my Home Assistant server so that I can read my electric meter and water meter. It took a bit of trial and error to get it to do what I want in Home Assistant but I now have it running. I have already found that I have a water leak because I was using a couple of gallons per hour even overnight when nothing is using water. I found out that my automatic pool filler was leaking and got that fixed. So far it is working well!

Works great with all the apps that I tried and support responded to my question super fast. Within a day.

I have three of these devices now. They work great with the rlt-433 software running on a Raspberry Pi zero W.
The plastic case does not provide as much rf isolation as the devices with metal cases, but for my purpose they are just fine for half the price!
It should be noted that the six-inch jumper has an F-connector, not an SMA.

For those of us who are just learning how to use these, some instructions to set this up. As of this review I still cannot make it work.

I have used this device to help users setup a small ADS-B and can't recommend this enough.

Was curious if this would work with Piaware, as this device is much less expensive than the branded one from Flight Aware. This does work with piaware! Just follow the instructions on the flightaware/piaware site for installing the software/drivers, and it picks up this device. I didn't have to do any special config or load custom drivers. The included antenna works fine for me.

Plugged in and worked as advertised, even in bad location of house

this looks like a quality board, but i need to look up instructions on how to play with it.... it would be nice if vilros included a how to guide or links to example projects
