Review: Hmmmm ! - Great little device.... some assembly instructions would have been nice but youtube had all the answers. In my opinion the manufacturer would do well to include some freeware just so folks could get it up and running right away and not have to spend hours searching the internet but once you have it sorted out its a great device to work with. I opted for the whole bundle to include the "Ham it up box" because I wanted access to the ham bands.... and it works really well.... with a decient antena....and when you have figured out that you have to modify the software to operate on those frequencies. All in all.... a good piece of kit.... have to say though...the dongle does run a little hot for my likings ...... but so far so good. Ariel wise..... depends largely on your location... if you can erect an outside ariel....DO SO !!.... unfortunately I am stuck with indoor ariels but with a little research on youtube I was able to construct a really good sensitive unit that does the job nicely.....spend some time researching ariels and how they work .... it will pay off and you will end up with a neat little dongle that turns into a powerfull and versitile srd radio. Review: Impressive kit let down very slightly by a dodgy pigtail - This is a very nice little starter kit for VHF/UHF/HF SDR. Over the years I've looked for various ways to combine my old late 1980s/early 1990s hobby of scanning and SWLing with my lifetime love of computers, but all the solutions were either technically problematic (powerful computers and sensitive receivers aren't the best of friends) or ridiculously costly. Not any more. Not only are kits like this inexpensive for what they deliver, the availability of software like Spyserver combined with a cheap Raspberry Pi or similar allows you to keep all the RF stuff far away from the electromagnetic maelstrom of the desktop computer, and just enjoy the experience of dipping in and out of nearly 2GHz of spectrum from the comfort of your favourite office chair. I've been waiting 30 years for this. Make no mistake, even armed with some prior knowledge and research there is a very steep learning curve with this gear as various other reviews both positive and negative will testify. Even if you follow all of the FAQs and YouTube tutorials and dedicate fifty browser tabs to searching, there may be times when you come unstuck. I certainly did. But if you have a decent grounding (pardon the pun) in radio and computer technology and aren't afraid to tinker and search, you will be rewarded. The hardware and software will do pretty much anything you ask of it, as long as you ask in the right way... The only operational gripe is having to swap between my exterior HF and wideband antennas when switching the Ham-It-Up's conversion on or off. This isn't the hardware's fault of course, just a consequence of the very different requirements of HF, but it's worth noting as it's obviously one of the few things that can't be done in software. It's especially annoying if your hardware is remote from your workstation. At some point I'm almost certainly going to buy a second one of these, dongle only, so I can dedicate it permanently to the HF bands and just switch sources in SDR# which has fast become my software of choice. The only thing that makes me question the long-term quality of this kit (hence the one-star drop; it would only drop half a star if I could) is that one of the centre pins of the pigtail connector broke off in the dongle the first time I removed it. It wasn't the end of the world -- it turned out I didn't need the pigtail and I was able to easily remove the errant pin from the dongle's socket -- but it gave me pause to think about other possible quality issues. SMA aren't always the most robust connectors in the world, but I'd expect even the poorest connector to survive more than one insertion. Still, at time of writing everything else is working fine, and in the space of a long, sometimes exasperating but ultimately rewarding, weekend I've gone from knowing next to nothing about SDR to having the sort of PC-based wideband receiving setup I've been dreaming about for decades. Isn't technology wonderful? ## Features - A full, wide-band RF solution for those interested in getting started with software defined radio and with a keen interest in HF bands - The NESDR SMArt HF Bundle utilizes a well-designed upconverter--the Ham It Up--to receive HF, NOT direct sampling hacks. This results in a vastly different HF experience--much better performance, and no loss of gain controls - Included is a Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter, installed in a custom black aluminum enclosure; an NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR, 3 antennas, an impedance matching balun for longwire and dipole antennas, and interconnect adapters - Proudly manufactured by NooElec in the USA and Canada, with a full 2 year product warranty on all bundle components and 24/7 technical support availability.

As long as it is not encrypted, and within the 100kHz-1.7GHz specified range, you can receive most anything. The only thing you would need to add is an HF antenna (a balun is included, so this can be as simple as a longwire or dipole antenna made from spare wire). Thanks for your interest and support! **Q: Can this device transmit and receive (transreceiver)?** A: The SDR in this bundle (NESDR SMArt v4) is a receiver only and cannot transmit. You can transmit with the Ham It Up if you have an appropriate transceiver, but a transceiver is not included in this bundle. Thanks for your interest. **Q: Is this suitable for underground use... In particular, will it work in a 1000ft shaft if multiple repeaters are installed?** A: You would probably want to keep the antenna above ground, but I guess it depends on where the signals are that you are trying to receive.

A further 5 minutes later I was listening to Shanwick on HF USB. The only tiny issue is that the aerial proved for ADSB is great but there is no HF aerial provided and I am struggling to find a suitable aerial for good HF reception. However an old VHF mag-mount is doing a reasonable job. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nooelec NESDR Smart HF Bundle: 100kHz-1.7GHz Software Defined Radio Set for HF/UHF/VHF Including RTL-SDR, Assembled Ham It Up Upconverter, Balun, Adapters - SMA Adapter Connectivity Kit: 8 Adapters for NESDR (RTL-SDR) SMA Radios w/Case - DHT Electronics Handheld Antenna Cable SMA Male to UHF SO-239 Female Connectors 6'' Pack of 2 for Amplifier --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/50815921-nooelec-nesdr-smart-hf-bundle-100khz-1-7ghz-software-defined](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/50815921-nooelec-nesdr-smart-hf-bundle-100khz-1-7ghz-software-defined) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
