About this item

  • A full, wide-band RF solution for those interested in getting started with software defined radio and with a keen interest in HF bands. Frequency range is 300Hz-2.3GHz (with a frequency gap near 1.1GHz)
  • The NESDR SMArt XTR HF Bundle utilizes a well-designed upconverter--the Ham It Up Plus v2--to receive HF, instead of utilizing a direct sampling hack as with most other low cost HF SDRs. This results in a vastly different HF experience--much better performance, and no loss of gain controls
  • Included is a Ham It Up Plus v2 upconverter, installed in a custom black aluminum enclosure; an NESDR SMArt XTR RTL-SDR, 3 antennas, an impedance matching balun for longwire and dipole antennas, and interconnect adapters and cables
  • Only available for a limited time! Due to the frequency gap this is NOT recommended for ADS-B. Instead try our NESDR SMArt HF Bundle (Amazon product code B0747PX3NZ)


For full product details and specifications, please visit the product pages at nooelec.com

Included:

  • Ham It Up Plus upconverter, assembled in silver aluminum enclosure. Free assembled noise source circuit which can be used for all sorts of RF testing applications!
  • NESDR SMArt XTR SDR bundle including custom antenna base w/ low-loss RG-58 cable & 3 antenna masts
  • Balun One Nine v1 antenna balun for longwire and dipole HF antennas
  • Male SMA to male SMA pigtail cable, 15cm, w/ RG-316 cable
  • Male SMA to male SMA barrel adapter
  • Male SMA to female F-connector (US TV connector) adapter
  • Male SMA to female Belling-Lee (EU TV connector) "PAL" adapter

    Ham It Up Operation:

    • Connect your antenna to the RF input
    • Connect your SDR to the IF output
    • Ensure your toggle switch is in the enable position
    • Plug your USB power source into the USB-B USB jack
    • Fire up your favorite SDR software. Tune to 125MHz + (+/- the tuning offset from the tuning procedure) + your desired frequency and enjoy!

I’m enjoying exploring the world above 70cms. Very easy to setup and use, if you keep track of what you are trying to achieve. I’m receiving NOAA Satellites, examining unknown signals.and even listening to broadcast AM and FM. Worth the money.

I have used the Nesdrsmart xtr with SDR#, CubicSDR, and SDRConsole (V3) and it works fine.You will have to instal the drivers not supplied. I have not used the Ham it Up much but it also works. When you use the Ham it Up you will have to enter a offset in to the software of -125000000 so the software displays the correct frequency. I have not used the aerials supplied with the kit.overall I am happy with my purchase.

Hatte zuvor den alten Noolec von 2020 + Ham it up -> damit war ich schon zufrieden.Hier die Version ist nochmals um einiges besser, ich komme um die ganze Welt mit Möbiusloop aus RG213 (kein verstärker oder Balun notwendig) und Drahtantenne mit 1:64 Balun (die ist aber 40 Meter lang - nicht für jeden geeignet) -> funktioniert aber auch mit dem mitgelieferten Balun, dann aber nur auf dem 40 80 160 Meter Band.Ab 5 Meter Band habe ich eine gekaufte, aktive Antenne -> geht mit dem Smart XTR 1A.Paket ist wirklich gut! ich bin sehr zufrieden.Hinweis: Die NSDR/Noolec Homepage -> Ihr findet dort alle Erklärungen und Einstellungen zu den einschlägigen SDR Programmen, ich benutze HDSDR -> für mich das beste Programm (neben SDRRuno) es setzt einfach m besten die Signale um......

There are people who say this thing doesn't work.Mine works great. I've used it without the up-converter to listen to emergency radios, and local 2meter ham repeater users, NOAA weather, FM radio, FRS radio, etc. I've used it with the up-converter to listen to shortwave radio from Cuba (I'm very far from Cuba), AM radio, and hams on 80, 40, and 20 meter bands talking over 1000 miles away. I've picked up FT8 traffic from half the planet. I did it all on a Linux laptop with some wire in the trash pile (that seems to be really good on 40 meter).BUT.You have to figure out / already know about a lot of radio stuff. The antennas matter. I strung about 10 meters of junk wire to the balun, and i grounded the other wire (no idea if that's the right way). It took me a lot of experimenting with antenna wires and the included antennas to figure out what would work for which band, etc. Nothing in this kit (or on their website) will help you with this. Lots of googling and youtube and pdfs. And you need to know some frequencies to listen around.Also, the software you use makes a huge difference. On linux I tried gqrx, cubicSDR, sdr++, and SigDigger. Not all of them make it clear where to put the -125 MHz when you are using the up-converter. They all have different options and terminology. So you have to play with several software suites to find one you can figure out with the upconverter.Lastly, you are likely to use this SDR kit where your computer is, which is probably bathed in wifi and other sources of interference. that's not really the kit's fault.So if you see someone say "i plugged this thing in and there was nothing but noise" keep in mind it's not that easy. You have to do some work. But I can tell you for sure it CAN work. I use mine all the time. A great way to learn about radio.

The usb receiver works fine, however the antennas are very poor quality and very fragile. I consider that it is an expensive product given the poor quality of the accessories, I recommend buying them separately and from another manufacturer of better quality.

The hardest obstacle I have had with this was figuring out how to use the balum. I ground one leg of the balum to ground, and the other one to a 100' piece of wire stretched 30' high out to my trees in the backyard. Another fight was finding the right software to use with it. I started using SDR++ and after playing around with it and a lot of youtube videos, I think I am starting to figure it out. Also, if you have a big spike in the center of your display, do a search for DC Spike with the SDR software you plan on using to see how to get rid of it. Once I got rid of the spike, the radio has been a lot of fun.Being a ham operator, I find this bundle fun to play around with, but there is so much more you can do with it besides scanning ham bands with the correct antenna. Discone antennas are good from what I hear.

Could never get this to work. It does not come with instructions or a diagram for wiring the parts together. I downloaded the top two SDR software packages, and they did not work either. Completely worthless! I have a late model, top of the line HP laptop for this, so that can't be the trouble. Should work out of the box.

This kit is a total waste of money, if I were to buy again I would only buy the Ham It Up. The SDR radio portion works ok IMHO but no better than the SDR radio I already own. The Ham It Up does seem to work but I have my doubts how well it actually works. The antenna accessories are not really very helpful and provided very little to my success with the Ham It Up. Overall a fun toy to experiment with and help me learn the fascinating SDR world as long as you don’t expect to much out of the experience.
