See the Buy RTL-SDR dongles page for more information on purchasing. The best place to purchase RTL-SDR V3 dongles is directly from our store at ******* ******************************** Equipment GuideĬurrently, the most common RTL-SDR dongle is the R820T/R820T2/R860 which usually sells for around $30 USD. We cannot provide support for counterfeits and these do not help support the running of the blog and the design of new products. Those dongles use poorer quality components, are designed cheaply, and may not have all the V3 features. The dongles with blue or green cases or square rectangular silver cases with four screws per panel (eight total), or those advertised as 'Pro' are not ours. Opportunistic sellers are advertising all sorts of dongles under our brand ' RTL-SDR Blog'. RTL-SDR BLOG V3 BUYERS: PLEASE BE WARY OF COUNTERFEITERS.
