USB RTL-SDR Receiver – RTL2832U + FC0012 22–948.6 MHz

Turn your computer into a software defined radio receiver and explore FM radio, airband, marine VHF and other signals with compatible SDR software and a suitable antenna. This USB receiver combines the Realtek RTL2832U demodulator with a Fitipower FC0012 tuner, making it suitable for radio listening, signal exploration and supported digital decoding applications. The FC0012 offers a typical SDR tuning range of approximately 22–948.6 MHz. The RTL2832U outputs 8-bit I/Q samples, with a maximum theoretical sample rate of 3.2 MS/s. Lower sample rates may be required to avoid dropped samples, depending on the computer and USB connection. Actual frequency coverage depends on the software and receiver implementation. Applications FM broadcast radio. Aircraft voice communications within the airband. Marine VHF radio and AIS decoding. Amateur radio reception within the supported frequency range. Compatible wireless sensor and remote-control signals. Learning about radio signals and SDR software. Reception and decoding depend on the antenna, available signals and software used.
