Our take on the Nooelec NESDR SMArt XTR HF Bundle 300Hz-2.3GHz Software Defined Radio Set

A USB software defined radio bundle built around Nooelec's NESDR SMArt XTR receiver, with an HF upconverter and antenna accessories to cover roughly 300 Hz to 2.3 GHz. The aluminum-cased receiver runs off USB and connects through SMA for RF input and an IF output. At $89.95 at Nooelec as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of what the three stores listing it new charge.

Pros
  • Covers HF through 2.3 GHz with the included upconverter
  • Aluminum case and SMA connectors are sturdier than plastic dongles
  • USB-powered, no separate supply needed
  • Bundle includes the HF antenna hardware so it works out of the box
  • Small footprint, easy to move between computers
Cons
  • HF reception depends heavily on antenna placement and noise floor
  • Needs a computer and SDR software; not a standalone radio
  • TCXO stability is good but not lab-grade
  • Weak signals need filters or a better antenna to shine

Questions and answers

Does it really receive HF without extra hardware?
Yes. The bundle includes an HF upconverter so the receiver can tune below 30 MHz, down to about 300 Hz. You still need a decent HF antenna for good results.
What software does it work with?
It works with common SDR programs such as SDR# and SDR++ on Windows, and with GQRX or similar on Linux and Mac. Drivers are usually installed through Zadig on Windows.
Is it good for ADS-B aircraft tracking?
Yes. The receiver covers 1090 MHz, so with an ADS-B antenna and decoding software it works well for tracking aircraft.
What is in the box?
The NESDR SMArt XTR receiver, an HF upconverter, and HF antenna hardware for longwire or dipole use, plus a short USB cable.
Is $89.95 a good price?
It is the lowest of the three new listings as of November 5, 2026, so it is a fair price for the bundle. Watch for sales if you are not in a hurry.
Can I use it with an Android device?
Yes, with a USB OTG adapter and a compatible SDR app, though a computer gives more software options.
Where is the Nooelec NESDR SMArt XTR HF Bundle 300Hz-2.3GHz Software Defined Radio Set cheapest?
