This codebase contains both the library itself and also a number of command line tools such as rtl_test, rtl_sdr, rtl_tcp, and rtl_fm. Most of the user-level packages rely on the librtlsdr library which comes as part of the rtl-sdr codebase. Much software is available for the RTL2832. If you find a device that is not yet in the device list but should be supported, please send the VID/PID and additional info (used tuner, device name) to our mailing list. People over at reddit are collecting a list of other devices that are compatible.

Terratec NOXON DAB/DAB+ USB dongle (rev 1) The following devices are known to work fine with RTLSDR software: VID Realtek never released a chip marked as RTL2838 so far. Note: Many devices with EEPROM have 0x2838 as PID and RTL2838 as product name, but in fact all of them have an RTL2832U inside. Tunerĥ2 - 2200 MHz with a gap from 1100 MHz to 1250 MHz (varies)Ģ2 - 1100 MHz (FC0013B/C, FC0013G has a separate L-band input, which is unconnected on most sticks)ġ46 - 308 MHz and 438 - 924 MHz (gap in between)

The frequency range is highly dependent of the used tuner, dongles that use the Elonics E4000 offer the widest possible range (see table below). A stable sample-rate of 3.2 MS/s without lost samples is only possible with the Etron EJ168/EJ188/EJ198 series of host controllers due to their specific maximum latency. The RTL2832U outputs 8-bit I/Q-samples, and the highest theoretically possible sample-rate is 3.2 MS/s, however, the highest sample-rate without lost samples that has been tested wit regular USB controllers so far is 2.4 MS/s. Antti Palosaari has not been involved in development of rtl-sdr.

The possibility of this has been discovered by Eric Fry ( History and Discovery of RTLSDR). DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR, since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation.
