View on Amazon.comor
- A full, wide-band RF solution for those interested in getting started with software defined radio and with a keen interest in HF bands
- The NESDR SMArt HF Bundle utilizes a well-designed upconverter--the Ham It Up--to receive HF, NOT direct sampling hacks. This results in a vastly different HF experience--much better performance, and no loss of gain controls
- Included is a Ham It Up v1.3 upconverter, installed in a custom black aluminum enclosure; an NESDR SMArt RTL-SDR, 3 antennas, an impedance matching balun for longwire and dipole antennas, and interconnect adapters
- Proudly manufactured by Nooelec in the USA and Canada, with a full 2 year product warranty on all bundle components and 24/7 technical support availability. Please contact our support team any time if you have questions!
- Amazon-exclusive bundle! Only available for a limited time. NOTE: enclosure colors may vary contingent on availability

Specs:
Secret messages for spies; weather maps and satellite imagery; tracking information for aircraft hundreds of miles away; old men discussing their medical problems in Morse code; GPS signals at 0.1 femtowatts that are easily decoded through the magic of digital signal processing; Cuban propaganda and crazy preachers on shortwave; pager messages containing a shocking amount of unencrypted private medical information; mysterious radar systems; atmospheric research devices; police, fire, EMS, commercial, military, rail, marine, and ATC chatter. Most of which I have received from my backyard with a $90 SDR kit and a long bit of wire. The electromagnetic spectrum is vast, and wandering around it has become a kind of meditative activity for me.
With a technician license you have very few HF options for transmitting. But I would recommend one of the SoftRock SDR Kits:

For a more robust option on the receive only side I recommend an RTL-SDR dongle:
