Looking for an SDR

Post by ian »

Hi I'm on the look out for an SDR like Malachite SDR2 or V5 . Seen loads of video on YouTube but still not sure what to look out for I've heard some are clones and to avoid them but how can I tell which are good and which are bad without trying them can someone please help explain.

Somehting I'd love to get into... Bought one a few years back, its still in the shed in its packaging! haha. Just a cheap one mind, nothing flash.

They seem to be quite prevalent now. I too have heard cautions over lower quality Chinese clones mind

I think SDR is the way to go seen load of videos on YouTube but still not sure which one to go for. Might leave it for a bit till I know what I'm looking for exactly.
