The latest version includes the noise source feature pre-assembled apart from the output connector and a power enable link. This makes it much more useful, 'straight out of the box', but for the price charged, I'd have expected the missing parts to be included. I haven't tried it as a receiver for the amateur HF bands yet, because it needs at least another 10dB of gain to work straight from a 'standard' antenna. I'm now designing a suitable pre-amp to make, because there isn't anything available at a sensible price. It's also a nuisance having to use a second USB port to power this unit, when I expected it to be fed through the output connector, from the USB module, like a powered antenna. The user documentation doesn't include a schematic diagram either, so I will need to 'reverse engineer' the design to add a power supply 'tee'. Despite these criticisms, I think the unit is well designed and will be a valuable addition to my shack. Graham ( M0GRP ).Read full review

This builds on the already good version 2 Ham It Up, with useful extras such as the LEDs and fully populated noise source (just add connector and a jumper). Mine is working very well with an active loop and a Nooelec NESDR. Sure, there is no preamp so you have a conversion loss around 10 dB, but in HF it's external noise rather than receiver noise figure which dominates. Hence this is a good solution which will hold its own against a dedicated HF receiver, plus you can transmit QRP through it. Nice well thought out gadget, and the oscillator is nice and stable.

Hello somewhere on the web I read about the USB-format on the HF band (1 to 30 MHZ) digital radio (DRM) Thus, using UPCONVERT 125 MHZ V1.3 and RTL SDR RADIO (RTL 2832U) DRM RECEIVING MADE FROM MANY COUNTRIES.

Had a small issue of a solder blob across the switch causing non function but was easily removed and now works a great, highly recommended. I also suggest you purchase the matching enclosure.

This is a great quality Upconverter in combination with NESDR SMART - Premium RTL-SDR. I recommend purchasing NESDR SMART - Premium RTL-SDR and housing for the converter. Especially for radio amateurs. Chinese RTL SDR DVB-T dongle do not have the quality and frequency stability as products from this company. Besides sending it fast and safely. Excellent packed and all high quality.
