NooElec Ham It Up Plus v2 - Extend The Range of Your RTL-SDR, NESDR or Other Radio Down to 300Hz. HF/MF/LF/VLF/ULF Upconverter and Panadapter w/TCXO & Switchable LNA/Passthrough Options
- The high-quality Ham It Up Plus v2 is an addon for your RTL-SDR or other radio that will allow you to extend the frequency capability all the way down to 300Hz. It is built like a tank in the USA and Canada and drastically outperforms every single similar device in its price class--and even devices far costlier!
- Ham It Up Plus v2 will provide a substantial, noticeable performance increase for low frequencies (300Hz to 65MHz in upconvert mode) with nearly every low cost radio and RTL-SDR in existence, whether they implement direct sampling circuits or built-in 'upconverter'-like circuitry
- Like Ham It Up v1, the Ham It Up can be placed in bypass mode with an on-board physical switch to access the higher bands of your radio without removing the Ham It Up from your signal chain
- Designed to be powered through the onboard microUSB port, whether from a PC or a wall adapter. For simplicity, Ham It Up Plus v2 does not require USB data or configuration, so it will not enumerate as a USB device when plugged into a computer
- Easy installation and compatibility with popular software defined radio (SDR) models. Ham It Up Plus v2 has a local oscillator frequency of 125MHz. This means it will shift frequencies higher by 125MHz when in upconvert mode, so will work with any radio which can receive between 125MHz-190MHz, including transmitters and transceivers!
- A built-in, HF-suitable low noise amplifier (LNA) circuit is included. This LNA can be bypassed with a physical switch for installations where an LNA is not required or a remote LNA placed close to a remote antenna is preferred
- Designed for professional and amateur radio operators, astronomy enthusiasts, wireless communication enthusiasts, and more
- A free male SMA to male SMA connector and male SMA to female BNC connector are included in your purchase
- Backed by a generous 2-year warranty for peace of mind

Major differences vs. Ham It Up v1.3:
- A 125MHz TCXO, custom built for exclusively for NooElec by our Japanese partner, is included and pre-installed, providing more accurate and stable tuning in any environment
- Ultra-low distortion ceramic capacitors, custom built exclusively for NooElec by our Taiwanese partner, allowed us to extend the range of the Ham It Up Plus all the way down to 300Hz
- The separate noise source circuit is fully assembled, which can be used for a number of RF projects, including calibration and tuning of filters, amplifiers and attenuators
- Form factor was kept identical to the Ham It Up, which means the same enclosure can be used (note a new end panel may be required to accommodate the additional SMA connector of the noise source circuit)
Operation:
- Connect your antenna to the RF input
- Connect your SDR to the IF output
- Ensure your toggle switch is in the enable position
- Plug your USB power source into the USB-B USB jack
- Fire up your favorite SDR software. Tune to 125MHz + (+/- the tuning offset from the tuning procedure) + your desired frequency and enjoy!
