I bought a SMA to PL-259 female plug to use with the same dongle as you have. Screws right onto the dongle (plug-in) fitting, and allows a PL-259 male connection so it ca be connected to an outside long-wire, or store bought/home-made antenna. I also have SMA splitter wires, where I can connect both an HF antenna, and a VHF/UHF antenna to the dongle at the same time. Was cheap, and with less work. I also have a 4 bay, USB power hub that runs off household power, leaving the USB port on computer free with extra added USB ports to hook-up other things. It both powers the Dongle, as well as acts as an extended hub to computer with extra USB hook-up ports. Hub can power up all the ports, or you can turn off the power to each port, singularly, one, by one, and use the computer's power to run what you have plugged in the hub. With the hub, I can run the dongle, up-to 10 ft. away from the computer and every item connected in it, gets full power.
I have a 3 yr old NooElec setup which I could not use due to a then laptop which refused to instal any software. NooElec has been residing on a shelf for the last 3 years pretty much forgotten. I now have a new and problem free laptop. I think its time for old man Noo to come down from the shelf sometime soon. I hope you show more on this at another time.
You got to let that type of sdr dongle breath if the chip inside those get to hot the frequency will drift all over the place you're putting a piece of tape over the largest vent that thing has some sdr dongles have aluminum cases
Toolshed dont help if you dont know how to ues the tool's... it looks like you are afriad of the tool.... or is it cramps in you triggerfinger? But hey... if it works for you, go for it :)

Sounds like a plan, but i also like the way i built mine as well.
excellent video shows how using left-over parts can make a new piece of equipment for a shortwave or ham shack

Breath, that box was so big and empty inside, you could place your SUBWAY sandwich in there!
Is NooElec NESDR Mini 2 SDR capable for transmiting signals???
Not sure... maybe ???
No it cant transmit only recieve signals
Needs usb cable splitting so the sdr has it's own power source.
The USB from the computer supplies the 5vdc to run the device, why split it?
@@Radionut63 True enough but where you're hooked up to a tablet or phone, it flattens the internal battery rapidly. These dongles get noticeably hot.
@@Ralphs-House Mine did not seem to get a bit hot, not even warm. Still working just fine.
