Overview

High Performance Miniature SDR Dongle for All !

Airspy Mini builds on top of the successful Airspy R2 architecture to offer an affordable high performance receiver for the VHF and UHF bands. The coverage can be extended to the HF bands via the SpyVerter up-converter companion.

This new addition to the Airspy family is 100% compatible with all the existing software including the de facto scanning standard SDR#, but also a number of popular software defined radio applications such as SDR-Radio, HDSDR, GQRX and GNU Radio.

Extremely cheap

The cheapest packaging. And even saved on the SMA connector of an incomprehensible design, which I need to specially look for and order. A month has passed and I still can't use it because of the antenna connector.

A very good product

The Airspy is a very good tool for decoding radiosondes. It works very reliably and is of high quality.

Excellent Choice!

Being honest, I haven't hooked the airspy mini up yet but its my second one. The first one was defective and their customer service was amazing, One email and a new one was on the way. I hope the airspy mini is as good as their customer service, which I am sure it will be. Highly recommend!

The AIRSPY mini is just about perfect for Neutral hydrogen observations (1420.4MHz).

The AIRSPY mini is reliable, and has a pretty smooth band pass shape in 6 MHz bandwidth. The AIRSPY bias tee is powerful enough to drive the 1st LNAs I use. The only downside is that the mini gets fairly warm, which I think changes the gain a bit.

I highly recommend this SDR for use with Neutral hydrogen observations and the bandwidth well matches Galactic Neutral hydrogen frequency range. It is hard to see, but the AIRSPY mini is in the computer box, in the center of the Green Bank Summer Students with the radio telescope they built.

The Jury is Still Out

Unfortunately, this item did not work for me right out of the box. I had to go back to my original SDR dongle. When I get time, I intend to try again. I hope I can get it to work.

Hi, we already sent you an email to confirm the problem, please check and confirm us the details. Please don't worry, if a device problem, we will offer you the replacement.

Airspy Mini

The product works great and good service.

Device Is as expect

Amazing device

Used this to replace the FlightAware Pro Plus. Added an Uptronics LNA and filter and it’s night a day better. Works really well. Run my flight tracking in docker and was quick and easy to set up. Would/will buy another one when I set up another unit.

It just works.

I run a ADS-B feeder. I switched from NOOELEC to AirSpy. And the quiality of messages has improved drasticly and the range has also improved 5-10%. It just works.

Very good product !

I tested the Airspy and compared it to other RTL dongles. I can say that it is of very good quality. The price is higher than RTL dongles but the quality is there !
