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.

A very efficient and portable SDR

I own a Airspy HF+ Discovery and a Airspy R2 which are on a fixed installation, and bought this Mini just to be able to bring it with me when I am in vacation.
It is a very well working unit and go high quality, as I expected to be.

Excellent device

The Airspy mini works really well with the GQRX program, does all I expected it to, but agree with other comments that it does run very hot under certain circumstances.>>>

Quality device with good support.

I have no hesitation in recommending the Airspy Mini. It works with many of the free SDR programs and offers good performance into the GHz range. You may need to calibrate the device yourself, and I would recommend a good GPS-locked source. I agree with the comment about needing a heatsink, and you may notice this especially when working above, say, 1.5 GHz or with higher sample rates on lower frequencies.

Excellent little receiver

Have been testing out the mini for a few weeks and it has exceeded my expectations.
Nice and small ,but very powerfull bit of kit..... highly recommended purchase.

Small in size but big in performance

I had been using Airspy HF+ Discovery and very satisfied with its performance. Mini is just as good except that I had to recalibrate the device by using airspycalibrate.exe.

Great small SDR

AIRSPY Mini is a very good SDR with great technical caracteristics (ADC, SNR, bandwidth, TCXO, bias tee, filters...).
I noticed improved reception for weak signals. It works great with improved SDR source integration in SDR# Studio.
The dongle is very compact, and heat dissipation could be improved for this product with perhaps external heatsinks option, and/or internal thermal pad.
For myself, I used two small DIL-IC heatsinks ("ICK 36 B" reference + thin dual side adhesive ) for coherent design and efficient result.

Very good

I exaggerated with my first opinion,
The switch inside Airspy mini was in the
wrong position, now Airspy mini works OK,
I think short instruction should placed in a box with device.
Now I am so happy that my Airspy mini works ok.
Last weekend I tested my Airspy mini,
I got signal from weather satellite Meteor M2,
flying maximum 9,4 degrees above the horizon
and I got good pictures of Northern Atlantic
with Iceland, Faroe Islands and small piece of Greenland
3000km from my house.
In the future I would like to get high resolution pictures from weather
satellite and much more.
