## Description

FOR FULL DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS, PLEASE REVIEW THE PRODUCT PAGE AND DATASHEET AT NOOELEC.COMGet ready to revolutionize your radio experience with the Ham It Up Plus v2--an addon for your RTL-SDR or other radio that will allow you to extend the frequency capability down to 300Hz. This advanced version builds upon the success of its predecessor through a wide array of improvements, vastly outperforming any device remotely close to its price range. Ham It Up Plus v2 will provide a substantial 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. Its local oscillator is a 125MHz temperature-controlled oscillator (TCXO), ensuring high-accuracy tuning, every time. This means frequencies will be shifted higher by 125MHz when in upconvert mode, so it will work with any radio which can receive between 125MHz-190MHz, including transmitters and transceivers! The Ham It Up Plus v2 delivers exceptional performance improvements--and also looks great! We spent years redesigning the Ham It Up to minimize conversion loss, which translates to outstanding signal quality. It features filters that have been meticulously simulated, designed and tested to eliminate unwanted noise and interference, ensuring the signals received are of the highest possible quality. 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. Further, 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. Built like a tank in USA and Canada--and backed by a generous 2-year warranty for peace of mind.

Review: does exactly what it is advertised to do . . . - It's always a good experience when a product is ordered, and actually does what is claimed in the ad text, so I like to give credit where it's due. Yes, this upconverter costs a bit more than some of the mystery "clones" one might find on eBay, but as the saying goes, you do get what you pay for. My main ambition was to catch radio traffic in some of the HAM bands, but also in AM broadcast, SW, and so on. As for the Ham it Up unit, it took only a few minutes to get it set up and running. It's a very simple procedure (provided you already have your RTL-SDR or similar device installed and running), but no worries, there are numerous YouTube videos which give very good step by step instructions. The main criteria to know about is setting the tuning offset of your software to -125 MHz, to compensate for the upconverter. It's purpose is to compensate for the tuning limits of your RTL-SDR device, which cannot reach below 25 MHz. If not familiar, I would strongly suggest using the HDR# software, as this has a huge user base and lots of blog sites and YT videos one can refer to. You can also use HDSDR with similar results, I have used both. Aside from setting up the tuning parameters and some other details in the software, your biggest variable will likely be antennas. It's good to have several different antennas to select from, depending on what you're tuning in on, but even more importantly is where the antennas are and how they're positioned. This you'll just have to experiment around a bit with. But as for the NooElec Ham it UP itself, no complaints, does exactly what it should do. My only suggestion is to have an extra USB power cord handy (I run my USB power from an AC powered USB extension port), as the device does not ship with one.
Review: Works great. - Despite the desertcart driver throwing the package at my front door like a Frisby and nothing but a desertcart paper bag as protection (not a single layer of bubble wrap or cushioning), the unit is working great. My Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 SDR receive seems to be just as sensitive as my FT-2000 on the low bands now, 100% better than without the upconverter below 28MHz. Working great with SDR++, SDRSharp, and SDRUno so far. SDR++ has a preset for ham it up, the others you manually set the offset. Highly recommended.

## Features

- 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to listen to shortwave radio, and if so do you need to have an SDR connected?**
A: Yes, you can use this to listen to shortwave radio, and you do need to use it with a compatible SDR, like our NESDR series. Thanks for your interest!

**Q: will this transmit well for Amateur radio? 10 meter, 11 meter 2 meter?  what is required to be able to use this as a transmit/recieve unit? i have ANT**
A: The Ham It Up Plus is capable of transmitting when paired with a compatible transceiver, such as the HackRF One. Thanks for your interest!

**Q: What is the difference between this and the nano?**
A: Besides size, the Plus also has a built in noise source generator for testing RF equipment. The Nano also has the ability to be powered via bias tee.  Thanks!

**Q: Does it come with the necessary connectors for the nesdr mini? the mini has an mcx connector but i don't that connector in the photos.**
A: No, the adapters included in this bundle are not appropriate for the NESDR Mini. You would need a male-MCX to male-SMA adapter or pigtail cable to use it with that SDR. We have an adapter connectivity kit available that contains this adapter. It is available under part number: B073JT98RR on Amazon. Thank you for your interest!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality to improve
*by C***R on December 8, 2022*

UPDATE 11/26/2025 Noeelec ?! What could have happened to the quality control of their products? The photos speak for themselves. I bought the second version of their Up Converter out of curiosity, and it was a huge mistake. Not only were there loose screws in the package, but also a switch that will have a short life because it doesn't seem to release the electrical contact properly. Nooelec took charge of the problem and was serious and professional in solving the problem. My rating goes to 5 stars without any doubt. The unit, which this time was replaced directly by Nooelec, is now in perfect mechanical and electrical condition, and I can honestly tell you that it works perfectly. Nooelec, serious and professional as I have always been accustomed to. If you have any problems please contact them directly, there is something that escapes the quality control post Nooelec. The prof comes in a simple clear plastic bag which offers no mechanical protection. The metal case arrived marked with scratched surface treatment because the matching sma connectors are in the same plastic bag touching the metal case . Add that Amazon shipped the product in a simple plastic bag, this increases the chances that the product will be damaged during transport . Considering the price, it is necessary to make a packaging box. It works but the overall quality can be improved.
