For local stations a v3 will probably suit you.
If you get a little critical then an upconverter will be better.
By the time you've bought those then you are not far away from the cost of an Airspy which, providing 700Khz bandwidth is acceptable, is about as good you'll get for the price.

A simple Google for "Nooelec GOES Weather Satellite RTL-SDR Bundle" brings me quickly back to this site where there is a good tutorial.

All radios/converters will have at least one oscillator that may drift. So you have two. How much does it drift? How much stability do you want? The RTL is more likely to drift the most although the converter will as well. A temperature controlled oscillator (TCXO) will usually satisfy most. The V3 ...

The one intended for HDSDR is here http://www.hdsdr.de/hardware.html and maybe the later one linked has more features?
The HDSDR one is integrated, maybe the later one is not.
It probably depends on whether you are satisfied with the integrated one or want features offered by the other.

If you are happy using on-line resources then you do not need one.

I'm no expert but the V3 from this site seems guaranteed.
Unless you have a reliable recommendation I'd think waiting would be best.
My guess is that all good ones will be sold..

It is not an unknown company https://www.radioenthusiast.co.uk/news/ ... b-is-back/
But not too popular, it looks as if it just duplicates keyboard keys, a tuning know might be provided cheaper, Griffin?.

Look at the Airspy group, and the download page notes.
There are ongoing changes.
Alan

Depends on the software you use.
HDSDR can slow down to 24 hours or more.

Seeing your comment with more information on another thread, do you not even look at the Airspy group?
This has been discussed and cured.
