Do I have a V3 or older version
Do I have a V3 or older version
My str-sdr blog's case doesn't say v3, in that area (bottom left)' it has a empty (square symbol) then the words bias tee enabled ? If this is a older version then, Is there a direct sampling hardware hack for this dongle and does the empty square mean it isn't bias tee ready?

If it has the square then you have a V2 dongle.chuckinnc wrote:My str-sdr blog's case doesn't say v3, in that area (bottom left)' it has a empty (square symbol) then the words bias tee enabled ?

On a V2 you will need to manually enable the bias tee by soldering the jumper pads together.
V2 also doesn't have direct sampling built in, but there are easy to access direct sampling pads on the PCB and you can attach a wire antenna to it.
