The kit includes an RTL-SDR Blog V3 R860 (R820T2) / RTL2832U software-defined radio dongle and an ANT-868-WRT external panel-mount dipole antenna. The SDR features a highly stable 1 PPM TCXO, SMA connectivity, aluminum passive cooling, software-switchable bias tee, additional ESD protection, reduced noise, and built-in direct sampling for basic HF reception.

The included 868 MHz antenna is designed for LPWA and ISM-band applications such as LoRaWAN®, Sigfox®, remote control, sensing, monitoring, industrial equipment, automated systems, smart-home networking, and IoT devices. Its integrated counterpoise allows installation without an additional ground plane.
