FUNcube Dongle Pro+

The FUNcube Dongle is available in two versions: the entry-level model, and the Pro version. The entry-level model provides access to the satellite frequency band used by FUNcube and other satellites. The Pro version offers a wider frequency range, covering 64 to 1700MHz with a gap between 1100MHz and 1270MHz.

The FUNcube Dongle Pro+ is a software-defined radio (SDR) developed by Howard Long of Hanlincrest Ltd as a low-cost ground receiver for the FUNcube satellite project, initially supported by AMSAT-UK and the Radio Communications Foundation (RCF). While the device has various applications, the primary goal of the project is to encourage young people to explore radio, space, physics, and electronics through practical demonstrations.
