AMSAT-UK's FUNcube satellite project, the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ is the "ground segment", or a radio receiver designed to allow anyone to try their hand at reception of satellites like FUNcube anywhere on Earth as part of a global educational collaboration project collecting information from space. The FUNcube Dongle Pro+ isn't just an enhancement it's a total re-design from the ground up.

The NEW FUNcube Dongle Pro+ plugs into your computer's USB port. It's compatible with many radio reception programs like Rocky, M0KGK, Spectravue and LinRad. The FUNcube Dongle also works with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 both x86 and x64. In addition, it is compatible with Linux and MacOS as it uses standard USB drivers already integrated into the operating system.

The new Pro+ gives unlimited access to the frequency range 150kHz to 1900MHz. (250-410MHz ommitted)

It's also all-mode: this means that it's not just limited to narrow band FM reception. As well as data, the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ will also receive many other narrow band signals including AM, FM and SSB. It now has amazing performance on 2m & 70cm thanks to high performance (and expensive SAW filters fitted on board.)
