The DX Patrol 100 kHz to 2 GHz SDR receiver appears to be a custom built RTL-SDR with upconverter built in. It is made by CT1FFU who is also known to be a good manufacturer of upconverters for the RTL-SDR. The DX Patrol SDR can be bought for 79 Euros at CT1FFU’s website. It’s features are as follows:

Ultra Wide-band Coverage SDR Receiver

Full coverage reception form 100KHz to 2GHz SDR

Independent antenna inputs for Shortwave and VHF

USB computer connection ( mini usb)

Very High dynamic range receiver

Low noise pin-diode band switch

Accurate and efficient band filters

Very clean audio reception

SMA golden antenna connectors

LED power and band indication

40MHz local oscillator for HF conversion

DBM balance diode ring mixer

Small size board

Freeware software

Up to 3.2 M Sample rate.

We aren’t sure how this compares to a standard RTL-SDR with conventional upconverter, or direct sampling mode and we also aren’t sure about the truthfulness to their very high dynamic range claims as the RTL-SDR is known to have dynamic range that isn’t what could be called very high (8 bits ~ 50 dB).

Over on YouTube user OfficialSWLchannel has uploaded a video review. OfficialSWLchannel gives a generally positive review of the hardware.
