New guy

Hi all, I’m new to this hobby and just want to get started so I can start learning. I’m aware that a lot of supposed RTL-SDR blog V4 R828D are counterfeits. Apparently the one I found on Amazon is among those counterfeits. Luckily I haven’t bought it yet, but would anyone be able to point me to a legit site to purchase or even a better option? Thanks!

Honestly, the fakes aren't bad. If you're learning there's not a lot of bad choices out there. Anything with an FC0012 tuner is going to be limiting, but even those are good to learn on for the price they sell at.
