HamGeek B210 VS HamGeek B210 PRO USRP B210 Software-Defined Radio Devices
From https://www.hgeek.com/products/hamgeek-b210-b210-pro-70mhz-6ghz-sdr-transceiver-software-defined-radio-replacement-for-usrp-b210?variant=45979339554981 (23/11/2025)
HamGeek B210 VS HamGeek B210 PRO:
1. The HamGeek B210 PRO, the newer version, consumes slightly more power than the previous HamGeek B210. However, when an external power supply is used, it does not draw power from the USB port, so the difference is negligible.
2. HamGeek B210, the complete version, uses the same schematic design as the official version. If you plan to develop at the hardware level, please choose the HamGeek B210.
3. The B210 PRO supports UHD version 3.0 and above, while the HamGeek B210 supports all versions.
4. All other functions of the two versions are identical.

HamGeek B210:
1. Description:
Its software package has also been completed, including for MATLAB2020A, UHD, GNURADIO, GQRX, URH, AUDACITY. Users can use this product directly under a virtual machine that has been converted to various software, or install the software using the tutorials we provide.
In addition, there are excellent projects such as open source projects for SRSLTE, GR-AIR-MODES, and GPS-SDR-SIM. We also provide detailed software packages and installation steps, as well as getting started steps.
2. Features:
– Small and portable. It can be powered by usb cable, and can even be used outdoors only for a notebook computer.
– Using usb3.0 interface, the product is plug and play. Also compatible with usb2.0 interface. Compared with other models for USRP, it does not use Gigabit Ethernet or fiber ports, and does not increase network configuration overhead or configuration difficulty.
– The radio frequency range is 70Mhz~6Ghz, which meets most of test requirements; the baseband sampling rate can be as high as 61mhz. To sum up the above two indicators, it can be used for FM broadcast reception and transmission, ofdm modulation and demodulation reception and transmission, and a series of applications in 4G mobile phone base stations.
– Support for Gnuradio, and a large number of components and examples for Gnuradio are available.
– Using the uhd driver as the middleware, you can easily write your own programs for efficient driving (out of the software toolkit for Gnuradio). There is a lot of open source software that does this, such as for gqrx radio, urh signal detection, openbts wireless base stations, etc.
– This model is the most cost-effective product in the series for USRP, and therefore has a broad mass base: hundreds of high-quality open source applications that can live freely on GitHub and other open source sites, such as for gps-sdr-sim, srslte, openbts, etc.; it is easy to find solutions for the problems encountered by individuals in using these development software.
– The fully synchronized 2T2R mode can be set, so that MIMO applications can be realized, or two different RF inputs can be received and processed at the same time, and two RF signals with different baseband waveforms can be output at the same time.
3. More Information:
Various tests confirm that the performance is no different from the original! Users are welcome to compare and test and publish the results.
We designed this product according to schematic diagram and board for ETTUS Research. During the design process, we studied every element and every wire. The material selection and impedance control of the board were also paid attention to during the production of the PCB. We fully consider various details such as electromagnetic compatibility, high frequency performance, power supply decoupling and impedance matching.
We supplemented the power supply part, so its performance is better.
– Supported frequency: 70Mhz-6Ghz
– TX port: two
– RX port: two
– USB3.0 interface
– DC interface (6v). If GPSDO is not used and only single-channel transceiver is used, no external power supply is required. If GPSDO or dual-channel transceiver is to be used, an external power supply is required.
– 6 XC6SLX150 FPGA for Spartan
– AD9361 dual-channel RF transceiver chip supports a maximum sampling rate of 61.44Mhz/s
– Support for UHD, GNURADIO, OPENBTS, OPENBTS-UMTS, SRSLTE, openairinterface, gps-sdr-sim; use the dual channel transceiver of B210 to support for openbts dual bts, one board supports dual bts
