I bought one several months ago, albeit haven’t used it much yet. My one concern is how hot it ran when I first plugged it in, you may want to get a case for it.

I purchased the aluminum case along with my LimeSDR. A few months ago, I figured out how to use trunk-recorder, and the Lime has been my police/EMS radio scanner ever since. It's been running almost nonstop for months, and I haven't noticed any issues -- even as it remained hot to the touch for all those months.

Oh yea, it does run pretty hot! I made a case for it from an electronics project case I had laying around, and even with that it is toasty. If I was building something that was going to be running of for a long time a 3d printed case with support for a small fan would be helpful.
