Just a quick update... I was so impressed with the RTL I purchased a FunCube Pro +. Also a lot easier to get up and running as it is plug and play with SDR console V2. This weekend a friend modified my Icom 746 pro to have an output to connect my SDR dongal to. Basically the RX line is split...

#Highland Ranger Antennas. As with any radio it is the antenna that makes all the difference. I do not have good HF antennas up as my interests lay above 6m. I am using different antennas based on the frequency I am listening to. For 144 MHz and above I am using an M25WL Yagi. For around 50...

There are also similar apps out there for Androids. I have yet to try one but here is an example. [APP][2.2+] SDR Touch - Live radio on your Android device - xda-developers

#M42Duster I will try to work out how. Just joined this site today so as to help out with SDR questions. So not 100% au fait with the site. If not I will put up a step by step and info on where to find them. First time takes a little bit of working out after that it is OK so that was easy.....

Hi Garth. No problem. I figured I had put in the hours finding all the links and info why should you have to :) I am still amazed at how good these $17 dongals are and wonder just how much better the "good" ones can be. I bought one of these... SPF 5043Z LNA Low Noise Amplifier Kit VHF...

RTL SDR Console Just a few comments to add to the thread. There are various SDR programs available but I suggest using SDR CONSOLE V2 (must be V2 as earlier versions do not support RTL dongal). Also SDR Console will, later this year, hopefully integrate with Ham Radio Deluxe. This means that...
