In support of requests for monitor stations ,
Listed are a set
of links to enable the £5 usb dongle to be used as SDR-RX , it will benefit
from preselectors / filters / pre-amps etc , but the initial out lay of £5
is minimal compared to the results and quality of the supporting software is
excellent , as well as the SDR )
Performance on HF is 'good' and benefits
from a ATU or better a pre-selector , The later dongle will cover 1500 MHz
down to 24MHz directly
A modification is needed to access the direct
sample mode , attaching a wire and cap .. the video listed is using the
wire+cap method , alternative is to use a transformer , taking care the core
is rated at the band is question
MF and down , the 'gain' falls off ,
I have good results using the 500k tx-atu , the Mini-whip Ae seem's to offer
a reasonable solution , and can be seen operating >
