| 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 >
