Hi Iban, They do work, but you must realise they
are not intended as radio receivers, and in many aspects their performance as
radios is compromised by their design as line measuring instruments. Problems
include IMD and lack of front end filtering, some lack audio output. Yes you can
get round this or you can be lucky that you location and antenna help
mitigate the problems.
You might be better to consider an SDR these days
but make sure it really cover the frequencies of interest. Graham G0NBD has
information on direct sampling mods to the DVT-B dongles. In Europe there are a
lot more LF signals from very strong stations than in the US so be careful of US
opinions that rate these as receivers. I have a couple of W&G units which
while useful as test equipment are less than brilliant and barely worth
their cost as receivers.

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a 3586C. Somebody is using it?
Can give-me feedback about to use in 136 and 477 kHz?
Thanks for advance
