<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Would you be able to suggest a really cool antenna 'that allows shortwave and the entire mhz band'. I prefer Ralink chipsets because they are what I know 'less about' for certain [rtl-61] native support under kernel 2.6.---.[I am a noob]. At this point why not look into a complete separate 'secondary nic' supporting this entire situation. Why have to use usb 'dongle' when one would prefer the entire device except 'Antenna's' to be in the box. Is it a software issue? <br><br>Thank you,<br><br>paul g <br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 22:57:22 -0500<br>From: erikerik@gmail.com<br>To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] off topic<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 2, 2014 at 7:12 PM, paul g <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pj.world@hotmail.com" target="_blank">pj.world@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The RTL-SDR dongle has a Ralink chipset maybe? So one would get many more channels than just am or fm talk radio by using that device? I pulled up the following website.</blockquote>
</div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br></div>Yes, they're technically capable of much more than just OTA TV, AM/FM Radio, etc. How easy it is to get that working is up for debate, though. Additionally, for any frequency band you want to receive, you'll need an antenna that's at least an approximate match for that band. You're not going to be able to receive shortwave on the little 700/800MHz antenna that ships with these. :)<br>
