<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 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.
