<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?<SPAN

<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.
