Be aware: it doesn’t transmit, though; receive only. Understood, didn't think it could at that small size, LOL! I've an elderly gentleman friend who's also a stroke victim that I've been looking for a solution to his receiving HF band for awhile now. He's living with his daughter who just moved into a new home of course HOA controlled. I'm going to figure out how to build, or just buy him an Active Antenna (MFJ makes a decent one, albeit pricey) and use that with the Ham-it-Up upconverter and the SDR Dongle. Fortunately he can still use a computer pretty well and I can set him up so that I can help him using TeamViewer.

Got nuked, huh? That’s what happens when you dangle your dongle.

Thanks for the tip on this! Mine came in the mail today, and the upconverter too. Just waiting on cables / adapters so I can hook it to my various antennae.

Is there a Zadig for Dummies page? I am getting nowhere with it, much less the SDR application.
