Low-cost 24MHz-1.85GHz Software Defined Radio

Essex radio amateur Pete Sipple M0PSX picked up a Realtek RTL2832U Radio & TV Dongle for £18 at the Rainham Rally.

By simply installing some additional software he was able to covert it into a multi-mode receiver covering from 24MHz-1.85 GHz.

He notes that the Dongle can be bought on Amazon for as little as £14.
