64-1700Mhz SDR Reciver
Below is the info on the DTV dongle I'm using as a cheap SDR receiver from 64 to 1700 MHz.
I ordered my DTV dongle from http://dx.com/p/mini-dvb-t-digital-tv-usb-2-0-dongle-with-fm-dab-remote-controller-92096
Ordered on April 21 and receiver on May 18.
There were a bunch of people that cancelled their orders when they did not receive them after a couple weeks, but I waited and received it in less than 30 days. There are other DTV dongles that will work, but I'm not sure which one's. The one I ordered uses the e4000 tuner and RTL2832U chip. The attached (RTL2832U-installing.pdf) file is what I used to setup my dongle for HRSDR software. The antenna connector is a Europe connector so you will have to improvise. For the money it is an amazing SDR receiver. Below is a bunch of links talking about using the DTV dongle as an SDR radio.
