Regarding the RTL SDR dongle. I notice that it says that the dongle will
go down to 500 khz with reduced sampling below 24 mhz. I wias wondering
if one needs to get an up converter to get it to work?
The tuner chip does have a sort of "bypass" mode that lets you see the very low frequency signals that are below what is considered the normal tuning range. It comes at a price. If you are really interested in the lower frequencies the use of an external up converter would be a good idea.
