Paul, I would not call it cheating, it was received with your own receiver and antenna. But I agree with you on whether I will ever find time to check the recordings. As for playing with the settings, the only thing you would not be able to do is tweak with the antenna post recordings.

As the guy that wrote about the RTL dongles recently, I'll second Walt's advice. This is not/not the radio for anybody that would be a subscriber to this mailing list. That said, this is the most bang for the buck to get an idea of what SDR is (US$20 for the RTL-SDR Blog v3 dongle), and to

As I've said before I can't run coax from my DX spot to the house. It would cross tiger freeway and pick up a bunch of RF and electrical noise from the building. I am going to eventually look into a heated tent of some kind On Wednesday, November 30, 2016, Neil Kazaross
