Hi Hans, this is very nice radio and driver. But where did you buy/get this device? Could you please share a link? Year ago i tried to find place on internet to buy this device but failed. -- Best regards, Klimov Alexey -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

[REVIEW PATCH 0/4] add radio-raremono driver
This patch series adds the new radio-raremono driver for the USB 'Thanko's Raremono' AM/FM/SW receiver. Since it (ab)uses the same USB IDs as the si470x SiLabs Reference Design I had to add additional checks to si470x to tell the two apart. While editing si470x I noticed that it passes USB buffers from the stack instead of using kmalloc, so I fixed that as well. I have tested the si470x checks, and the FM and AM receiver of the Raremono device have been tested as well. I don't have a SW transmitter, nor are there any SW transmitters here in Norway, so I couldn't test it. All I can say is that it is definitely tuning since the white noise changes when I change frequency. I'll try this nexy week in the Netherlands, as I think there are still a few SW transmissions there I might receive. The initial reverse engineering for this driver was done by Dinesh Ram as part of his Cisco internship, so many thanks to Dinesh for doing that work.
