Hi Doug,

Thanks for the details - I might have to get an RTL dongle and give it a try.

Do an eBay search for "USB 2.0 Digital DVB-T SDR+DAB+FM HDTV TV Tuner Receiver Stick RTL2832U+R820T2 ZX". Mine came from Darwin for about $13.60 including free postage, took about a week to get to me. There are a few others that seem cheaper but are outside AUS and take about 3-4 weeks to arrive. I ended up cutting the mini-coax and putting an SMA male crimp on the end - my lead is about 100mm long.

Don't load the Blaze TV software from the supplied mini-CD as that driver may cause issues later when trying to get SDR# to run. ( see http://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/sdrsharp/ )There are a few driver support files to be installed but once up, it's great. Spektrum software runs well on a Win 64bit platform and gives a wider frequency span that SDR#, no 32 bit format available. (see http://www.rtl-sdr.com/spektrum-new-rtl-...-software/ )

   

Still waiting for a phone call about the pager....
