Same :(

>>61200429
Yeah me too

>>61200429
Help I have the same issue!

>>61200420
I used it to pick up images from weather satellites. Right now I'm doing the same as >>61200429

>>61200429
I have two somewhere

>>61200420
Any recs for guides to building a antenna for these? I've got mine attached to a set of rabbit ears with a signal amplifier and it's still only slightly better than that pos that it comes with.

>>61202652
figure out what you want to do with it first, then look at plans for an antenna

>>61202699
I just want to listen in on shortwave. I can't seem to find any plans for an appropriate antenna that isn't enormous.

>>61202762
I thought shortwave was out of band for these things

>>61202783
Is it? Sheeeeit.

>>61200420
I wonder if they got a little brother as awesome in the trasmitting department (at least in FM)

I bought a UV5R a few months ago. I still don't know what the fuck to do with it.

You can still shell out 40 shekels for an upconverter

>>61204244
get your technicians license and talk to people.

I listen to police and to the airband. Sometimes I go to the countryside I dial into the HF band to listen to hams.

build a simple dipole, it's more than enough to receive shit.

you don't need to use upconverter. Receivng HF is as simple as soldering a coax to two points on the RTL-SDR board. google "RTL-SDR direct sampling". Just don't remove the caps and soler to Q+ and Q-.
