For example, see https://youtu.be/4qfYMw6jcG0 and https://youtu.be/IYXt7ldEex0 . But you will need a preselector such as Global AT-2000 (or Lowe PR150 / MFJ-956 if you want long wave). Otherwise the dongle will be easily overloaded by your loop output.London Shortwavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766748790997282126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532699707787825318.post-26725247118347644532015-04-04T20:17:41.792+01:002015-04-04T20:17:41.792+01:00That is pretty sweet.

I have wanted to do this before, but wasn't really keen on spending that much money...I tried to do a much cheaper version by buying a $60 Android tablet and buying the RTL-SDR dongle, but that doesn't cover shortwave. This is definitely much much better than any portable, and it's a lot cheaper than a desktop radio. I like the idea of taking this anywhere though. Could you use an indoor loop antenna (like the Wellbrook ALA1530) with this setup? <br /><br />Thanks for your posts...I really enjoy your blog!
