Hello, I was looking for news about the SDR radio today because I would like to buy one someday and I came across a topic about SDR reception on a DVB-T tuner for about PLN 60. The case is interesting because the costs are low and you can get some experience with SDR and if you get bored you can have a TV tuner. When the tuner is connected as in normal use, you can receive from 64-1700 MHZ and recently someone came up with the idea that if you connect the antenna to the first leg of the RTL2832 chip, you can also receive short waves! Here's the proof:
A whole lot of other results Link
Here is a topic on sp7pki Link
On this forum someone wrote that direct connection of the antenna to the chip can burn the chip and it would probably be so, but if you used to connect the kf antenna, something like in the 83 post Link
I think that due to the possibilities and the price, the topic is really worth developing. An additional advantage is that you do not need to use a sound card that is integrated on the computer's motherboard is very poor and the cost of buying a better sound card is greater than the DVB-T tuner.

If I were you, I'd do this: sell this tuner and buy it on Allegro or even better on ebay, another dongle from the R820T has probably only one hole and a wider range of reception. You can find everything in google.
