Is that like a FLDSMDFR?

1) "RTLSDR" is a term for certain USB digital TV (DVB-T) receivers that use the Realtek RTL2832U
HeyOP
2) chip which it was recently discovered can function as general purpose software defined radio (SDR) receivers.

I see nothing of interest. What can you do with this?
Razor512
It allows you to tune into any frequency between 27MHz and 1.7GHz (meaning you can listen in on 2 way radios, pagers and many other products

Software defined radio is the "sdr" you want to google if you feel like googling.

I haven't played with my SDR dongle for a while, I'm curious how SDR-Sharp works since I last updated it.

They have added new features and altered the UI

Ooh, the Audio Spectrum window is a welcome addition, I used to have to use HD-SDR for that feature. Are you a ham or a curious listener?
Razor512
More of a listener, been having fun building antennas and mapping out the frequencies in my area. (will be getting an up-converter soon :) )

My area is a bit underwhelming as far as that goes...fairly rural, lots of hills on all sides, VHF and UHF simplex is pretty awful.
