It includes an MCX connector, DVB-T antenna, and IR remote, supporting FM, AM (non-broadcast), CW, pagers, and more.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever been curious about software-defined radio (SDR), this USB stick is the easiest way possible to have fun with a powerful, configurable receiver. Packed with the powerful RTL2832U and FC0013 tuner, it can tune into signals from 48.25 - 863.25MHz. That means you can use a computer (with Windows, Mac, or Linux) to tune into: FM Radio, AM signals (but not AM radio), CW (Morse code!), unencrypted radio signals (such as those used by many police and fire departments), POCSAG pagers, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe plugged it into our Windows computer and used\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eZadig+SDR#\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto poke around and listen to the wireless world around us.

The antenna seems OK for basic experimentation. We also have some MCX to BNC and MCX to SMA adapters (see below), which you may want to use to connect a better antenna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDepending on your location, listening to some radio signals may not be legal.
