Our take on the RTL2832U USB DVB-T FM SDR Dongle Digital TV Tuner Stick Receiver

This is a USB 2.0 stick built on the Realtek RTL2832U demodulator, the chip that made cheap software-defined radio possible. It tunes FM broadcast (87.5–108 MHz), DAB and DVB-T digital TV over an IEC antenna input, and the same hardware works as an SDR receiver with free software on a PC. It suits tinkerers, scanner listeners and anyone curious about radio who wants a low-cost entry point, not a plug-and-play TV box. Compared with purpose-built SDRs it has a narrow tuning range, an 8-bit ADC and no transmit, but it costs a fraction of them and has huge community support.
