Hi Holger!

    RM>> Maybe somebody is interested in the RTL-SDR software defined radio   
    RM>> ultra cheap receivers.   
    HG> Oh yes, maybe I could advertise too, all the receiving and   
    HG> transmitting tubes, I still have, after laying off my Radio-TV   
    HG> service!!!   
      
   I am in no way affiliated with that product, except that I ordered one myself.   
      
   I think it is a good proposition, so I wanted to share it with my fellow ham   
   colleagues.   
   I am sorry that you see it differently!   
      
   It is an updated version of the standard DVB-T dongle with amateur features   
   for twice the price.   
   As far as I know no other RTL-SDR dongle supports those.   
      
   The only other similar product I know of is flighaware (geared towards ADS-B   
   reception) that comes with a built in LNA for a similar price point.   
   But it lacks the direct sampling mode that is important for HAM use.   
   The "normal" SDRs (~10 USD) need a HW modidification to enable direct sampling.   
      
   Could you explain to me where you draw the line between "advertising" and   
   "sharing the excitment for a product that I just ordered myself".   
      
   It would also be interesting how others see it.
