   Yes, that's what I'm using, a RTL-SDR dongle, with telescopic dipole. It's   
   nothing special, but it cost less than $100 for two of them.

   I believe there are two classes here, but don't quote me on that. It has been   
   a while since I looked at getting my license. For the most part, I tend to   
   use my devices to listen to the local trunks for police/ambulance, or   
   ADS-B/ACARS from aircraft. I live quite close to a major airport.
