The product is good for the price. However, it takes a while to source the suitable software to run the unit. The unit receives only FM radio as it stands. For HF radio communications reception, it requires additional hardware, namely an 'UPconverter' to shift the received frequencies into another range, for reception. The sftware CD supplied is listed as a 'Trial version'. It does not allow for the DAB and DVB-T (Digital TV) reception. A full version of the software is required. As a retired electronics technician, I am building my own 'UPconverter and trust that I get better results with using this unit.

2 Stars means it works but only just. The device is able to pick up signal but it cant retain it. I tried this test putting the signal through my Base Radio Amp to increase the signal quality but again the failure is in the electronics not being stable enough to retain variable signal strength. Unless you right on the hub of a transmitter thid device really on serves to provide you with information relating to transmitted frequencies. The other more annoying thing about this device usb is that the software processes though detailed are the most basic and you dont get much really useful option for scanning a specific frequency in you own area. The library or retained scan is only useful for finding a given station address. If you try to connect to a scanned station in library it's a fickle game to try an find a strong signal. If you think that plugging into a better antenna will fix this issue I think you are wasting your time. Sadly this device in its ultra compact design just hasn't the grunt needed to pick up DAB properly.Read full review
