Hi folks, I now have one of those Newsky dongles and an mcx to bnc adaptor. What else do I need like software etc so I can receive shortwave radio?. Later I would like to use it for the satellites. Any help will be appreciated. 73 de Scott VE6ITV
You'll need to download the SDR# program, and possibly a driver for your PC.
They don't receive below about 70MHz, so shortwave is not an option.
