The RTL-SDR dongle has a Ralink chipset maybe? So one would get many more channels than just am or fm talk radio by using that device?

Agreed. With most stations live-streaming these days, it's likely not needed, but you could likely pick up one of those cheap RTL-SDR dongles to accomplish the same. They're well-supported in linux. One can do all sorts of cool stuff with these dongles - homebrew police scanner (even for the 800 MHz digital systems), decoding weather satellite images, listening to shortwave radio, etc. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
