And usually come with a number of forms that need signing. And a massive
tower. 
Frequency Range is range, however. Even if the power isn't great - it's
something to start on :) 
 
Most of those antennas in your ref are for duplex (two-way) service in WiFi
bands (approx/typically 2 & 5 GHz)
 
Paul seeks receive (only) antennas for the service he mentioned... ranging
from "shortwave" (typically 3-30MHz) through UHF TV for various broadcast
services... (below 2 GHz)
 
 
And I don't really think Paul knows quite what he was saying by "the entire
mhz band".


THAT was apparent  :-)

Those are WiFi antennas mostly, and are not "shortwave and the entire mhz
band".  Not what Paul requested, but good products for their specific "mhz
ranges".  Most are highly directional.  I think Paul seeks a real high gain,
all-band, omni-directional antenna.  Those are hard to find!  :-)

My online source - I buy product from them fairly regularly:

Would you be able to suggest a really cool antenna 'that allows shortwave
and the entire mhz band'. I prefer Ralink chipsets because they are what I
know 'less about' for certain [rtl-61] native support under kernel
2.6.---.[I am a noob]. At this point why not look into a complete separate
'secondary nic' supporting this entire situation. Why have to use usb
'dongle' when one would prefer the entire device except 'Antenna's' to be in
the box. Is it a software issue? 

Thank you,

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? I pulled up the
following website.


Yes, they're technically capable of much more than just OTA TV, AM/FM Radio,
etc. How easy it is to get that working is up for debate, though.
Additionally, for any frequency band you want to receive, you'll need an
antenna that's at least an approximate match for that band. You're not going
to be able to receive shortwave on the little 700/800MHz antenna that ships
with these. :)
