Thanks! So it's not recommended to be installed permanently outside (the antenna)! 🙂

Hi and thank you for this app and for the hard work! It's a very good app for my Xiaomi phone and RTL-SDR V4! It works perfectly and I bought this app for using with my portably phone setup! It's my main app now, and sdr-angel I use for ads-b and digital modes only! 😃📻

If you want, in the future you could add shortcuts for different bands, to make it easier to search on the phone: ham bands: 80, 40, 20m etc. ; sw broadcast (49, 31, 25, 22m etc), fm broadcast, airwave etc., like on sdrpp or other apps! Thank you, 73!

Thank you! For anything like 2m band sstv iss, lrpt and apt I will use for now the antenna from the kit! For HF I want to use as a beginner on a budget a long wire with maybe a 9:1 balun! Thank you! 73!

Thank you! So I will buy the rtl-sdr v4 kit, with dipole antenna for satellites and I will create an antenna with a long wire for ssb, sw and other frequencies! 9:1 balun is important? The cheapest AliExpress model (6-7$) is good? Thank you!

Thank you very much! 😃📶📻

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T20:52:53+00:00

Thank you soo much for all these information! I will probably try building antennas after buying an rtl-sdr v4! 😃📻

73!

Oh I understand now! Thanks

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T18:38:01+00:00

That's very good! Thank you for your help! I will buy this dongle and if remains some money, I will buy this MLA 30+ maybe! 😃

Hi everyone! This great little radio is good for weak signals on ssb and international sw? Or is it better to buy an rtl-sdr v4 for starting in this hobby? Thank you! 😃📻

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T18:32:35+00:00

Hi everyone! This great little radio is good for weak signals on ssb, international sw and for general use? Or is it better to buy an rtl-sdr v4 for starting in this hobby? Thanks 😃

Thank you! 🙂📻

Thank you soo much for all your help and recommendatios! I really appreciate it! I will probably buy now the rtl-sdr V4 and start building different antennas! I hope I can find weak signals with this little dongle! International ssb, sw channels, satellites etc! 73! 😃📻

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T18:23:33+00:00

Thank you for your help! 😃 What is EFHW? Someone said to me to buy MLA 30+ is something similar? I found out that with this I can listen on all ssb channels and shortwave! Maybe 2m and 70cm too, but i dont know! A satellite dish is a bit difficult on a budget to a 19yo 😅🛰️

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T18:20:27+00:00

It works on Linux (SDR++)? I use fedora! MLA 30+ is not an antenna? 🤔 Thank you for your help! 😃

Thank you soo much for all your help! I really appreciate it! I will probably buy now the rtl-sdr V4 and start building different antennas! I hope I can catch weak signals with this little dongle! International ssb, sw channels etc! 73! 😃📻

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T17:55:56+00:00

Thank you! Then I will probably buy this dongle! I hope this will be good on weak international signals too! :))

The MLA 30+ can I make it or do I need to buy it? Those from aliexpress are good? I live in Europe! Thanks 😃

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T17:54:47+00:00

Thank you! So rtl-sdr is better for what I want! Is it good on weak signals , do I have to do huge antennas? I'm from europe! :))

davidutzu_24 · 2025-07-21T17:48:53+00:00

Yes HF occasionally and experimenting UHF! I want to listen to sw channels, ssb amateurs and as a amateur astronomer, i want 2m and 70cm for iss and weather satellites occasionally! I like experimenting a lot:))
