RTL2832U dongle and RTL-SDR should cover that. RECORDING the station might be a little more interesting, but I don't see why it wouldn't be doable. Note that most of the things sold with this chipset are going to be marketed as TV Tuners; but the chip itself is capable of receiving anything between the 630 meter and 23 centimeter bands (approx 475 KHz to 1.2 GHz). -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860
