Where did you get your SDR dongle, and how much should I expect to pay for
it?
Thanks

Hi Alan,

What makes the SDR dongle accessible, is the HDSDR software.  I don't know
of anyone having much  luck with a screen reader on Flex software, but it
wouldn't hurt to bug them a little.

HDSDR software is free and can be found at www.HDSDR.DE

The SDR dongle that I bought is called a RTL2832 Mini2 dongle.
