Not only usable for radio reception, but also as a high-quality radio scanner.

The NooElec DVB-T stick is delivered in a small plastic bag. It comes with the USB pc, a remote control, an operating software, as well as a small antenna with antenna cable.

Also can be customized with the appropriate software, which receive around flying aircraft. The aircraft with the relevant flight data (flight number, type, height, etc ..) You can display on his computer, in a radar view. If you want to receive more than just radio, but should be followed by a stronger antenna.

One should, of course, previously informed about the laws of the country and comply with them also.

Meanwhile I use the DVB-T stick for more than 2 years and am very satisfied. At that time the stick was not available in Germany and had to order it directly from the US through Amazon.com. I'm curious what you order so everything gets pure :-)
