You at least would need a means to switch off and bypass the converter, and unless you do that with a slide switch on the dongle, there's probably no way to do it via USB.
Did I miss something? Did they find a cute way to control the converter e.g. via the IR, LED or other GPIO on rtl2832? Or would I actually need two of those for the full range?

Even so it still is so cheap and small even carrying two.

I suppose you could repackage two dongles together and run software to activate one or the other. If you felt especially tricky you could put a duplexer onto the antenna feed and run the HF to the modded dongle and VHF+ to the unmodded one.

The longer I know my N900 the less I think there's *anything* it can't do ;-)
I wouldn't see a reason why you can't use it the way you suggested.

HEY, doesn't E4000 (or the 802?) tuner come with two antenna inputs to switch between? :-D

This is the coolest thing I have seen this month.

You can get 500 bonus internet points if you can decode POCSAG pager messages in real time.

Probably you should check again the first post searching for some "bonus"...

....multimon-ng!

OK, I am a SDR freak so I want to give this a try but since I only currently have my everyday N900 I want to be careful.
Can you post the exact directories each of these files should link to?
Obviously they will go into the directories contained in the tars but I just want to be sure I am grabbing everything needed.
I dont want to go through a bootloop crisis like I did installing the pre-.deb 720p video drivers.

Dosbox will run a nice POCSAG decoder, I will look around for the files, there are on some hard disk around here.

(edit) here we go everything to build the infrastructure and hack old pagers for a paging network on amateur radio(or whatever) freqs for probably under $100, also has the DOS decoder towards the bottom.

(edit2) or just use the now included multimon!

BTW the dongle I have has a PAL antenna connector for those wanting to geek on some satellite passes. Is there libgnuradio-NOAA for grabbing weather sats in your build? answer = $/gnuradio/lib/libgnuradio-noaa-3.6.5.1.so
