[MilCom] Spectrum Monitor Jan 2015 Article Dongles / RF UpConvertor

[WD8ARZ]

Nice article in Jan 2015 issue of Spectrum Monitor ( 
http://www.thespectrummonitor.com/index.aspx) by Mario Filippi N2HUN 
starting on page 13 titled "Monitoring Utility and Amateur Radio 
Transmissions with a DVB-T Dongle using an RF Up convertor.

Had a dongle prior to Christmas, but received  a new one* and a NooElec 
Ham It Up v1.2 - NooElec RF Upconverter For Software Defined Radio*. 
Works With Most SDRs Like Funcube, RTLSDR (RTL2832U with E4000, FC0013 
or R820T Tuners); MF/HF Converter With SMA Jacks.

Looking forward to installing another Christmas gift the Antennacraft 
ST4 Outdoor Scanner/Ham Discone TV Antenna*, and using it on the above!

Then to discover various software to use with this computerized system.
