  5. Hello all I just have a basic question about what SDR device to buy, i really like what ive read about these gizmos and really want to mess with one. But all ive read makes me want one more and more but i cant find a radio that says it works in the USA. Im looking on Ebay and ide like to get one thats round 10-20 bucks. Found on another place that this one -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0129EBDS2?psc=1 -- but i found the same on eon Ebay for 22 bucks and it does not state the region. I allso found one that has some kind of add on box that you build yourself, i like to solder and am proficient in it, so that actualy sounds fun to me, but is that worth it ?? --- http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-100KHz-1-7GHz-full-band-software-radio-HF-FM-AM-RTL-SDR-Receiver-kit/272186930027?_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226&_trkparms=aid%3D555014%26algo%3DPL.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3Da06b0a7e26264ba38917a3cb2774dbbd%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26 ---- im just trying to decide that to buy. i just want to make sure i get something i can Use for sure. Any info and help would be great. The first one from amazon that people are saying is very good i checked the peoples account that have reviewed it and some are from china and areas like that but all so some are from the USA, so i take it that it works in the USA? im just like kinda DAAA about the subject matter here, but yes The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. thank you all !!
