And usually come with a number of forms that need signing. And a massive tower… Frequency Range is range, however. Even if the power isn’t great - it’s something to start on :) And I don’t really think Paul knows quite what he was saying by “the entire mhz band”.

Not what Paul requested, but good products for their specific "mhz ranges". Most are highly directional. I think Paul seeks a real high gain, all-band, omni-directional antenna. Those are hard to find! :-) > > Chuck > > From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Coleman > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2014 12:10 AM > To: TCLUG Mailing List > Subject: Re: [tclug-list] off topic > > My online source - I buy product from them fairly regularly: http://www.l-com.com/wireless-antenna?cmp=LM1 > > On Apr 2, 2014, at 11:18 PM, paul g <pj.world at hotmail.com> wrote: > >> Would you be able to suggest a really cool antenna 'that allows shortwave and the entire mhz band'. I prefer Ralink chipsets because they are what I know 'less about' for certain [rtl-61] native support under kernel 2.6.---.[I am a noob]. At this point why not look into a complete separate 'secondary nic' supporting this entire situation. Why have to use usb 'dongle' when one would prefer the entire device except 'Antenna's' to be in the box.

Additionally, for any frequency band you want to receive, you'll need an antenna that's at least an approximate match for that band. You're not going to be able to receive shortwave on the little 700/800MHz antenna that ships with these. :) >> >> >> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >> _______________________________________________ >> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >> tclug-list at mn-linux.org >> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
