Universal Radio Receiver

In this post we are going to talk about SDR software defined radio and how with just our mobile and a USB TV tuner for 15 euros we will be able to have our own portable SHIP LOCATOR (AIS) or a RADAR with nearby AIRCRAFT, a universal radio SCANNER to listen to any broadcast and even a TV on the mobile. All WITHOUT the need to consume data or INTERNET connection, and being able to carry it in our pocket. A super simple invention, but very powerful.

To be able to do all this you are going to basically need an OTG cable and a USB DTT tuner with the RTL2832U chip:
