Thank you RTL-SDR.com for the mention on one of my videos. The video is about the Soft66IP network SDR dongle setup tutorial. I think it's pretty cool when a blog or website mentions a video I produced. Keeps me motivated to do more videos like that one. :)
Recently received back the Soft66IP network SDR dongle for repair, unfortunately it arrived with the same issues. This time I went ahead and open it up, carefully looking with a magnified lens and found a loose pin connecting the network controller, I resoldered the pin and it is working OK now. However I still can't recommend on purchasing this device. His attitude toward the end user / customer is horrible. At $99 I would not buy this device.
I also learned that the RSP1 SDR from SDRPlay dropped it's price to around $99 although it is not a network SDR device. I'm think about buying one and giving it a try. I will have see more reviews before I can make that purchase.
Lastly I recently picked the Radio Shack DX-398 from eBay for $60, this radio is similar to the Sangean ATS-909 radio. It is a radio I wanted for quite some time. I will be enjoying that radio and posting videos soon.
