Scott,

 

I too have just started playing with the NooElec SDR.  One thing that hit me
between the eyes is that the SDR is not very sensitive.  I have had moderate
success copying local two meter traffic and APRS signals on 144.390 by using
a broad band preamp at the radio and also one at the antenna, with that
arrangement the SDR hears much better.

 

73,

Mark
