I’ve been playing with scanners and various other radio equipment off and on going back to the early ‘70’s. However, I’ve never had any experience with SDR. I recently stumbled across a YouTube video about GQRX software that seemed to claim that you could use it with pretty much any usb tv-type dongle. Curiosity got the best of me and I downloaded the program onto my Mac just to see what it looked like. Then the other day I happened to find a Pinnacle 80e 1134 usb dongle in my cable drawer. I had forgotten that the dongle was for Windows until I looked it up online. My question is whether there is any SDR software that could be used with this particular dongle or am I wasting my time? I do have machines with Windows 7 pro and 10 besides my Mac. Thanks in advance for the info and ribbing I’m about to receive!

Only dongles with the RTL chip/tuner will work, i've had a quick search and that doesn't seem to be the case with the Pinnacle.
