SDR recommendation

[mscir]

I assume you were looking at the list here: Ottawa County, Ontario (ON) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference (radioreference.com)

Lots of stuff under the OC Transpo option when you click on it.

If you aren't looking for a portable option, The $35 dollar or so investment for a cheap SDR really opens things up. Use software such as SDR#, DSD+, Unitrunker 2. I have mine coupled to my outdoor 2m antenna.

Can you recommend an SDR?

My go to SDR is the Airspy. Its a bit more expensive but so far its been bulletproof. Waterproof too, LOL. I dropped in the snow and it survived overnight before it was found and defrosted. Not by me, that is why it got wet.

I have no issues with my RTL-SDR v3. There is now a V4 that has better HF capabilities. They are well worth the money.

This thread is a hi-jack of a two year old thread, I've split it from that. Member: mscir lives in California and has purchased a BCD 996P2.

The suggestions are good reading and advice for those considering an SDR.
