Do make sure you have the up to date drivers installed for it and not the default ones.
Is there a step by step guide ? It's a rtl rtl2382u blue case. It was very cheap off ebay. Been told it could be a fake but would that stop it from working with websdr ? Any help would be great as it will benefit every one that listens as i'm almost 600 feet above sea level.

The problem is too many sdr's and not enough talking. There is little point in having tons of ways to listen when the numbers are not there. We need to find ways to bring the nunmbers up.

Thats very true...

Its the same with DMR tons of talk groups but nobody actually talking. There is no point in having tons of channels when there are only a tiny handful of people that come on every now and again.
