Software Defined Radio Receiver USB Stick - RTL2832 w-R820TIf you've ever been curious about software defined radio (SDR), this USB stick is the easiest way possible to have fun with a powerful, configurable receiver. Packed with the powerful RTL2832U and R820T tuner, it can tune into signals from 24MHz to 1850MHz. That means you can use a computer (with Windows or Linux) to tune into: FM Radio, AM signals (but not AM radio), CW (morse code!), unencrypted radio signals (such as those used by many police and
If you've ever been curious about software defined radio (SDR), this USB stick is the easiest way possible to have fun with a powerful, configurable receiver. Packed with the powerful RTL2832U and R820T tuner, it can tune into signals from 24MHz to 1850MHz. That means you can use a computer (with Windows or Linux) to tune into: FM Radio, AM signals (but not AM radio), CW (morse code!), unencrypted radio signals (such as those used by many police and fire departments), POCSAG pagers, and more.
We plugged it into our windows computer and used Zadig+SDR# to poke around and listen to the wireless world around us, it's lots of fun!
We don't have a detailed tutorial yet, but for tons more ideas, check

- http://rtlsdr.org/ - a nice resource with links to software.

- Melissa Elliott's lovely talk on hacking with the RTL (and her notes on using the command line utilities on a Mac)
Comes with a very compact (but very good quality) RTL2832+R820T module with an MCX RF connector, and a basic 'DVB-T' antenna (used to tune into DVB TV signals, not available in the US but will work in Europe or any country with DVB-T broadcasts) as well as an IR remote which isn't terribly useful. The antenna seems OK for basic experimentation. We also have some MCX to BNC and MCX to SMA adapters (see below) which you may want to use to connect a better antenna.
Please note! Depending on your location, listening in to some radio signals may not be legal. So consider this your warning to check before 'accidentally' tuning into naughty frequencies.

Smart Design
Color: Brushed Nickel, Size: 8.85 inch
Glad I purchased these with the longer tab that hangs over the back of the cabinet door. I feel they are not likely to fall off when pulling towel off the holder.
Was surprised that the foam insert did not go all the way along the inside. It is just in front and back. I didn't want the metal part scratching my cabinet door top, so I used self-stick felt pads on the inside top to prevent scratching. A quick solution to prevent possible scratching of the cabinet.
Overall, a good purchase for a reasonable price. Does the job, especially when I didn't want to attach a towel rod to the wall.

These towel holders are perfect !
Color: Brushed Nickel, Size: 8.85 inch
These are awesome ! Fit very well on my kitchen cabinet doors. My cabinet doors are beveled a bit at the top so I was concerned these towel holders wouldn’t fit right but they fit great !

good quality
Color: Brushed Nickel, Size: 8.85 inch
i have purchased similar types from other sellers and i think this is by far the best. it goes deeper into the cabinet door therefore does mot fall off and also stays in place, not moving or sliding around. . the others also have broken over time
