NooElec brand RTL-SDR dongle
cmradio:
I just got mine the other day :)
Works decent and the new version goes to 2.2GHz.
Installing SDR# on an ancient Vista lappy was a job and a half, though :-X
Peace!

I have been running the NooElec Stick in an Ubuntu 12.4 box. (Running on an OLD laptop with a cracked case, no screen anymore....external monitor) <Side note dont put a lot of money into buying your daughter's first laptop....>
I got gqrx running a few weeks ago with the usb stick. It works pretty well, although gqrx is not what I would call a full feature SDR app right now, but it does work well for casual listening. I have not had much time to check its freq range due to my other "hobby" of broadcast engineering.
I find that it likes to pickup intermod, images etc, but for 20 bucks---no complaint from me.
cmradio:
I have an Ubuntu USB keychain boot ... works phenomenal on the laptop.
Alas, not my machine, or I'd install.
Peace!

CMRadio, Am intrigued, new version? Is there a model # variation to ask for when ordering?
cmradio:
I assume it's a new version because of the extended coverage ???
The Amazon listing says "Provides an approximate tuning range of 25MHz-1700MHz". During tuning I found a "hiccup" after 1.7GHz and it picked up again to 2.2GHz, confirmed by a sig gen that goes up that high.
Peace!
