NEW EXPERIMENTAL R820T RTL-SDR DRIVER THAT TUNES DOWN TO 13 MHZ OR LOWER
« on: September 03, 2014, 1053 UTC »
Over on the Osmocom mailing list, Oliver Jowett an RTL-SDR experimenter has posted about his new experimental driver for the R820T RTL-SDR which extends the tunable range down to around 13 and up to 1864 MHz (previously 24 – 1766 MHz).

Most users are reporting that it works well down to around 15 MHz, but some people are reporting that they have been able to receive signals down to around 4 MHz. Testers also report that this modified driver works much better than the no-hardware direct sampling mod patch released a few months ago.
