Improving RTL SDR RTL2832U Signal reception - Antenna techniques - Making it better than your Normal Radio

Refer my previous article for receiving MW & SW signal ....  No compnent required , just a basic soldering skill required.

1. MW, SW reception , add as much as wire , so that you could get a better reception ..
Here we are using direct sampling method .. Using this method we can receive up to 14MHz

2. Earth/Ground is important for MW/SW reception ,so connect your laptop to the power adapter ..
    You can either power ON ,or just keep it off,  this will ensure that you get better reception ..

I keep 2 exe files, one for receiving 0-14MHz range ,other for 14MHZ -> rest



For VHF Reception


1. The wire & the antenna comes with this product is the signal spoiler , Chinese are not willing to improve the quality ... so its our responsibility .. Cut the wire ,bit close to the connector .. Yes cut it , dont think about it , just cut it , this will improve the signal strength by atleast 10 times .. guaranteed...

2. Now you could see a sheild wires  & center cable ..

take 2 pieces of 1 meter or 1 1/2 meter cable , connect those to cable to these two ends , the other 2 ends have to be joined together , this would match the impedance better

Now you can see a drastic improvement in the quality of reception ...

With these 2 changes you could listen to all channels without any trouble ..
