Search Trade Me for '*RTL2832 RTL-SDR Software Radio TCXO SMA V3 +
Multipurpose Dipole Antenna Set*'

I have the above, older RTL dongles and SDR Play RSP1. The above dongle
with SDR Sharp and a plug in or two will get digital sounds coming through
in no time, they are super easy to spot on a waterfall too. YouTube '*SDR
Sharp and DSD+*'.
