SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Philip, writes with the following question:<\/p>\n

“I want to know if you are aware of any good shortwave receivers\u00a0that can be used on an Android tablet.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am aware of the Android SDR application, SDR Touch<\/a>\u00a0(see image above), but have never used it so I can’t comment on compatibility with the various SDRs on the market. I know that SDR Touch is compatible with devices that\u00a0support USB host mode–but\u00a0you may need to do research to see if your Android device and potential receiver are compatible. I believe most SDR Touch users connect their device to RTL-SDR dongles.<\/p>\n

Readers:<\/strong>\u00a0Please comment if you have any suggestions for Philip. I’m also\u00a0curious if anyone has had success pairing an Android tablet to an HF-capable SDR.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
