 +A: You can buy a DVB-T dongle with an rtl2832 chip (~15 Euro). They work together with  [[software#​rf_analyzer_android|RF Analyzer (Android)]] as well as [[software#​gnu_radio_linux_mac_windows|GNU Radio (Windows/​Linux/​Mac)]]. They are not capable of sending signals, but depending on the dongle they have a frequency spectrum from 64 MHz up to 1700 MHz for receiving signals, which is enough for a lot of experiments.
