I found the RTL-SDR.com website while I was looking for an inexpensive way to create a P25 scanner. Some how I fell into your world of Outernet, and I was immediately immersed in reading through this forum. I have been thinking of something to bring back country to pull data and I think this maybe it.
-Can you pull map information, not just weather and news (NGA, NGS, NADS)
-Can the Dream Catcher act as a regular RTL-SDR dongle to capture P25 transmissions, along with all the other fun/odd projects that are associated with a regular SDR dongle?
-One of the threads mentioned Skylark was able to access SMS, Twitter... true?Also a hardware for an initial purchase question;
I have figured I need the Dream Catcher, Power Supply(Charger or battery), Passive Antenna (not sure what the actual difference between active and passive are), and a laptop or droid device to link the wifi too.This technology is incredibly fascinating to me and I hope it can help me out for what I want it to do.
