You at least would need a means to switch off and bypass the converter, and unless you do that with a slide switch on the dongle, there's probably no way to do it via USB.
Did I miss something? Did they find a cute way to control the converter e.g. via the IR, LED or other GPIO on rtl2832? Or would I actually need two of those for the full range?

Even so it still is so cheap and small even carrying two.

I suppose you could repackage two dongles together and run software to activate one or the other. If you felt especially tricky you could put a duplexer onto the antenna feed and run the HF to the modded dongle and VHF+ to the unmodded one.

The longer I know my N900 the less I think there's *anything* it can't do ;-)
I wouldn't see a reason why you can't use it the way you suggested.

HEY, doesn't E4000 (or the 802?) tuner come with two antenna inputs to switch between? :-D

This is the coolest thing I have seen this month.

You can get 500 bonus internet points if you can decode POCSAG pager messages in real time.

osmocomBB devided into two separate applications:
1,running on the baseband chip of the phone
2,running on a PC, communicating with the baseband firmware over serial

i mean is possible use n900 instead of PC host ,connect "compatible phone" (@@MotorolaC115@@) to N900 via H-E-N hostmode,MotorolaC115. MotorolaC115 run osmocomBB baseband firmware ,and N900 run Firmware management and GSM Layer 2/3 application

Sorry, i have no experience with osmocomBB, but i tried to build osmocomBB and also osmocomGMR without success.. :(

Probably you should check again the first post searching for some "bonus"... ;)

....multimon-ng!

Re: SDR gnuradio RTL-SDR x N900
 
OK, I am a SDR freak so I want to give this a try but since I only currently have my everyday N900 I want to be careful.
Can you post the exact directories each of these files should link to?
Obviously they will go into the directories contained in the tars but I just want to be sure I am grabbing everything needed.
I dont want to go through a bootloop crisis like I did installing the pre-.deb 720p video drivers.

Dosbox will run a nice POCSAG decoder, I will look around for the files, there are on some hard disk around here.

(edit) here we go everything to build the infrastructure and hack old pagers for a paging network on amateur radio(or whatever) freqs for probably under $100, also has the DOS decoder towards the bottom.

(edit2) or just use the now included multimon!

Re: SDR gnuradio RTL-SDR x N900
 
BTW the dongle I have has a PAL antenna connector for those wanting to geek on some satellite passes. Is there libgnuradio-NOAA for grabbing weather sats in your build? answer = $/gnuradio/lib/libgnuradio-noaa-3.6.5.1.so
