Q: I have one and I love it. But how does the remote control fit in? How is it used? TNX

It started life as a tv receiver. Using it as a 'real' software defined radio means (1) the software it started out with is no longer used, and (2) the little remote it came with does not know much about whatever software is in place for your planned use. There are very clever folks about - even now, someone may be looking at the little remote, thinking 'hey, if l decode the signals this remote sends, bet I could lace them into this new code, here, to do....somthing... cool...' Shorter answer, not intended to be snarky, is: without appropriate code, it fits in a waste can... sorry. Good luck.

Q: Is there any software to use this as a scanner for digital radio communications?

SDR# (http://www.sdrsharp.com) is a very functional interface that supports a number of different plugins. Although I didn't find one that would simply scan an open frequency range and stop on any signal above the noise floor, it does allow you to store frequencies and scan through them much as a commercial scanner would do. As far as digital communications go, none that I'm aware of yet but the GnuRadio (http://www.gnuradio.org) project has more functions and capabilities than one can fathom. I've decoded a number of digital transmissions (mostly just AFSK, ham packet radio and POCSAG pager messages) but not voice. Have a look at this sites:http://www.rtl-sdr.com/sdrsharp-plugins/http://www.rtl-sdr.com/http://www.rtl-sdr.com/signal-identification-guide/Good luck.-Charles

Q: What bands does this unit cover? I'm looking for an HF receiver with 1 MHz~28 MHz bands, anything else is a bonus. Also, I'll be using this on Linux.

The specs are 25 mHz - 1.7 gHz. I only used it for 1 gHz ADS-B.

Q: I am trying to decide between this and the NooElec NESDR Nano. Has anyone done a comparison?

The NooElec NESDR is basically the same unit with the same chipset in a smaller case. I have several of these smaller versions (nano) and they all work the same as the larger ones with the R820T not the E4000. There is a tuning coverage difference between the versions with the R820T and the version with the E4000. Both work well as SDR's. Don't forget to buy a MCX adapter for an external antenna connection. You may also require an SMA to BNC or PL259.

Software defined radio

The product delivery is all right but the problem is there is no supporting document along with product. It will be helpful for a beginner to learn and use.
