I am wanting to hook up an RTL dongle to an android phone.
What apps are the best. Do I need a cable to power both power the dongle and run signal to the phone? NOAA, FM, AM, Airband, SSB, etc etc. All the things. |

It's been a while since I used it but SDR touch was the best app last time I checked. There may be newer ones now.
ETA if your phone is capable of powering external devices with an OTG adapter, it should work. But it would be better to get a powered type C USB hub and connect a battery bank to it to keep the phone charged and power the SDR. |

 Attached File Attached FileI have not had any issues just plugging in so far. But I haven't been using it for loooooong periods of time. It does get warm though. I use Velcro tape and this carrier from Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1543295723/3d-printed-rtl-sdr-magnetic-mount-asa The carrier is magnetic so be aware. |
