This document discusses using digital video broadcast-terrestrial (DVB-T) dongles as broadband receivers for software defined radio. It explains that DVB-T dongles, which are inexpensive USB receivers originally intended for digital TV, can be used to receive a wide variety of radio signals with the help of free software. The document provides guidance on choosing and setting up a DVB-T dongle, including recommended antennas, software options, and frequencies of interest that can be received.
The document introduces the CertaPart Start tool, which removes a vehicle identification number (VIN) from car radios' memories in 2 minutes, unlocking radios for reuse. It benefits automotive shops by allowing use of recycled radios instead of new ones, reducing returns and trips to dealerships. The compact, easy-to-use tool works on most General Motors radios from 2005-2011 and could save shops money on radio costs and technician time.
