A few tips:
1.For beginners:
(1) This comes bare-bones. Hardware only. That s good in a way, as if you re using it for SDR, you DO NOT want to use the DVB-T drivers.
(2) This is an off-label use for this device. It was NEVER intended to be used as an SDR. Keep in mind that prior to February 2012, all these USB sticks were good for was watching TV in Europe. The drivers and software are a work in progress. This is what I call bleeding edge technology. Some of the software is very refined & polished; other parts have been cobbled together & borrowed from other devices. With patience, you can get a very reliable and very functional rig from this.
(3) When in doubt, Google is your friend. Search for RTL-SDR + whatever terms you re having trouble with or curious about. We re all still learning what these devices can do.
(4) FWIW, you can use multiple USB sticks on one computer. Why would you want to do this? UniTrunker, running ADS-B + ACARS simultaneously, monitoring multiple frequencies, you name it.
2.For Windows users:
(1)Go over to NooElec s website and download the drivers there. Just look for this product there and on the product page will be a Product Download page. Their download includes the driver installer (Zadig) and SDR Sharp (SDR#).
(2) Run the Install.bat which is inside the installer. It ll download everything and leave you a SDR Sharp folder.
(3) Plug in the USB stick. When Windows prompts to install drivers, cancel. It might prompt to do this twice. Cancel both attempts.
(4) Run Zadig.exe. It should have WinUSB selected by default. Click Install Drivers. Close Zadig when it s done.
(5) Run SDR Sharp. When it loads (it can take awhile), next to the Play button, select RTL-SDR/USB in the drop-down. Click PLAY. If everything works as planned, it ll come alive. Valid frequencies are ~24MHz-1800MHz. When in doubt, try a local FM station (mode WFM) and see what happens.
