Requires some research and practice with software

First of all, don't change the included antenna until you've verified the protection diode is on, which will require internet research and a thorough, if simple, partial inspection. -Assembly. The version I bought had an ESD diode, but research shows some don't, and if you unplug your antennas without this protection you will almost certainly damage the chips. Yes, the supplied antenna has very VERY poor reception, but until you are sure your device has a protection diode, do not replace it. You can still experiment with the device, but don't expect to hear distant radio stations. when I set the sample rate much higher than 1 megasample, often to the point that "Control Alternate Delete" was the only way to get the computer to respond. At just over 2 megasamples, the old Dell laptop had to shut down hard to recover from a locked OS. Despite the above high sample rate warning, Dell had no problems when I kept the sample rate below or around 1 megasamples and after some experimentation with the settings it didn't take long before I was getting clear AM and FM signals from CB and 2 meters -Heard radios. I haven't tried or even researched using Linux-style operating systems, but I probably want to connect this receiver to an older and slower computer, but the computer, the one you use faster is better. Did I mention the need for research? I had better search results using the numbers from the key board in my case "EZTV645", RTC 2832U, FC 0013 and Realtek, but it depends on your board. HDM Despite the high sample rate warning, Dell had no trouble keeping the sample rate below or around 1 megasample, and after some experimentation with the settings I was soon hearing clear AM and FM signals from CB and 2m radios. I haven't tried or even researched using Linux-style operating systems, but this is probably the way to go if you want to connect this receiver to an older, slower computer, but the faster computer you're using is better . Did I mention the need for research? I had the best search results, Using the numbers from the key board in my case "EZTV645", RTC 2832U, FC 0013 and Realtek, it depends on your board.
