After several days of trial and error ...having made a suitable pre wireless restore point ..I finally got the wretched Digitazz Wlan dongle to work ..
tested a few drivers/software ...some of which were definately infected web downloads..
Turns out it is a clone Ralink product possibly..??
This device is selling on Amazon ..for a stoopidly high price :-

All this to keep the Keplers TLE data up to speed..
Ok ..on to my next questions ..
I treated myself to a Eurostick antenna ...
I was very tempted by a Discone ...but figured Id enough talking points to annoy the neighbours with ...this looks less in-yer-face ....
EUROSTICK DX 25-2000MHz BASE SCANNER ANTENNA / AERIAL
Id appreciate some feedback on this as it's all new to me ..
Also comments welcomed on suitable switching methods between antennae ...
Obviously Id like to switch betweed my QFH and this new beast at least ...so what do scanner or radio enthusiasts do .. ?
Simple A/B switches (mechanical) or is there an electronic method ..similar to diseqc switching ?
Or _maybe_ it is possible to merge connections from both antennae so both remain connected at the same time...thus no switching needed.
All input on this welcomed.
