I have a version of these just curious, what is the exact reason for keeping it out (or you have a pointer to the discussion) ? Slightly off-topic: The 2832-based sticks have become very popular recently because the stick can be used as a programmable spectrum analyzer, see e.g. http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/osmocom-sdr/2012-March/000041.html I have tried the code at http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr and it builds and runs fine on FreeBSD (once you ignore the auto* stuff and build your 2-line makefile) cheers luigi
