Like the antennas on these: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=quadricop...pter-Radio-Controlled-Toy-FPV.jpg_350x350.jpgMaybe? I have had trouble finding one that will fit.

Oh I didn’t mean that you employ those specific antennas, nor those specific radio antennas; you’d need an RTL-SDR dongle...but I meant surely it must be possible to get the relèvent antenna (maybe a telescoping one) in the same format - where it sticks out of the side of the dongle like the ones in the image to which I linked?The thing is I need it to be able to receive between 87 and 108 MHz. So I can listen to FM radio.
Yeah I have the dongle. That's the issue though, I can't find an antenna like that for those frequencies.Oh I didn’t mean that you employ those specific antennas, nor those specific radio antennas; you’d need an RTL-SDR dongle...but I meant surely it must be possible to get the relèvent antenna (maybe a telescoping one) in the same format - where it sticks out of the side of the dongle like the ones in the image to which I linked?
Did your dongle not come with any antennas? If you already have the right antenna but the wrong connector, would an adapter not sort the issue?Yeah I have the dongle. That's the issue though, I can't find an antenna like that for those frequencies.
The antenna is a long wire that leads to a base, and the antennas screw onto the base. It works fine but it's so long.Did your dongle not come with any antennas? If you already have the right antenna but the wrong connector, would an adapter not sort the issue?
Ah, sorry I assumed it would have come with one of the telescopic antennas shown here: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/The antenna is a long wire that leads to a base, and the antennas screw onto the base. It works fine but it's so long.
Not what you wanted I think, but a year or two back Lidl did a battery charger (for NiCd/NiMH batteries mainly) that had a li-ion battery charger for batteries with three pin connectors built in. Maybe be more than two years ago, it was shortly before everyone started to build the battery into their phones and stop you popping the back to expose or change them.
Depends on how "universal" you want it to be. The usual ready-to-use universal charging devices that are supposed to be used for charging Li-Ion batteries are fairly expensive, as they are designed to not only charge different battery types but also whole packs with varying voltages. Directly charging Li-Ion batteries is not exactly a common consumer topic.I don't know if it is easier to just buy one universal charger if I would find one.
There are plenty of online services that offer printing things for you, still much cheaper than getting yourself a printer if you're not a regular user. And the better ones will likely have industrial-grade machines that achieve a quality you won't get with hobby printers.But if I had a 3D printer this would be nice.
It did. Those also can't connect directly to the dongle, they're on a base with a wire going to it.Ah, sorry I assumed it would have come with one of the telescopic antennas shown here: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/
