Thanks James,

That worked this time.  Where do I find what frequency the Oregon temp units transit on?

If you only have 1 radio connected then you dont need to worry about setting serial numbers or anything. Just plug it in and then setup a plugin instance. Even if the radio frequencies and such are not what you finally will need, just getting it to run at all will show that it can find the radio or not.

Where do I download the drivers/software for this device.  I went to the RTL-SDR.com <http://rtl-sdr.com/> <http://rtl-sdr.com/ <http://rtl-sdr.com/>> site and they also only talk about the windows software.  What to do now?
