I have a tv tuner *TRIGGER WARNING*dongle*TRIGGER WARNING* and want to start recording some of hte local airwaves. My tuner has a big band gap though and also only goes up to 1ghz or something. Is there any cheap hardware that will get into the 2.4ghz range?

The master plan here is to try and accumulate a data set of radio broadcasts and see if I can do some speech to text

what do you want to pick up at 2.4 GHz? there are no analog broadcasts to pick up above the 23cm band (and that's not exactly crowded) that I know of, if you want people talking I'd start at 144 MHz and 430 MHz and tune up the repeaters there

Oh yeah I guess nobody has cordless home phones anymore anyways

I also have one of these transceivers http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EZ430-Chronos but i've yet to get it working anywhere. I wanted to use it with rfcat but got sidetracked/lazy

I'm looking to use two receivers and write some code to follow the local pd/fire/muni channels that are in the clear
