Many of you know the DV-Stick 30, it was originally known as the NW-Digital wireless Amateur Radio ThumbDV™ https://nwdigitalradio.com/products/thumbdv%E2%84%A2
At some point Combitronics and DV-Mega jumped on board and the DV-Stick 30 was born.
Since then the DV-Stick 30 has become a very popular solution with radio amateurs that have no way of either erecting antennas or having the usual array of radio paraphernalia. eg.. Residential home tenants, long term hospital patients, travellers, to name but a few.
The wonderfully simple yet full featured software from David PA7LIM is a gold standard in free to use applications for the enthusiast Ham.. You can download the software here: http://www.pa7lim.nl/bluedv/ it's available for all the main PC OS's from android to Linux.
That being said it sometimes has a few issues in the set up, with the most frustrating being the drivers missing and the device not being recognised, as always there is a solution. The drivers can be found here: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%20v2.12.28%20WHQL%20Certified.zip CDM-V2
