UHF Receiver for arduino

Ahoy Hoy

Back again with another question.

Anyone know of a decent UHF receiver which I could use to make a RF scanner. Needs to be able to do 470mHz to 865mHz.

Plan is to turn my arduino Uno into a little RF scanner.

This is milli-hertz not mega-hertz. Use capital M for mega (x 1,000,000) and lower case m for milli (x 0.001) As for the radio, they are not generally cheap. I recommend the RF Explorer for general purpose RF, they have a variety of models with excellent features and support. If you want something specifically for the arduino you get into more limitations. There are some super cheap modules on ebay which could be used for measuring the amount of stuff on a certain band, say 433MHz. You would need to get several modules operating on different bands in order to do actual scanning. Finally you could try to use a custom general purpose RF transceiver IC which can operate over a wide band (again not exactly cheap).

Cheers!
