Usually fix them directly in the PC USB socket is not an easy way, often the PC is far from the antenna cable inlet and we need to use other long pig-tails to connect the receiver to the antenna.\u00a0 Also the use of longer USB cable so to put the receiver somewhere on the radio desk is not a convenient way, sometime this cable doesn&#8217;t support the fast USB transmission\u00a0not allowing the passage of data.\u00a0But the biggest problem is precisely where to &#8220;lay&#8221; the receiver, it is light and small but for this reason it is difficult to manage with its two cables. I solved all this using a simple USB 3.0 female data extention.\u00a0I got it as a partner company gadget but you can find them on the Internet at various prices.\u00a0It is very solid, heavy and has non-slip feet.
