they sold it to me as ADS-B tuner , oh well you live and learn :-), Thanks for the heads up and taking the time to respond the fact R820T needs to be included in my searches now has helped , i’ve ordered a new one and hopefully should be up and running in a few days, thanks again
So don’t hesitate to ask, there are no stupid questions here and we all have had the same learning curve
