SDR in project box

I could not get this to work on HF. The VHF worked fine, and you can use drivers to reach ~12Mhz, but the HF portion of this SDR did not work. I opened it up and it is the orange board, with a dongle and some HF filtering, and tried soldering the antenna input directly to the chip for direct sampling. After soldering for direct sampling, I tried again, and this time it did open up the AM Broadcast, but I could not receive any shortwave or anything over 1.4Mhz. It wasn't too big an ordeal, I just figured I would try it out. You do get a working VHF dongle in a shielded case, but do not expect HF to work, it is basically a dongle in a box.
