Hello,
I recently purchased a NooElec nesdr mini dongle. I want to install it
on Linux Mint 17.1. I have rtl-sdr installed. I have blacklisted the
dvb_usb_rtl28xxu driver. When I run rtl_test it reports that the dongle
is present and sending. When I run rtl_sdr -t to check the tuning range
it reports no E4000 tuner found.
This is the correct behavior. See
rtl_test --help
It means don't have an E4000.
If you did have an E4000, then the first test your ran would have failed.

Called NooElec for tech support. Got link for linux install but got
error “page not found”. Tried to get on their mailing list from their IE
page. Bad gateway error 502. Looks like support may be difficult to get
through NooElec.
Does this error indicate a defective rtl dongle? Where can I find the
install procedure for the NooElec R820T NESDR mini. All responses are
appreciated.
Thank you,
Marty, N3MOW
