Special holder for the RTL-SDR dongle.

When using a RaspberryPi with a 3D printed enclosure design which is also on thingiverse.com I found out that with a RTL-SDR dongle connected it is very unstable and was scared to break it.

I designed a simple RTL-SDR dongle holder to work together with the RasPi as seen in the picture. The RF input of the dongle has enough space to have a big PL259 converter plug connected to it. There are also small gaps in the base for using a zip-tie to hold the dongle firmly but it is not necessary. When inserting the dongle into the holder it snaps snugly in place. I've exposed the dongle as much as possible for proper cooling.

I've got a report that the NEWGEN.RTL2832SDR dongle fits as well. See new picture.
