The rtl-sdr dongle I have (ATS-B receiver) draws too much current to be used with my tablet (Nexus 7 2013). At minimum, a powered USB hub would be required in this setup for it to work properly.

I have a RTL2832U/R820T reciever ( https://www.amazon.com/NooElec-NESDR-Mini-Compatible-Package...) (note - there are newer models now) and it works fine with a samsung galaxy note 3.
