Which antenna is which, and what are they for?

This bundle comes with 3 antennas. Two of them are fixed-frequency, and one is variable.The variable one is the familiar telescoping style you would find on most small radios.The 433MHz antenna is the one about 17.2CM long.UHF is 300 MHz to 3 GHz (the shorter fixed length antenna)The higher the frequency, the shorter the antenna. Most of the little antennas we see are 1/4 wavelength.There are dozens of websites with frequency to length calculators if you want to be specific with your antenna.I tend to use the variable telescoping one more often than the other two.

what operating systems is this work with?

I have been able to get it to work with Windows 10, and several flavors of Linux such as UBUNTU, and Raspbian which run on the raspberry pi 3b.

Do i need to rin tbis with a tuner to use with raspberry pi?

Understanding that you meant "Do I need to run this with a tuner to use with Rpi?", here are my two cents: Installing what's needed (there are plenty of tutorials on youtube), it's basically plug and play. Just make sure to use a good USB HUB to connect the SDR, keyboard and mouse to, and for God's sake, use a GOOD low noise 2-3A power supply, as the Rpi is very sensitive to power glitches.

What all os does it work with, what software is best, does it have software with it?

Linux in my opinion is best OS for all SDR applications, The GNU radio software is complimentative of all NooElec's SDR equipment. Although you will have to change the USB repository from recognizing it as a DVB-T device. Check out GitHub.com for instructions.
