Listen up to 32 MHz

This KiwiSDR can receive up to 32 MHz. There are several school bus frequencies in the 29-31 MHz range that offer local activity. During times of good propagation you can often hear other interesting comms in this area.

Amateur radio (voice comms):

28.300-28.500 - SSB activity (SSB can be heard up to 29.000 MHz)
29.000 MHz (+/-) - AM activity
29.600 MHz - 10 meter calling frequency
29.620, 29.640, 29.660, and 29.680 - 10 Meter FM repeaters

Business/commercial:

You can hear some business use in the 29.710 - 29.790 MHz range and much more in the 30-31 MHz range. Almost all activity is FM mode.

There is a squelch setting in FM mode. Go to the Audio tab and slide it up to around 40 (+/-) until the static stops. When a station transmits the squelch will open and you will hear the audio. If you set the squelch too high you will not hear weak signals.

Intermittent Antenna Issue Fixed

Over the last week or two I noticed that signals on the KiwiSDRs occasionally dropped 10-20 dB or more and then would go back up to normal full strength. I dropped the antenna today and noticed that one of the wing nuts on the balun that connected one of leg of the dipole to it was loose. (We've had several days of strong winds over the last couple of weeks.) Been listening to it for about an hour now and the issue seems to be resolved. Enjoy listening!

Receiver Timeouts Increased

For your wintertime listening pleasure, the session timeouts and maximum daily times have been increased. On receivers 1, 2, and 3 there is a 3 hour per session timeout and a 10 hour per day maximum per person. On receiver 4 there is a 6 hours per session timeout and a 18 hour per day maximum per person. Timeouts are instituted to make sure that inactive sessions don't tie up a receiver and prevent others from using it. If your session times out you can reconnect up to the daily maximum. https://n1nte.blogspot.com/p/online-kiwisdr-receivers.html

Improved Interface for Smartphone Use

Some experimental code has been added to all four KiwiSDR receivers that should allow for a better experience while using a smartphone. I welcome any feedback on this that you might have.
