Online KiwiSDR Receivers




Four KiwiSDR receivers are available for public use. These receivers cover 0-32 MHz and are connected to a Palomar Engineering 80m - 10m off center fed dipole at approximately 65 ft above ground. This location is fairly quiet and offers very good reception within this frequency range.

Everyone is welcome to use these receivers if they abide by a few guidelines:
  • Please be considerate of others. Don't stay connected to the receiver if not actively listening.
  • Do not connect to more than one receiver at a time. This will get you banned.
Please use SDR1 first as it will automatically forward you to the next available receiver if full. All receivers have a generous 180 minute (3 hr) session time out and a limit of 600 minutes (10 hrs) per day per user.

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.

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!
