First of a series of Videos on the KIWI sdr. Here we look at the physical Kiwi SDR setup and how the Kiwii can be used with any device that has an internet browser.
now that was really interesting Kevin, will the kiwi SDR cover VHF and UHF as well, just thinking about the direction finding using the GPS, I'd guess that'll be with a few receivers in sink with each other, in different locations.
As Far as I know-no. There was also a Chinese clone device which used the same software but was based on the Raspberry Pi but that also seems to have disappeared.
@@KevinOReillyswl I’m currently using OpenWebRX+ (note the +) with my Airspy HF+ Discovery which is getting closer in functionality to the Kiwi SDR software. Unfortunately the developers of the standard and plus versions of OWRX are not very friendly to users though!
I was not aware of Openwebrx + but have played with Openwebrx in the past and it worked well. The drawbacks compared to the Kiwi in my opinion were that with the Kiwi you can view the full HF spectrum at once and it can accomodate multiple users over the full bandwidth. I used an SDRplay with Openwebrx and you are restricted to a Max 10 Mhz bandwidth and in reality using a Raspberry Pi to drive it you would not get more than 2 Mhz. I will take a look at OpenWebrx+ though, thanks for the info.
@@KevinOReillyswl Agreed, bandwidth is the only drawback, and many of the Kiwi SDR features are missing, but to be able to access my SDRs from anywhere is a real bonus. I believe Kiwi SDR was based on the original OWRX project which is why it looks so similar. I currently keep it for my own use so don’t have any problems with other people switching frequencies or modes!

Adam no the Kiwi is HF only
can you please tell me which website , i can buy it
Unfortunately the Kiwi is not available new anymore.
These aren’t produced any more are they?
