If you haven’t yet tried the Society’s KiwiSDR receiver, you’re in for a treat. We’ve “customised ours for Australian conditions” so you’ll find features there that you won’t find on other web SDR receivers. This lecture by Richard VK2SKY explores everything from basic use to some of the lesser-known functions, and reveals many handy shortcuts to […]

A huge thanks to everyone who has helped with this project, it’s great to see it online. Matt VK2RQ, Phil VK2BDF and Horst VK2HL helped […]

These have all been brought together on the bench and compared to each other using SDR# and one of the Asus Xonar U7 sound cards. The first 3 units are working well and construction […]
