Description
KiwiSDR is a software-defined radio (SDR) covering shortwave, the longwave & AM broadcast
bands, various utility stations, and amateur radio transmissions, world-wide, in the spectrum
from 10 kHz to 30 MHz. The KiwiSDR is a custom circuit board (cape) you connect to the
BeagleBone GreenorBeagleBone Black computer. You simply add an antenna, power supply and
network connection. The KiwiSDR is available in two versions: the cape alone and a more
complete version including BBG, enclosure and GPS antenna. Both versions include software
supplied on a micro-SD card.
An HTML5-capable browser and internet connection will let you listen to a public KiwiSDR
anywhere in the world. Up to four people can listen simultaneously to one radio — each listener
tunes independently.
Try it right now! Listen to KiwiSDR registered on the sdr.huwebsite.
Features
100% Open Source / Open Hardware.
Browser-based interface allowing four simultaneous user web connections.
Each connection tunes an independent receiver channel over the entire spectrum.
Waterfall tunes independently of audio and includes zooming and panning.
Multi-channel, parallel DDC design using bit-width optimized CIC filters.
Good performance at VLF/LF since we personally spend time monitoring those frequencies.
Automatic frequency calibration via received GPS timing.
Easy hardware and software setup. Browser-based configuration interface.
Extension interface for adding decoders and utilities.

Is a power supply required for simple HF listening, or is the voltage from the usb enough? Also, I/O can be
through ethernet or USB, correct?

I take back the part about I/O through USB. Just the question about the power supply. Thanks.
@dan.barr Hi Dan. Power has to be applied to the Kiwi's round (2.1/5.5 mm) DC jack. 5V @ 1.5 to 2A. USB power on
the BBG can't handle the current (it won't even power-up). See here: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-

@jks Thank you. Just one follow up: Will I need a preselector/high pass filter for strong AM interference?
@dan.barr Hi Dan. Yes, it is possible you will need an HPF. Depends on how strong your local AM BCB signals are.
