Wideband IQ streaming mode for local processing? [better late than never!]
Technically it violates the entire spirit of the Kiwi ethos. Why would you spend money on a Kiwi as an IQ generator to drive SDR software on a PC when there are better alternatives for that kind of setup?
But having the option is another point of flexibility/experimentation with the Kiwi I suppose. Anyway, it will all make a lot more sense here within the next 6-12 months or so. Maybe sooner.

And now SDR++Brown has Kiwi support. Audio bandwidth only of course (for now). Nice Kiwi map integration.
I'm still working on "advanced tech" that will make the bandwidth increases mentioned in the posts above more easily obtained. Which would directly translate to increased bandwidth with SDR++Brown.

kiwirecorder v1.5 released
Kiwirecorder v1.5 contains two new features:
* Continuous scanning. Leaving out the "threshold" parameter from the scan.yaml will cause scanning and file recording to be continuous. That is, no squelch will be applied. See the file SCANNING for detailed information.
* Camp mode. Instead of creating a new connection to the Kiwi when kiwirecorder is run it can now "camp" onto an existing connection and record whatever audio the camped user is listening to. Very similar to the camp capability that is presented via the camp/queue panel that appears when you try and connect to a Kiwi when all its channels are full. See the option
--camp=CAMP_CHAN
where CAMP_CHAN is the Kiwi channel number to camp on (e.g. 0..4 for rx0..rx4).Note that a 2-channel (stereo) file or netcat stream is always produced because you can't predict what the camped user will do. They may switch from a mono mode (e.g. USB) to a stereo mode (e.g. IQ) at any time. For mono modes the single channel audio is duplicated in both channels. Things also work when the camped user switches compression mode on and off.
Camp mode also works with the
--netcat
option. For an example see the Makefile "camp" target.
