Hi all,

I’ve been programming a mobile client for the KiwiSDR protocol, and I finally have something worth sharing: QiwiQ. 

It’s a dark-theme, portrait-mode KiwiSDR app for Android.

Instead of running in the browser, my app processes the KiwiSDR stream locally on your phone.

With no official KiwiSDR protocol documentation available, I relied on example Python code and reverse-engineered browser clients to piece together how the protocol operates.

Features:

• Connects to the public shared KiwiSDR network of servers.

• Built-in waterfall FFT display with zoom and pan.

• Direct band buttons for fast hopping between ham/shortwave bands.

• Frequency logging and memory list.

• Audio options: noise reduction, compressor, ADPCM compression.

• Gestures for tuning: swipe digits, waterfall

• Knobs for volume, squelch and filters.

• Theme colors for the LCD display

It’s still early days, but it’s working pretty well, I guess ;-).

Side-load on Android, feedback/bugs very welcome!
