Multi-Kiwi Station
Is there a way to sync all the channels of multiple kiwis such the the relationship of channels between kiwis is the same as it would be on the same kiwi? I assume that a soldering iron would be involved :-)
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

But for time I have no solution that gets multiple kiwiSDRs exactly synchronized.
I have just wondered about this features some days ago when dreaming of a second KIWI_sdr purchase
how would be possible to get both sync_ed on the same freq even without an active CAT connection.
This features would involve also the BFO_freq tuning by a sort of memory and this is a JKS field.

To see the results, you can compare the IQ-extension display at n6gn.no-ip.org:8074 while tuned to WWV's carrier on 25 MHz. (path is ~20kM LOS ) to get an idea of phase stability even when the Bodnar is quite unprotected from temperature changes.
Essentially this solution is much more accurate and stable than propagation via any ionospheric path.
I don't know what happens internal to the kiwi's FPGA but multiple kiwis all see the same reference with this method.

seems to let one examine the phase of the Kiwi w/ Bodnar against US NIST.
