KiwiSDR without Internet?
I was wondering if it is possible to run the KiwiSDR entirely without an Internet connection? I've tried several times but even though it gets an ip address from my local LAN DHCP server, it never seems to fully load into a browser-accessible gui (with frequency, waterfall and all the other controls) if that LAN isn't able to provide a connection to the Internet.

Do the log messages have anything interesting to say? If you can't bring up the log tab on the admin page you might have to ssh/PuTTY into the Beagle directly and have a look.
Last time I tried this was well over a year ago, so maybe newer firmware can now properly deal with this.
I will try again and see what happens with the one I'm running here.
I've used that for higher HF and above, I suppose you could use with a upconverter to look at HF issues.
A dongle + converter although lower quality (8bit) and narrower bandwidth should be cheap enough to provide a few "Club QRM kits" for loan.
Its also easier to walk the neighbourhood looking for sources with a mobile in hand and discrete kit in a pocket.
