This is a private, non-public forum for discussing technical topics related to the genuine (original) KiwiSDR product. The forum monthly operating costs are funded out of the profits from selling KiwiSDRs.

We reserve the right to edit or remove your posts or to ban your participation. If you want to criticize our work that's fine. Just do it somewhere else please. We are all very busy and don't want to spend a lot of time managing chaos on the forum.

• New participants: Take some time to understand the product, the community, the ecosystem and the limitations that have evolved since the product introduction in 2016. The project authors do not have the resources or capabilities you might think they do.
• Don't ask support questions about non-genuine KiwiSDR devices. There are other support forums specifically for those devices. If you're not going to support us by buying our stuff you shouldn't be surprised when we don't reciprocate.
• No "low effort" posts. Search the forum and website FAQ for an answer before asking your question. 
• Don't complain about well known, long-standing technical limitations such as: audio latency, lack of https/TLS, run-as-root, spotting efficiency of the WSPR extension etc. We know all about these issues and most have been discussed for many years. They are either difficult to solve, have no solution or are way down on the priority list.
• Don't violate security "zero-day" rules. Don't report security vulnerabilities here or on Twitter. Send them to the support email instead.
• Don't attempt to explain what you think "open source" means. Everyone is wrong about that. Including me.

Thank you.

Should be okay now. Someone made a weird Kiwi configuration which broke the TDoA script on kiwisdr.com. This has happened once before I believe.

Hello Brian. You are most certainly welcome here even if you're only a listener to the Kiwi network and don't own any Kiwi hardware. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Donations to individual public Kiwis are always appreciated by their owners. Most of them go to great lengths to site Kiwis in remote, electrically quiet, locations. Usually with expensive Internet connections that the donations help offset.

These are from a recent attempt to make a "user preferences" function work. They are required by xdLocalStorage. I tried again about 6 months ago with xdLocalStorage. More recent browser security changes mean the scheme had to be changed once again compared to work that was done some years ago. It quickly got complicated, so I had to set the work aside for the moment.

For those that don't know, user preferences would be an extension that allows you, an ordinary Kiwi user (not owner/admin), to do things like: Setting the default cw passband set to 270 Hz and have that apply to every single Kiwi you ever visit from that point onward. Or the same with keyboard shortcut bindings. Or just about any other user interface customization that could be easily added.

That, plus a real mobile user interface, are the two major missing elements of the software (besides adding an extension to decode your favorite modulation waveform).
