SDR on iPads?
alpard:
I am thinking buying a SDR, but wondering, if my iPad could run with a SDR.
It is an old iPad about 10 year old. But it still works fine on most apps.
Failing that, I have an IMac OSX 10.11.
If none of them works with SDR, does it mean that I must buy a new PC too?
I have an old Android pad too, but that is about the same age as the Macs.
ChrisSmolinski:
iPad? Not directly but you could via a web browser.
Why not get a KiwiSDR? It does everything itself, no special software to run. You put it on your network, then you can use it from your computer, iPad, whatever, in a web browser.
alpard:
KiWi SDR sounds great, but now it is hard to find, and the price seems too high.
Are they still in production and being marketed?
What is the data rate? Recently 16bit SDR RX888 seems storming the SDR market.

Yes, still sold. They're in such high demand, they are hard to find, and production constrained. I understand a new batch is being made now.
It's quite powerful for the price, it has 4 independent receivers (8 if audio only with no waterfalls). I have two amongst my SDRs and use them frequently, in addition to sharing them online for others to use:

That's a brand new radio. Lots of chatter, I have not yet seen many hands on reports of performance. What's the price?
alpard:
I think it goes between $130 - $180. That's quite reasonable I would have thought.
