SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: Kiwi SDRs

« on: March 14, 2020, 0957 UTC »

The Twente SDR is able to handle a large number of users at one time, I forget what the limit is, it could be 100 or more.

The Twente SDR displays how many users are currently connected, and I remember it's always in the 400 range.

What bothers me with so many Kiwi SDRs is the RFI noise level they suffer on SW. Why purchase a not so cheap piece of hardware, spend time installing it on a PC, spend part of limited upload flow, and not chasing the RFI around, not installing a good receiving antenna ?
