MagicSDR

MagicSDR is working perfecting with my rtl_tcp service that is working with an RTL-SDR V4 Blog dongle. I am running rtl_tcp in a podman container on a fedora 43 server and it’s working perfectly with MagicSDR. I really like that I can see the entire 2m HAM band in the spectrum chart and I like that I can bookmark frequencies of my favorite repeaters and double tap on the spectrum to tune into a particular frequency. With this app I actually found a new repeater that I was unaware of doing a morning ragchew. Pretty impressive!

I have been running a public KiwiSDR receiver for years and always wanted an IOS client for it. Although very limited (see below) this app is an answer to that.The app will connect to KiwiSDR receivers and open a raw IQ stream. It will then proceed to demodulate the received stream within the app itself (AM,FM,SSB,CW are available).This is drastically different from how a KiwiSDR receiver normally works, the biggest difference being that you will only be able to see about 10KHz of spectrum bandwidth instead of 30MHz.The user interface is very, very basic and at times hard to use. Overall, however, this is the only IOS client I know of that works with my KiwiSDR and therefore I will keep using it.Note: I also tried the app with an RTL-SDR dongle but I was unable to do it successfully due to an error about Soapy that shoes in the logs.

It seems no wfm demodulator.
