Sinopse
No Antenna Required
How to tune in AM talk radio and shortwave from your PC, tablet, or smart phone — anywhere with internet access. Listen to live signals, in any country, without your own radio, for free and no strings attached. It may sound crazy, but such a thing is real. This book is a guide to tuning in the world using remote radio receivers located all over the world. It is a recent and powerful technology combining software defined radio with broadband internet.
A Quick Reference Handbook
With KiwiSDRs, you can be anywhere and enjoy AM radio from Brazil or Australia on your PC or phone. You can be in Athens or Singapore and tune in ham radio signals heard in Vancouver or Dublin. Internet connected receivers like the KiwiSDR democratize shortwave radio. This book is an operator's reference, giving technical knowledge, best operating practices, and techniques which really work. Whether you are a ham radio operator, journalist, or simply a person who enjoys radio, this book will help you make the most of the hundreds of KiwiSDRs around the world.
Radio Which Liberates
Where did this nifty internet connected shortwave radio come from? A confluence of trends made the KiwiSDR possible. Computing power was becoming less costly and more compact. Radio and software engineers were improving in methods of digitally processing signals, relying less on coils, crystals, diodes, and capacitors and more on mathematics. Funding for the KiwiSDR came from crowdfunding: amassing a lot of small donations from people around the world who learned about the project on and believed it was worth supporting.
The KiwiSDR is a tool of freedom, in a way, as people subject to censorship in their countries may tune in and listen to free media beyond their borders. Some governments block internet access to broadcasters like the BBC, trying to cut their people off from news the government can't control. But anyone can open a KiwiSDR located overseas and access the blocked programming.
