Connect to a KiwiSDR receiver

Browse the public KiwiSDR directory and connect to a remote receiver for listening through AetherSDR. This lets you tune and listen to KiwiSDR receivers worldwide without needing a physical radio connection.

Before you start

• AetherSDR must be running (a radio connection is not required — the KiwiSDR applet works independently)
• The KiwiSDR applet relies on internet access to discover public receivers

Steps

1. Open the Applet Panel and click the KiwiSDR tile.
2. The KiwiSDR applet displays a searchable list of public receivers. Scroll or use the search field to find a receiver.
3. Click a receiver in the list to select it.
4. Click Assign to slice. The selected KiwiSDR is assigned to the active slice, and the status indicator shows the connection state.

What each control does
