Start here: http://sdr.w5tsu.net:8073 ( Kiwi SDR ) http://sdr.w5tsu.net:8074 ( Kiwi SDR ) http://sdr.w5tsu.net:8075 ( OpenWebRX ) This includes both HF, VHF, and UHF I have a new radio. I picked up a KiwiSDR (http://kiwisdr.com/) receiver from Seeed. (https://www.seeedstudio.com/KiwiSDR-Kit-p-2725.html). The KiwiSDR was developed by the Funkamateur John Seamons ZL / KF6VO, is a branch of the OpenWebSDR project and realy started life as a kickstarter project. This is the best HF (10kz-30mz) receiver I own. »
