KiwiSDR: BeagleBone Software-defined Radio (SDR) with GPS

Turn your BeagleBone Black into a wide-band (0-30 MHz) SDR with a
multi-user web interface. Includes a software-defined GPS receiver.

What is KiwiSDR?

KiwiSDR is a software-defined radio (SDR) covering shortwave, the
longwave and AM broadcast bands, various utility stations, and amateur
radio transmissions, world-wide, in the spectrum from 10 kHz to 30
MHz. The KiwiSDR is a custom circuit board you connect to an
inexpensive BeagleBone Black or Green computer. Add an antenna, power
supply, internet connection, then install the software package to be
running in minutes.

An HTML5-capable browser and internet connection will let you listen
to a public KiwiSDR anywhere in the world. Up to four people can
listen simultaneously to one receiver — each listener tunes
independently.

A fellow Kiwi is attempting to crowdfund a world-wide network of
open-source, software-defined, radio receivers. Once in place, this
will allow anybody anywhere in the world to scan the 0 to 30MHz RF
spectrum from the comfort of their HTML-5 web browser.

Built on top of the Beaglebone, the "KiwiSDR" RF board also includes a
GPS receiver front-end, which will allow timing between receivers to
be correlated, giving a lot of options for projects like long baseline
interferometry and lightning detection.

Prototypes are already deployed, and I've been RXing in Sweden,
Australia and New Zealand. [The KiwiSDR design has been detailed on
JKS.com, where there is a link to the project's Kickstarter page.]
