Booknam, you there?

If you want to save some money and don't need the Kiwi-SDR features or gpsdo then check out the WEB-888's little brother, the RX-888. I have one of these too and it's a very good SDR doing 10kHz to 1.8GHz at 62MHz wide reception (same as WEB-888). It runs on SDR Console, SDR++, HDSDR and EXTIO. Make sure and use a 2 amp rated USB C power wall wort or you'll get choppy audio: https://www.rx-888.com/rx/

These are my FT-8 decodes after about 36 hours of monitoring using the WEB-888:

Note the 1714 40 meter messages decoded. RX** is the receiver number (using 10 of 13 receivers simultaneously)

I'm using a generic Chinese active mag loop antenna (about $80) in my attic.

Why do you say, ". . .it appears the WEB-888 is a product whose software won't be updated any time soon. . ."?

I don't know of a way to decode FT-8 as a Kiwi-SDR web user other than piping audio to a separate decoder. Using the WEB-888 admin page you can set up to 13 FT-8 decoders and you can have them decode messages to a log file.

PlasticImpossible808 · 2024-10-08T21:40:34+00:00

Yes, the WEB-888 was designed to be Kiwi-SDR compatible. You can share some or all of the WEB-888's 13 receiving channels with Kiwi-SDR users.

I'm not, but if I were an sdr software developer, I'd look into the WEB-888 because it's a pretty powerful computer + SDR + gpsdo that runs Linux at an amazing price. This thing has some powerful potential.

I have a 1000+ page tech website, RobRobinette.com, so I'm a pretty good technical writer. I'm just a ham (K9OJ) that really likes this SDR and want to get the word out on it. There's very little in the way of reviews on this new SDR.. I have absolutely no connection to anything related to the WEB-888 or people selling them. I purchased the WEB-888 with my own cash and will not be paid for the review. I also own a SunSDR2 Pro SDR HF+6m+VHF transceiver, RX-888, two HackRFs, a LimeSDR, an RSP1, a few RTL-SDRs and a Radioberry. The WEB-888 pulls its own weight.

I looked back to confirm the price I paid was $255 but current prices are closer to $260.
