Is there a particular SDR network to go to or recommend?
There are four I know of:
o WebSDR - websdr.org
o KiwiSDR - kiwisdr.com/public
o UberSDR - ubersdr.org
o OpenSDR - rx-tx.info/map-sdr-points
They all have access to the same HF spectrum (0-30000 khz) but differ in features, UI and audio quality.
Right now, my favorite is UberSDR. It's the new kid on the block but the audio quality and wide variety of features keeps me coming back. The downside is it glitches occationally, but I'm sure those will get ironed out as it matures.
My least fav is OpenSDR. It's basically a clone of KiwiSDR but much smaller. Nothing there to distinguish itself.
WebSDR and UberSDR have the best audio quality, INO, but KiwiSDR/OpenSDR is perfectly acceptable, they just has a tinnier sound.
KiwiSDR and UberSDR have the widest feature set with regards to audio tools and receive modes.
Well, that should be enough to get you started. Any Qs, just ask.
