Hi Thomas, I just noticed that Amazon has an inventory of KiwiSDRs for sale. I’m planning to snag one even though I don’t plan to put it online (because my IPDSL connection is just too slow). I’ve always wanted one and let’s just say I’ll be ready to join the community if I ever get a bandwidth upgrade! Price on Amazon is $299 for the full kit.
Thanks for the tip, Mike! You and I are in similar situations–my KiwiSDR (a gift from Mark Fahey–thanks!) would be online right now if I had the bandwidth and enough monthly data to support it. Like you, when I get an Internet pipeline upgrade, one of the first things I’ll do is put my KiwiSDR online!

Looks like they sold out very fast as I can’t see any available now
Yes, the 10 on Seeed’s website went within a few days. Same now for Seeed Amazon. They were from a build of 50 units, the bulk of which went to restock a distributor in the UK. A build of another 100 is in process. There was also a mixup with Mouser USA’s restock order that we’re trying to get fixed.
They’re great radios and a simple, uncluttered UI….a great combination
I love the two I have (mykiwisdr.hopto.org:8073 and 8074).
