KiwiSDR 2

IMPORTANT NOTICE updated 1 Dec 2025 The USA import charge "de minimis" of USD$800 including freight which allowed items under $800 to enter the US from New Zealand without any fees ended on August 29. The US has also increased the tariff on goods from New Zealand to 15%. The international customs code that we are using looks like a Kiwisdr radio might be exempt even after the de mimimis ends but we won't know for sure until some of the shipments in transit arrive. All but one of the shipments since September have been delivered with no additional fees. However one was hit with $90 in fees.

We are collecting stats to see if we can figure out what the correct fees should be.

Sorry but this is a moving target

standalone software defined HF radio radio (0-30MHz) complete with BeagleBone Green in aluminium enclosure. Includes GPS antenna, self test cable.

Designed and built here in New Zealand.

They are shipped ready to plug and play. No other computer is required. Just plug in a 5V power supply, an Ethernet cable to your network, and an HF antenna and it will be accessible from anywhere in the world from the Internet.

Requires 5V 2A DC supply with standard 5.5mm round connector with 2.1mm centre hole.

For best performance the power supply needs to be very low noise. Genuine Apple USB iPhone chargers are very good. Cheap clones are terrible. We have had some USB A to 5.5mm/2.1mm DC cables made to work with iPhone chargers. Most USB cables use wires that are too thin so the volt drop causes problems. The cable is now available as an option when you purchase a Kiwisdr 2.
