WHAT YOU CAN HEAR
- International shortwave broadcasters from every continent
- Ham radio operators on SSB and CW — contests, DXpeditions, everyday QSOs

- Time signals, beacons and digital modes
Pick a receiver close to the signal you want: a server in Japan, Brazil or the Alps is one tap away. Somewhere the bands are always open.
HAVE YOUR OWN SDR HARDWARE?
MagicSDR also works as a fast native client for your own receivers. The app supports the SoapyRemote protocol, which means it works with any SDR device that has a SoapySDR driver.
More supported protocols:
- rtl_tcp — stream IQ data from the popular and affordable RTL-SDR dongles
- Airspy network — connect to Airspy receivers shared over the network
- Hermes-Lite — direct connection to the open-source Hermes-Lite 2 HF transceiver
