Swiss-SDRMaking reception accessible.

Filter the directory by location, canton, platform, frequency range, mode, reachability and available access information. A search such as ‘7.1 MHz’ finds receivers whose published coverage includes that frequency.

Compact cards show an image, location, platform and status. Search terms and filters remain in place when switching between list, map and receiver details.

The interactive map shows where receivers are located. Services at the same site are grouped; map popups contain individual receivers, small images and links to their detail pages. Colours and accompanying text indicate reachability.

Private sites can use approximate positions. Exact coordinates are published only with the corresponding permission.

Detail pages bring together available information about platform, hardware, antenna, coverage, modes, location, operator and availability, alongside images and the listening link. Multiple KiwiSDR, OpenWebRX or Web-888 services at one site remain individually selectable.

Site portraits can include photos, history, distinctive features, antenna technology and reports. Optional operator profiles introduce the people involved. Suitable site illustrations may supplement missing photographs and are identified accordingly.

Regular checks record reachability, while a history shows past checks and interruptions. Planned maintenance is shown separately. Green and red make the state recognisable in the overview, with text alongside.

Password requirements and reported occupancy are shown only when the receiver supplies reliable information. Missing or stale information is not treated as confirmed availability. Checks do not open a listening session. Online guarantees neither a free listener slot nor reception quality.

Each listening link opens the receiver’s original interface. Each of the three portal homepages can also have a ‘Listen live’ area with a selected KiwiSDR, OpenWebRX or OpenWebRX+ receiver.

The connection begins only when you start it. Controls offer start and stop, a larger view, restoration of the initial preset and opening the receiver separately. A preset frequency and mode help you get started; you then operate the complete original interface.

Save receivers as favourites and compare up to three directly. Your selection works across the three portals.

Signed-in users can create private listening bookmarks with a name, receiver and optional frequency and mode. The platform checks these settings against the published receiver information. Bookmarks can be searched, edited, deleted and reopened later.

‘Getting started & knowledge’ explains software defined radio and the path from antenna through receiving hardware and the Internet to your browser. OpenWebRX, OpenWebRX+, KiwiSDR and Web-888 are introduced individually, explaining the difference between receiver software and dedicated SDR hardware.

Step-by-step guides show how to open a receiver, choose frequency and mode, and use key controls. Mobile advice, common problems and interactive learning diagrams for AM and SSB sidebands complete the introduction.

News and project reports highlight developments. Operators can prepare site reports and submit them for publication. Approved reports appear in the news and alongside the relevant site.

Site subscriptions send account notifications about newly published receivers and reports. Optional email notifications can be switched off at any time. Routine online/offline checks do not trigger subscription notifications.

After registration and email verification, a wizard helps with address, equipment, coverage, location, images and further information. Save entries privately and submit them for review later. When updating a published receiver, its approved version remains visible until the revision has been reviewed.

The operator dashboard brings together receivers, tasks, checks and messages. Maintain or pause entries and manage maintenance windows. Existing receivers can be used as templates: the copy gets a new name and address and remains private initially.

Existing receivers without an assigned operator can be claimed. The applicant must provide verifiable evidence of control over that specific receiver. Management is transferred only after administrative review.

Site teams allow invitations to registered users with explicitly assigned receivers. Permissions take effect after acceptance and can be revoked. A site can be maintained together without sharing account passwords or broad administrator access.

A copyable embed code displays the public site overview on an external website. It includes published receivers, their last known status, the latest check and onward links, with light and dark appearances available.

The display regularly refreshes existing status information and does not open an audio connection. A club can show its receivers on its own site while continuing to manage them centrally through Swiss-SDR.

German, French, Italian and English are organised in the same management area. Pages and articles support text, images, galleries, links, notes and other content blocks. Previews, comparison with the public version and scheduled publication support editorial work.

Previous versions can be restored as private drafts. When source text changes, translation tracking flags versions needing review. Editors can compare old and current text and explicitly confirm the review.

Single and multiple uploads combine shared rights information with individual image descriptions. Image usage is traceable and images in use are protected against accidental deletion. A focal point controls crops with card, portrait and mobile previews, while the original is retained.

Featured receivers, their order, new publications and live listening can be configured per portal. The automatic ‘Popular’ label reflects sufficiently frequent receiver opens within a limited period. It describes usage, not reception quality.

Administration manages users, receivers, sites, content, media, claims and revisions. Users can be searched, filtered, edited, blocked and unblocked. Permissions, password processes and verification are managed centrally.

Receivers can be added without operator accounts. A CSV/JSON import with preview initially creates drafts and accounts for existing addresses. Bulk actions support pausing, restoring visibility, assignment and maintenance planning. Tasks, quality filters, protected statistics and change logs support ongoing maintenance.

Public pages and management tools are available in German, French, Italian and English on phones, tablets and computers. On supported devices, Swiss-SDR can be installed as a web app on the home screen or desktop.

Users control optional profile details, enable two-factor authentication, revoke sessions, export account data or delete their account. Statistics features depend on the corresponding consent. Contact, corrections and reports use the designated forms; receiver access conditions and usage rules remain the responsibility of each operator.
