MagicSDR

MagicSDR is an application that allows you to listen to radio in the shortwave bands using SDR peripherals. To get started, you will need to set up a server on a host computer and connect your SDR peripherals, such as an rtl-sdr dongle or Airspy, to it. Alternatively, you can connect the SDR peripherals directly to your smartphone using a USB OTG cable. If you don't have any SDR peripherals, MagicSDR also has the ability to emulate a virtual radio device.

One of the great features of MagicSDR is its access to over six hundred servers around the world. This means that you can listen to radio in the shortwave bands without needing any special equipment. MagicSDR supports a variety of hardware, including KiwiSDR, RTLSDR dongle, Hermes Lite, HiQSDR, Airspy R2/mini/HF+, and SpyServers.

The application offers a wide range of features to enhance your listening experience. These include a wide band spectrum view, AM/SSB/CW/NFM/WFM demodulator, screen gestures, frequency bookmarks, band plan, Shortwave Guide (EiBi database), noise threshold squelch, audio over UDP for external data decoders, and the ability to record audio.

Feedback and bug reports are always welcome, as the developers are constantly working to improve the application. However, it is important to note that MagicSDR is not responsible for any legal issues that may arise from the use of the application. It is the user's responsibility to be familiar with local laws before using it.

In summary, MagicSDR is a versatile and user-friendly application that allows you to listen to radio in the shortwave bands using SDR peripherals or virtual radio devices. With access to a wide range of servers around the world and a variety of features to enhance your listening experience, MagicSDR is a great choice for anyone interested in shortwave radio. Just remember to use it responsibly and be aware of any legal implications.
