List Web-888 SDR Instance on Maps
As with KiwiSDR, once an external URL was set by user for Web-888 SDR, they can consider listing the instance on a number of maps (online SDR site guides) for others to access.
Before deciding to list an instance, the user needs to meet the following requirements.
- The user has already set up the relevant site information in the administration (on the Public tab, with parameters such as latitude and longitude)
- Web-888 SDR does not have a guest password set
- Web-888 SDR default admin password has been changed in the administration
Selecting Map Services
Currently, users have the option to list Web-888 SDR instances in the following map services.
- Receiverbook: The Web-888 SDR Project recommends the use of Receiverbook, an online SDR site guide maintained by Jakob Ketterl
- LinkFanel: an online SDR site guide maintained by KiwiSDR
Instances can also be listed on both of the sites at a same time.
Receiverbook
Go to Receiverbook - add new receiver and enter the URL of the Web-888 SDR on that page.
example.rx-888.com
If the URL is a non-standard HTTP port, you will need to add the port number.
mydns.org:8073
Wait a moment and you will see your instance at receiverbook.de/map.
Linkfanel
Go to the Public tab in the Web-888 SDR administration and turn on the Register on rx.kiwisdr.com?
switch.
However, according to user feedback, KiwiSDR seems to block Web-888 SDR sites. This happens when a reverse proxy is used.
To keep Web-888 SDR be listed on Linkfanel permanently, users can take the following measures.
- Avoid including the keywords Web-888 SDR in the site information on the Public tab of the administration
- Use IP or DDNS as the access URL instead of reverse proxy
