Go to the Network tab on the KiwiSDR admin page to do this.<br /> <br /> == GPS Antenna ==<br /> The antenna that comes with the KiwiSDR works, but can be marginal, especially when used indoors. I bought [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LXRQY9A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?tag=blackcatsyste-20&amp;linkCode=w00 this antenna ] from Amazon, and it seems to work better. I also found that it helps tremendously to have the antenna sitting on a metal ground plane. A simple small aluminum baking sheet works great. I carefully adjusted the location of the antenna on the sheet, as well as the location of both (they are sitting on a shelf) for maximum signal(s) from the GPS satellites. <br /> <br /> I just replace the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil, and that seems to work even better.<br /> <br /> == Enclosures ==<br /> <br /> An all aluminum case is available from [https://www.seeedstudio.com/KiwiSDR-Enclosure-p-3012.html Seeed Studios] that includes a small cooling fan.</div>
