Start with the question

Choose between a compatible public KiwiSDR and a personal RTL-TCP receiver. Public receivers expose directory status and coverage; personal RTL-TCP requires a verified host, the correct HF profile, and a network path you control.

Read the evidence in layers

DXLens deliberately separates schedule truth, technical data, model inputs, current conditions, and the eventual real-world reception. Missing evidence remains missing; uncertainty is not silently converted into confidence.

Important boundary

A schedule is not a signal measurement. A forecast is not a reception guarantee. Public receivers are not operated by DXLens; personal RTL-TCP endpoints are configured by the user.

Take the next action

Open the relevant screen, inspect the source or assumption labels, and make the smallest useful change. Save a Custom view or SDR preset only when the configuration is worth returning to.
