Missing a WSPR setting
I have 2 Kiwi's. My "standard" configuration for each Kiwi is: 7 "receivers" are dedicated to receiving WSPR. With te last software change I can dedicate no more than 6 receivers to WSPR. As a result I miss two WSPR frequenties. Can someone help me out to go back to 7 WSPR receivers ? Many thanks in advance.

Check the setting of your Admin->Control->Number of simultaneous channels available for connection by non-Kiwi apps
I'll have a fix for this tomorrow.
Many thanks. I will wait for the fix.
Dear OM, have checked the simultaneous channels available for connection by non-Kiwi Apps. It is set to 8.

Okay, if you wait for your Kiwi to auto-update to v1.600 (or restart to manually update) this problem should be fixed. The prior behavior is restored: initially autorun will use all channels of an 8 channel Kiwi (i.e. rx8_wf2 configuration). It's just preemption restart that will not use the waterfall channels (rx0/rx1).
Dear OM, It is still not functioning. The URL of one of my Kiwi's is http://213.109.126.8:8074/ or 8073
The Up-date is done
Well, it works for me. I can configure 7 or 8 WSPR autoruns and the last one or two will appear on channels rx0/rx1.
Are you sure you have more than 6 WSPR autoruns enabled? And are they all on a unique frequency setting in the autorun menus? New code prevents starting an autorun if a menu entry is a duplicate.
I can take a look if you set a temporary admin password and email it to support@kiwisdr.com
Also, you must be sure the preemption is not set on the autoruns (I see they are set on :8074). Otherwise incoming user connections will kick the WSPR autoruns from channels rx0/rx1 and they will not be restarted like they will be for rx2-rx7.
Dear OM, many many thanks for your help ! Both of the Kiwi's functioning great again!
Best regards,

Hi Willem,
You would get more spots if you were to run wsprdaemon rather than the Kiwi's internal auto WSPR. See wsprdaemon.org if you are interested.

As usual I agree with Rob about wsprdaemon. Great for serious monitoring and has an active community with a very supportive forum of their own.
