SNR Measurement only uses RX0? [no, but needs a waterfall-capable channel]

I have been watching the SNR measurement routine using the KiwiSDR monitor (a great app) and have noticed that if RX0 is in use, the SNR measurement routine, when it activates, will just "spin its wheels" before giving up. I have to free up RX0, and then I can see the SNR routine running once again using RX0. It's a real issue for me since I run my KiwiSDR in the six-receiver channel mode and use up to five of its receivers for various digital modes: WSPR, SSTV, QRSS, FT8, etc. I can't figure out how to tell them to stay clear of RX0 or how to block RX0 so it can't be used. But, to me, the SNR routine should just use the first free receiver channel it can find. So has anyone else noticed this and can tell me how to keep RX0 clear, because I do want the SNR measurements (made at 10-minute intervals)?

    You say "six-receiver channel mode". Do you mean the 8-channel mode where only rx0 & rx1 have waterfalls and the other six get audio FFTs? The SNR measurement routine requires a waterfall-capable channel. I tried it just now in 8-ch mode and it works just fine if rx0 or rx1 is open.

    Are you using the no_wf URL parameter to force connections to channels 2-7? I can make a connection that gets rx0. Then make another connection using no_wf that gets rx2. Then force an SNR measurement using the "measure now" button and it will use rx1, no problem.
