Kiwirecorder script returning errors on 2 kiwis (ports 8074, 8075) [actually configuration error]

Setup: 3 Kiwis at remote location, using the same external IP address, ports 8073, 8074, 8075.

Addresses: g0luj.ddns.net:8073, g0luj.ddns.net:8074, g0luj.ddns.net:8075

Issue: The web interface works on all three Kiwis, but the Kiwiwspr script fails when the KiwiSDRs on 8074 and 8075 are tasked. 8073 is working normally.

Upon further investigation, Kiwiwspr makes use of Kiwirecorder.py, which returns the errors below when tested:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

./kiwirecorder.py -s g0luj.ddns.net -p 8073 -f 5450 -m usb --ncomp --tlimit=10 (No Errors)

./kiwirecorder.py -s g0luj.ddns.net -p 8074 -f 5450 -m usb --ncomp --tlimit=10

    I am pretty sure that AI6VN does that with success, I alerted him to your post

    Subtle problem: compared to 8073, 8074 and 8075 are both configured with an extra closing parenthesis at the end of the "Location (lat, lon)" field on the sdr.hu tab of the admin page, i.e. "gps=(53.886303,-2.621231))"

    Thanks John. It would have taken me a long time to find that extra parenthesis. All working now.

    Cause of error: KiwiSDR 8073 was already configured for the remote site. KiwiSDRs 8074 and 8075 had to have their location details updated, by taking the information from 8073.
    In doing so, at some point, an extra parenthesis was copied and pasted into a Location field causing the script to fail.

    I will improve the input parsing for this field to prevent the problem in the future.
