  • VDSL filter for the Kiwi SNR measurement

    Well, this entire thing quickly becomes yet another SNR-related rabbit hole. One that I can ill afford at the moment given all the other important stuff I'm working on. I'm only doing it because of a person who is very unhappy the top NZ SNR score is due to VDSL noise.

    I should have never added any SNR capability. The project has actually suffered because of it.

  • I think I'm only allowing 1 user on my KiwiSDR v2. [fixed]

    Yes, because it makes no sense to try and register a Kiwi as being public when there will be no channels anyone can connect to!

    If you want all your channels to have a password then presumably everyone who knows the password also knows how to get to your Kiwi.

  • Still determining local interface address??? What's that mean???

    So I think the summary here is that there are routers that behave badly and the Kiwi code needs to be changed to accommodate that. Starlink after a power outage is another case. Apparently it takes forever for the terminal to acquire sats and assign an IPv4 address.

    The wording of that menu item is perhaps not 100% clear. But I couldn't think of a better way of saying it.

  • VDSL filter for the Kiwi SNR measurement

    I've prototyped a VDSL "filter" to be used with the Kiwi SNR measurement (I used kiwirecorder for the prototyping). I works well for the one Kiwi I know about that has bad VDSL noise, causing it to have inflated SNR values.

    If you know of other Kiwi's with this problem please comment here or email support@kiwisdr.com so I can try them out -- Thanks.

    Basically, once the VDSL segment is identified it is excluded from the SNR measurement. Same as we have now for masked frequency segments.

  • kiwirecorder v1.6: netcat / camping modes now support resampling

    By request: The resampling option now works with netcat and camping modes. Just update your kiwiclient clone to get the changes.

    TDoA and kiwiclientd tested this time to make sure I didn't break them (hopefully, lol)

    "/" is considered one of the keys that are redirected to the frequency field (also 0-9 . , : - # k M enter/return backspace/delete). And that must be terminated by an enter/return. Because instead of a plain "/" you could have typed "/low,high" or "/width" (passband specification) as the frequency field help shows.

  • Hackers be hacking..

    From the admin console type: cdk; rm opt.debug and then restart. That will stop those additional logging messages.

    @smg Running fail2ban would kill the Linux realtime response causing the audio to break up as the Kiwi server process becomes starved for CPU cycles. You can't run a heavy process like a Python interpreter at the same time. We are already extremely lucky that running kernel iptables filtering and user mode frp proxying doesn't cause trouble.

  • Practical PCB RF design

    Wow, one of the few times the YouTube algorithm has recommended an extremely useful video.

    In a few minutes I learned more about practical PCB RF design than I ever knew. Very easy to understand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhuHAhIKWoM

    Should be better if you restart to get v1.815
