  • Dragging band edge and losing the "handle" [fixed in v1.700]

    I've already fixed one aspect of this issue (will be included in the next software release).

    After a page reload all is well. Adjusting the passband edge works when the cursor is dragged anywhere in the grey frequency scale area. When the cursor enters the waterfall area below the scale the edge dragging stops and reverts to passband tuning.

    Here's the bug: As soon as you drag the waterfall just once then passband edge dragging in the lower half of the frequency scale breaks. It now behaves the same as a passband edge drag entering the waterfall area. Namely that the edge dragging stops and reverts to passband tuning.

    So that problem has been fixed. What I'm working on now is trying to make edge dragging persist no matter where the cursor wanders to. But this is much more difficult.

  • Dragging band edge and losing the "handle" [fixed in v1.700]

    Well, looks like I'm wrong about this.

    If you mess around long enough things change and you get the behavior you describe. Where the passband edges will no longer continue to adjust when the cursor is below the lower red mark in your diagram.

    I think I see what causes the problem. Let me see if I can develop a fix.

    After looking at this in more detail (after the other post complaining about the exact same thing).

    What you describe above should not be happening. Once you mouse-down on the passband edges to adjust the passband width the edges should track as long as the cursor stays anywhere in the entire grey frequency scale area. That means the upper part, where the passband symbol is. And the lower part, where the frequency ticks and numbers are.

    The edge tracking will stop, and the entire passband will move, if the mouse moves into the area above (i.e. dx labels, top bar or spectrum) or below (waterfall). This is what I've been meaning to fix. When you adjust the entire passband and move into these areas the passband movement continues because there is code to handler this special case. There needs to be something similar for PB edge adjustment.

    If you know of a Kiwi that does what you claim (stops tracking below the lower red line) I would like to see that myself because I need to understand why that is. I tried a bunch of public Kiwis running different versions and it never happened.

    This has been on my list to fix for a long time now. It's annoyingly difficult to fix.

    There are other methods for adjusting the passband: http://kiwisdr.com/info/#id-user-pbt

  • Band Bars Overlapping

    Yes, the overlapping bars are not the problem (as long as the color blending doesn't look too bad). It's just the text collision (overlapping) as you zoom in.

  • Band Bars Overlapping

    I tried a couple of times to fix the problem: The text from overlapping band bars can collide as you zoom in certain situations. Overlapping bars is not really a problem. It's just the text conflict. I couldn't come up with a good algorithm to fit it.

  • API?

    No there isn't. The regular web interface isn't even properly documented yet.

    About all you can do is take a look at kiwiclient / kiwirecorder or the server source code.

  • Hackers be hacking..

    An alert Kiwi owner/admin has sent me some suspicious log messages. They are obvious hacking attempts. If you see anything similar or unusual in your logs I'd appreciate it if you could forward the relevant log messages to support@kiwisdr.com

    I'm particularly interested in log messages containing ### SECURITY: NO AUTH YET:

    And also **** unknown stream type

    And any attempted admin login messages from IP addresses you're not expecting.

    So far the Kiwi security mechanisms appear to be working and there has not been any evidence of any breaches. Please be sure you have a good, strong admin password in place.

    The IP address in question has been added to the IP blacklist which your Kiwi should receive during the overnight update window. You can also update it manually on the admin page, network tab.

    Thank you.

    Remember that on the admin config tab you can adjust the ident field (name/callsign) length from the default 16 characters all the way up to 64.

  • Whats the trick to decoding FSK?

    I wish I could find some open source code that does FSK signal parameter classification (and digital classification in general). But software like that tends to be proprietary and cost money (and for good reason).

    Under the "decode" menu are two modes "scope" and "framing" that I used during development to help classify unknown signals to establish their parameters. But they are tricky to use and are not documented anywhere.
