  • Recommended routers?

    Okay, sounds like they're just giving you an ONT with E/GE ports and leaving the rest to you.

    Awesome!

    Wrap that stuff in a <style> ... </style> and chuck it in the box at the bottom of the webpage tab of the admin page that says "Additional HTML/Javascript for HTML element (e.g. Google analytics)". Then you don't have to edit any files and the changes will persist across software updates. And it's easier to experiment with. No need to restart the Kiwi or anything. Just edit the stuff in the box and reload the user connection to see the result. Edits in the box are saved to the Kiwi configuration as you type each time you press the return key (arguably a bug).

    i.e.
    
    @media only screen 
    and (max-device-width: 600px)
    {
    #id-readme {
    display: none;
    }
    
    #id-control {
    transform: scale(.8);
    transform-origin: bottom right;
    right:0 !important
    }
    
    div#id-top-bar * {
    font-size: 0.9em;
    }
    
    #id-band-container {
    
    display: none;
    }
    }

  • kiwirecorder noise [fixed]

    Along with the "--nb" option I just added, the latest kiwirecorder now has passband defaults for all the modulation modes. So if you say "--lsb" without specifying the passband with "-L/-H" it will use the same default passband as the Kiwi browser interface.

  • Noiseblanker for kiwirecorder [fixed]

    Okay, I just added "--nb" and related options. See the kiwirecorder help ("make help") and the "nb:" target in the Makefile.

  • OpenWebRX [using a transverter/down-converter with the Kiwi]

    Currently the noise situation is terrible on that Kiwi. You've got a very bad case of Ethernet noise every 60 kHz in certain places (e.g. especially 20m). Also, there is a very loud carrier every 200+ kHz. Then there is a terrible switcher starting at 40 kHz with each harmonic getting successively wider in bandwidth. This is probably responsible for a lot of the broadband noise at HF.

    All of this makes it difficult to judge what's going on.

  • installing Kiwirecorder on Ubuntu 16.04?

    Note that passbands are specified in a way that might not seem obvious for LSB reception. While you would say "-L 300 -H 3300" for a 3000 Hz wide USB passband the equivalent for LSB is "-L -3300 -H -300". The easiest way to understand this is to zoom in and mouse over the yellow passband graphic in the Kiwi UI and look at the values displayed for passband low, high, center frequency, bandwidth and carrier point as you mouse over different parts of the passband. The passband low/high points are always read left-to-right.

    Of course the passband can be whatever you want. So you could have an asymmetrical AM passband where the low side was -5000 and high side 2500.

    In fact it is a fiction to have the modes USB, LSB and CW. Internally to the Kiwi it is really only mode SSB with USB/LSB/CW defined only by the passband shape. For example, you can get DSB simply by setting a passband that resembles an AM passband while in any of the SSB modes.
