Wow.
Thank you for illustrating the whole generational stereotype.
Very funny, made my morning.

OK here is the real answer:
These radios are things people have bought themselves, a few hundred dollars of investment initially, then add, buying and putting up antennas, sorting out noise issues even changing what we do around the house to help the radio perform well. Then we share them for people who are interested, want to listen to radio in another location, or who themselves cannot set up such a radio, we don’t get anything back for that other than thinking that perhaps someone has benefited a little.

If the location is good, and the radio set up well then the limited number of slots is soon used up, it’s not like a streaming radio where numbers are almost unlimited it’s just a few users at any one time and each one takes up a chunk of our internet bandwidth. The way to allow everyone to get a little for testing is to limit connection time, 30 minutes is pretty extreme but you must be looking at a very popular Kiwi (mine is set at eight hours).

If you come to KiwiSDR with the wrong assumptions it does seem strange, if you realise these are real people trying to help each other for “good will” alone it may make sense, these are not streaming radio services. You may be able to find a less popular Kiwi that also picks up what you are looking to record they may have no time limit or a much longer one than 30 minutes.

Thanks for the IP.

Audacity can also be set to record over a set threshold.

Preferences - Sound Activated Recording.

I wonder if it possible to flush any residual flux out from under the BGA afterwards?

Just for info jks (ZL) is about 11hr's ahead of us so response is more likely in his normal daylight hours. (nearly midnight there right now). Also wroth checking this forum early in the morning UK time.

Thanks for the i2cdetect output, looks similar to what I saw when mine was on last evening.

At a guess I'd say 4084, as the first and last look the same the range to try is limited ;-)

2082, 5085 etc.

From the original PCB image the serial seems to be same way up as the silk screen.

FYI. There are micro SD card extenders, that would be a quick way to avoid opening the case.

I know, not a clever answer ;-)

I seem to remember hitting this and just copied the Kiwi directories off using SCP or even WinSCP.

At one stage I did wonder if there was some way to direct the backup to a sshfs (fuse) mount instead, that way I could have a single Linux box (or NAS) with a bunch of backups.

I know that is not a particularly clever answer but I often want to "make a backup now, learn the proper fix later"

OK that is strange. You could try "tracert kiwisdr.com"

I tend to remove the first few lines if ever I share tracert results, we just want to see if it gets outside your network and ISP. - those are normally from about line 3 or 4 onward.
