Fantastic :-) That will be very helpful. Regards, Martin

Hi John, I'm looking forward to this. Would it be possible to include a 'copy' or 'clone' editing function too. Where it's possible to copy an existing entry as a starting point and then just change specific parameters, such as frequency in order to…

Hi John, This is good news, and hopefully relatively easy to implement. If you do get it to work, could you please at some stage also consider adding a second plot line to the S-Meter extension to graph the SNR in addition to the signal level ? This…

I've set my power supplies to provide 5.4V at the DC in socket, which provides 5v at the BBG. I think using a 6V supply with a silicon diode in series, as previously suggested, should be fine.

"Is there any other SDR that actually does this?" By default SDR# only has and SNR indication, although there is a signal strength meter add-on. Personally I like the option of both, as a strength indication is useful when testing transmit…

Hi John, I didn't implement the /users polling, so I don't know how it is being used. I'll try and find out from the site admin and report back. Thanks for looking at this. Regards, Martin

Not sure if this is a related issue. Today I tried to edit a DX tag on my remote KiWi and got a red splash screen message that I hadn't seen before, stating "Must close all admin connections before attempting this operation." This turned o…

Hi Fabrys, "talking to me about "dx.json", but the answer is always the same, how do I get to that file?" I use a Windows application to maintain the configuration files, as I'm not that good with Linux. WinSCP is an easy to use …
-
It may be that somehow you have corrupted the dx.json file. I try to save mine on a monthly basis, so that I've always got a fairly recent backup if something goes wrong. I'm not up to 10,000 lines yet (currently 7,700 heard and logged) but I've bee…

Hi Marco, That works great :-) Thanks for the additional information. Regards, Martin
-
Great additions Marco. I'm using the Windows version, and the resolution on the waterfall and spectrum scope is excellent. I just wish it was possible to display it as a full screen, as my old eyes are struggling, even when wearing my strongest spe…

Hi Stu, Yes understood. My comments were directed at creating a separate user guide, rather than replacing the existing quick start and this Kiwi support forum, which is more likely to be used by KiWi owners and admins, rather than casual users. The…
-
In the past, when the display defaulted to show all other users, I have used the name callsign feature to 'instant message' some of the other KiWi users. However now that the users are shown in a separate panel, this doesn't work as well as it once …
-
Hi Marco, OK it's working now. I didn't realise that I had to enter my own callsign in the DX Cluster box, before it would log in and retrieve the spots. I think I must have accidentally entered some other characters, when I previously got it to wor…
-
Hi Marco, I'm a bit confused about the DX cluster function. The EiBi tags appear as expected, but when I select DX cluster, I get a callsign entry box and no tags on the waterfall. Sometimes the DX cluster indication appears at the bottom of the GUI…
-
Yes understood. I don't know if my eyes are up to it :-( The GUI is a bit on the small side for me, I've put on my strong reading spectacles, but I'm still struggling. Printing out the help file has made it a bit easier to navigate. Thanks for your…
-
Hi Marco, OK I got it running :-) I had to run the .exe in place of the .py in the cmd window after selecting the correct directory and add the KiWi IP address and port number, as in the examples you provided. I guess I now need to remember how to w…
-
Hi Marco, I'm trying it on my private KiWi on a local network so it's got free slots. If I wish to run it from the command line, do I try that in Python, Windows CMD, Powershell or something else ? Sorry I'm software illiterate :-( Regards, Martin
-
Hi Marco, Yes I'm using that version. This is a screen grab I managed to obtain just before it closed. http://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/729/RZV590IUZLCC.png Regards, Martin
-
Hi Stu, When runing it from the exe file, it gets as far as the 'connecting' screen and then just closes. I'm fairly sure I have all the prerequisites in place. Should I be running it directly under python instead ? It doesn't seem to like that at a…
-
Hi Marco, I'm trying to use the Windows version but it defaults to the inital IP address of 192.168.1.82, then can't find the KiWi and closes. How do I change the default address ? I've edited the associated README.md but that didn't work. Regards,…

There is also a difference between de-emphasis values of 50 and 75uS values which are used for broadcast services, and are frequently misquoted on the web in relation to NBFM systems. NBFM (e.g. amateur radio and CB on the HF bands and also commerc…

>I installed WM BCB filter from RTL-SDR. Things are much better Yes it's a lot better, but there is still an underlying problem with broadband noise and interference, which is not related to the broadcast signals, but which is raising the noise f…
-
Try this notch filter, it should provide at least 10 dB attenuation at 1320 & 1490KHz and 20dB attenuation at 1400KHz. 3dB attenuation frequencies are at 1000 & 1900KHz. http://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/910/2TDQRH8WZMVL.png The inductor can…
-
It looks like overload due to strong AM broadcast stations, as the ADC overload OV indicator is flashing almost continuously. The first step is to put an attenuator on the KiWi input and try to determine which signals are causing the overload. Then …

Several years ago when operating a remote WSPR session, I had great success using a Windows scrpiting tool called Autoit https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ This could be used to interface external commands to drive software that only had a …

If you already have a radio with a tuning knob that can use CAT commands, then you can set it up to link the radio to a KiWi using CATSync, so that the KiWi tracks the radio tuning and the KiWi GUI can also be used to tune the radio. https://catsyn…
-
Maybe if tuning by mouse wheel could be implemented when the cursor is placed over the frequency scale, as opposed to zooming in and out when placed over the waterfall or spectrum display. Or some other method used to switch between zoom or tune (ca…

OK thanks. I thought it would be a running count, and I guess it may reset to zero when the KiWi reboots. I'll figure out how to deal with that as required. Regards, Martin
