Just one other thing that occurs to me and has been discussed on here before, what other kit is used on the solar battery voltage and does any of it already have voltage monitoring? If you have a router or wireless bridge it might be possible to swa…

I have some FrSky Smart Port voltage and current sensors, they output 3.3V serial data (inverted). https://code.google.com/archive/p/telemetry-convert/wikis/FrSkySPortProtocol.wiki The only thing stopping me using them is the dense bit of wet carbon…

Satlynx and Ireland are new to me, thanks for that. DNS disruption would be a simple way to drop large swathes of people off the social networks and messaging platforms, it makes sense for that to be a real possibility in the event of some conflict.…

Thanks Jim, I found a Wikipedia page of distress frequencies as well so got a few now. We have become so used to the internet and mobiles going back to printed frequency lists for a few days would trip a few up. Like keeping some bottle drinking wat…

Have you tried restarting your router? What geographical area is this from? If you do an "nslookup" query what IP does it return? Stu

The bit where it shows 15/16 channels in use was the best ;-)

Mark, On local networks there is also the /users page. Probably not of use for this but worth knowing it is there. I'm not sure if there is a way to add a trusted remote IP address to the "Local Network" category for that access. Might be …

OK so about the coax, antenna and items close by? We need to know what to discount as "recently tested good" (ideally on another system). GPS is not a massively strong signal if something is wiping it out you would see what you do now, hav…
-
How long is the coax, Is it a single piece, is there around 3V on the GPS SMA centre pin? Is anything else close to the coax/antenna? (mobile or dect phone, motors etc) Is it the same after a Beagebone reboot?

Ben, responding to comments on other thread re VirtualBox and Fldigi (etc.) If you are looking to talk via ports, host and virtual machine I'd avoid the extra complication of NAT. Try setting the interface to bridged and then fix an IP for the Linux…

Hi Ben, I might have a go if I enable WSL on a physical laptop as my Win10 box is a VM without access to microphone, camera, wireless, bluetooth, or sound card (not having those was part of the reason for running as a VM). I see it is possible to p…

Don't forget "Windows Subsytem for Linux" under Windows 10. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual) Install (for example) Unbuntu 20.04 Once installed start the Ubuntu 20.04 app and - sudo apt install git python3-nu…

OK thanks, I'm a bit surprised for a big name it is that visible at ~ 60W but perhaps something like the radiator-shell acts as a decent antenna. At least it would be a good candidate for a mains filter.
-
OK I misunderstood the graph, thought the red was one signal (frequency) and the green another, i must stop posting quickly while at work. Thanks for sharing that. Oh and just for info what is the power consumption of the Samsung freezer?
-
Might be nice to compare the red line with indoor/outdoor temperature in case it is something like underfloor heating distributing existing mains borne noise. Maybe even thermal noise I suppose (though it didn't sound smooth enough) It seems to be d…

Gaming PC is my local shorthand for anything that burns a good few Watts from a switchmode. From a quick listen it seemed to have a similar signature across the band so I tend to think you have a good shot at finding and taming a single source. I ha…
-
I'm not sure what antenna it is on at the moment but that noise is very similar to what I see here from a high end gaming PC on with glass sided case. Good info in previous comments so lots to work with. I agree on the "switchmode" and I'…

It's great information and I can think of few posts on the forum that weren't already well covered by the documentation. Support better than anything I've purchased for ages, genuinely. Below is why I posted. There is an FAQ at work for customers, i…

The "Quickstart" if printed (A4) is about 37 pages now. How about an FAQ (forum) post with the most frequently asked questions that could have a short answer but then also point to the relevant QS sections or helpful forum posts. some FAQ …

I believe 5.5mm OD 2.1mm ID 2.5mm ID is fairly common and will cause issues. I keep a few adapters from universal power supplies to check and/or adapt. Regards Stu

I have dabbled with vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/. Stu

If you can afford another one I'd definitely go that route. I gave up sharing my CB vertical because I have only a limited number of users in the day and when I had the CB up (on a different port) they would seemingly select whatever Kiwi was last l…
-
As Jim says you can't reliably just add two antennas with a splitter covering the same frequencies. The reason I said use a satellite splitter in there to to specifically avoid feeding the lower end of the HF spectrum from the vertical (including th…
-
OK to start off the discone at lower than it's designed frequency is probably not working in a particularly well controlled mode, I.E. it might not work that same on the Kiwi. It is probably acting as a vertical using the feed so will be hard to tam…

Would not an OV per minute with logging or max hold be better than relying on the the visual indicator?
-
I still think the mid-plate build is a good route for the AI. (if not in the original case) http://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/482/BLEYETKMYBL9.png Yellow for Kiwi+AI, Green for AI. Purple just to hold the lower 6x40x50mm plate on (holes all wrong for…

Admin / Config page. "S-meter OV if ≥ 1024 ADC OV per 64k samples" Could that not be used?
-
Always good to hear it worked in the end! That Beagelbone voltage dip thing has caught a lot of people but the general power management and control has probably saved more hardware and installs than we will ever know. I can still vividly remember th…

I see Synology may have an add on for that. https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/packages/LogCenter My /etc/rsyslog.conf edits are similar to those found in https://www.debuntu.org/how-to-remote-syslog-logging-on-debian-and-ubuntu/

I shudder to see some of the things sold now. I forcibly get to test a new one very week or two as a close neighbour buys a budget item, kids break it then buy another, worse. The other side gets a new bit of computer kit to review on the same sched…
