They were definitely different SDR's, I even checked users in case I was tying it up when busy, there was myself and one Italian IP on the first, only me on the second. In the screen shot above it is possible to tell one is showing more electrical …

Insomnia made me do it. (Image) Just a random marginal station on 40m, both of them. I should be clever and work out how to properly use the recorder script to synchronise the recording but it's late and I was just playing. I'll email you the two …

I just got the demand for VAT and import duties! Yeah! It is still a decent saving but Martin Lynch & sons are doing it £260 with the metal case currently, so UK users with short attention spans and healthy bank balance, should probably go ther…

Cheers for that Martin, here I have a single overwhelming source of interference so I'm sort of down the parallel route "for the nulls". I just switched from the larger loops to this one to test and the noise is higher as the larger loops …
-
To save starting a new thread this is my current, if somewhat ugly method for connecting loops to a LZ1AQ amp. I started out with intention to use a clear top junction box (Image) but while considering dissimilar metal corrosion I remembered I'd a…

Seems a strange time, once a day. Makes me think ventilation fan, or dairy type use -steam, pasturisation etc. Underground water storage (topped up same part of the day) I suppose you could try to find out the electricity low rate times in your area…

Martin, on the project, one idea (admittedly off-the-wall) came to me, flight controllers for small drones often have logging of GPS location and other parameters (like current derived from a shunt). Stick a stand alone flight controller in a small …

See the other thread about needing credit card billing details even for "free use" well within the allowed connections. I can see why that jars and other options are being considered.

Windows "Angry IP Scanner" (angryip.org/download/#windows the 32bit non-install one) Scan your network then from command prompt windows run "arp -a" and look for an entry starting 98-5d-ad (I assume most will be Texas?) Or if …

Would the IP address not be set back to default - that may affect traffic. Scrub that just checking quickstart its DHCP, can't remember why I fixed mine, might have been to narrow down connectivity issues back in the day.
-
Ha! I hear you, hit them where it hurts. I didn't allow location on my work Android till I needed it for maps/traffic (visiting family) since then even though I turn it off it will turn back on and battery life is much worse. I use a wifi analyzer …
-
In that situation I'd personally fire up a Linux box (just because they are quicker to change network settings), use a cross over cable to the Kiwi and packet sniff it with Wireshark. You are looking to see what traffic if anything comes out of the …
-
OK, It says that one has remote sense so you could run some extra sense wires to the Kiwi DC plug so that it can compensate for any voltage loss in the leads (up to 250mv). Right now I'd just power the Kiwi down and move the Kiwi to BB pin header co…
-
I should have a second soon so could open a x86 VM to you if you have a fixed IP address. The Kiwi is currently connecting over a wireless bridge (two Microtik devices) so I suppose there is some possibility there could be a momentary glitch as my n…
-
So is that a lab grade "variable current limited" PSU? (what actual model). Have you checked the DC at boot up on a scope in case it is momentarily limiting? I'm only talking from experience, it might be that I am seeing a similar issue t…
-
Power supplies do age, you are running two devices that require at least half of the supply, my guess is that 1. the Supply is no longer able to provide the current required, 2. that the devices (either) are asking for more current than they used t…
-
I have found mine may not bring the network up if the 5V does not come up quick enough (original switcher), do you have anything loading the supply? on the USB port? is the DC lead long enough to allow it to sag?
-
I have noticed my WSPR running the old script (yes I'm too lazy to update it right now) is seeing different connection times, seems something is kicking the individual recorder sessions? When it happened before (to best recollection) it would have b…
-
Something I see as a potential market - more modular radio kit. For example RX front end with optical standard IP network connection back to the rig, or for QRP systems complete "QRP rig in a can" (mast mounted), with optical interface bac…

Thanks for your visit but I have had the issue addressed by higher powers. Storming service levels.
-
How about an active solution like http://www.crosscountrywireless.net/multicoupler.htm Also adds some level of surge and over power protection. I realise they aren't cheap but at least it should allow you to keep your existing recording setup withou…
-
Couldn't see that noise specifically but just had to say what luck on the storm, the radio gods must like you.
-
Thanks for that, the VDSL did seem a good candidate due to the cycle but I could not find the thread just before giving up and going to bed. That spectrum ties up nicely. A neighbour reviews stuff on YouTube so I will have to look at his channel see…
-
That is interesting on LT, can see how that would make them the preferred source for designers who have been bitten before or who are thinking about the future support. I think our problem processor was/is Ubicom, not sure what FPGA's are used in v…
-
I know work had issues with specialised controllers and have had to buy up stocks of them as they were due to go out of production in the supported lifetime of the product. It was easier (although not cheap) to buy a shed load than rewrite, test and…
-
Put like that it makes sense, back up the orders till they have a enough to order a large quantity of common SMD components, as the things have been run before I expect the setup is fairly automated with fiducial markers so they could part populate …
-
Ah thanks, didn't think to look at the Seeed site (should have been obvious really). I did wonder if they made the delivery long to encourage people to give in buy at full price.
-
Same here, ordered just one but find the communication pretty poor. Probably due to time zones I got the email after the 19th so it read "something may happen in the past" Oh really..It may be delayed, yesterday. Jokes apart I had to dig t…
-
Another great option thanks. I found that it almost invites a different use of the radio when listening to Morse as the signal become visible before the audio so it is easier to find and settle on a signal (with arrow keys) than blind the audio over…

Oh the good old arc welder, where would we be without them. My use of old push bike wheels for the loops was just a hunch after trying various aluminum lying about and trying to get an idea of the best trade off sensitivity to noise, I must compare …
