I assume your wireless access point/router does not have extra filtering for wireless clients? For example does it separate the wireless clients from each other, or wireless from LAN clients?

@HB9TMC Ok got it, I didn't spot that in the short time I was looking, that is what I see here from Sky Q junk. On talking to Fabrys I'm coming to the conclusion his 5V may not be a linear, it was supplied with encapsulated ferrites in the DC lead.…

In that case do what Stefan already suggested and use the null of the loop to narrow it down. The sensitivity can be visualised as a doughnut (donut) arrange the antenna so that when looking at those masts, you are looking through the hole. In reali…

To me it looks like pickup at the antenna or feedline. When I use switchers for the Kiwi (or close to it's supply) there is normally visible noise at the switcher base frequency. When I visited your SDR (yesterday) it looked to be all high up with …

One for Rob (no follow up needed), Checking my Grafana plots, 40m together with 60m were virtually a straight line, all the others looked normal. Long story short I had a -1000dBm/1Hz recorded at the same time on those two bands so the "Auto&q…

I did just run it (old version) for a couple of days, will update it and try again soon. It took from about midday to 7PM local for it to hit 100 countries, 144 in 24hrs from about 36k FT8 spots. My Wsprdaemon config does currently merge results fro…

If you read the wsprdaemon thread you might find that I have been (clumsily) running it for a good while. I totally agree with it's superb features but some things it misses. I have some intermittent drifting switcher type noises that I want to tra…

OK when the other enclosure arrives and assuming I don't get another week like last* I'll give it a go. Once a small amount of air is moving over the case the temperature drops so (to my mind) the thermal path is sufficient in 2mm Ali, I just need …
-
Unless extensions are used the sheet thickness is limited by the gap of around 2.0mm - Actually 2.5 minus insulator and components, the caps on the bottom of the Kiwi are about 0.3mm high. I wanted to keep the standard gap so endplates could be reus…
-
Just another method of keeping the AI tamed. I built a 2mm Ali plate to go between the Kiwi and the AI, 6mm (40x50mm) slab of Ali screwed to the bottom. I got this extruded case during the lockdown while wating for a real one, it's too long and tal…

Use a relay to terminate the SDR input. Assume the antennas are too close for safe use of a 100W transmitter at unknown frequency and act accordingly. The reception will be wiped out anyway so just drop it, if you want something off the shelf there …

I wonder if a hostname lookup could be used instead? E.G. Allow local IPv4 subnet + "pc1.something.local", "single.trusted.remote" as long as your PC is what that FQDN points to it assumes local. I distrust IPv6 as it seems so …

Hi Tom, Quite interesting idea to have a "follow" feature, would probably need the users permission (or a pop up "user x wants to follow") or it gets a bit creepy. Yeah, "stalker mode enabled...". I've seen people on m…

Took a bit of fiddling on a fresh Debian but that's just me. Once working I checked the PSK reporter map and normally for my call that is just showing 6m spots (my DD5JKF OpenWebRX RTL dongle defaults to that when not in use). The map looked wrong, …

My case ordered early February is due Friday. Could do with ordering another one but don't want to tempt fate.

Bit of a zombie thread but this came to mind while poking around today. https://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents Not least - "IMPORTANT: On Rev C BeagleBone Greens from Seed Studio, you need to create a folder titled "…

To me as the built in GPS works for the intended purpose I wonder if there is some way to use an external GPS stream rather than pushing the limited processing power?. I've a couple FrSky GPS modules which are using their own S-BUS comms but there a…
-
Well here I can't easily try that frequency as two stations are currently overlapping. Things I'd check: 1. Try it on another SDR elsewhere, same frequency. 2. Monitor the tone with a phone app like Spectroid see if it changes with the tuning (same …
-
What mode? there are more modes available now so you may not be in the simple AM mode (assuming it is AM we are talking about). Try cycling the mode button. Stu

I have the full range of noise sources here so get a bit of a feel for it, I find the wspr noise plots pretty good indicators as they are spot measures at 14 places but also when reception plotted from WA2ZKD's site can show unusual spot rise curves…
-
I've grounded the SMA on any cased Kiwi of mine for ages but I'll be playing with this. Swapped it over from the Beagelbone AI last night in a way that should not disrupt the Wsprdaemon graphs, my intention was to compare as an "obvious jump or…
-
@mdfrc99 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, b…

OK thanks for testing that. Without dragging this out too much more (as JKS says it is not Kiwi specific) it is probably to do with the web browser and how it gets the network address for the local Kiwi (DNS, or mDNS) and then data, it would happen…
-
Fabrys, This is something you could test if you want to keep using the "local" address rather than IP. (Image)
-
Hi Rob, It was running G I've just git pull'ed the other one. This was about seeing if the PI had the guts to not only be the receiving node but also the decoding, or at least how far one could go and if it would break the Pi based Kiwi. Normally m…
-
It would be interesting to test both the ethernet cable and the supply to the Nano router with a few turns through ferrite. This is a remarkable difference so I assume the Kiwi is also physicaly very close to the antenna? If the setup is that sensi…
-
What OS is this on? I did wonder about IPv6 and that logs shows a mix of IPv4 and IPv6, it's quite often that an OS will prefer IPv6 and if it is not successful timeout and use v4, would give that sort of delay and often not seen by ping as that use…

Use wsprdaemon. That uses external processing like your alternative chain.

Got it, by the way could not see your comment when I posted mine. -while checking- One residual instance on the public tab "e.g. when set to 0 and 30000 sdr.hu shows "HF""

Looks like the default gets updated as part of the software update. I had edited one webpage tab and that was still pointing at the old address but others have been corrected without effort from me. Good reminder to check so thanks. I'll see where …
