I've a few ideas but not for posting on a public forum.
-
First off close the browser and reopen it between checks. Especially as there will have been a large update for the new Kiwi. I've spent a while on stale browser data. No RP-SMA leads or adapters in there by mistake? (obviously the second antenna t…
-
OK didn't separate NTi from Bonito, I get it now. While looking at NTi items sold by Bonito I searched Google "Bonito MegaLoop ML200", one link (ebay.com) was to one of these Chinese MLA things, definitely trying to sell off the NTi device…
-
I found myself looking at the Megaloop some time back but the price was like three of my current loops plus a phasing box with all the hardware, seemed a bit steep. As there is only one mode on my current loop that masks my local noise i'm very relu…
-
Like all problems some good might come of it if sdr.hu radios get a healthcheck. You're probably both right about public shaming being too much, I guess I've spent a year or two trying to reduce bad traffic to couple of small business web-facing s…
-
I figured that was the "sounds-like, piggy back on search results" product but expect it is a simple beast inside. I fancy having a look, even if only to put it somewhere it might get stolen, cheaper than many active antennas (loops). I've…
-
Once they get a response they do hit it every minute or so, just seems like too much bother to leave that open for no obvious benefit, if they said "we are doing this RF survey for some good cause and will clean up the script" then I figur…
-
I wonder if it worth putting the IP address blocked in some descriptive line on SDR.hu, might get them to up their game while at the same time alert others to the log-filling-folly (polite version).
-
I guess it is probably just about loading but if your BeagleBone is not maxed out there shouldn't be an issue (IMHO). My "Drop at the router" sees them test access every 78 minutes so not exactly heavy traffic. Stu
-
On the later edit ones - The MLA-30 may be OK but I don't know what circuitry that is a copy of (harsh but probably true) the "Megaloop"name suggest an expensive antenna clone but I doubt it. I did think of trying one myself to see how it…
-
Did wonder, that was the reason for my question on logs. To be fair I've seen the admin page show old data for a bit longer than the junk traffic. My machine is behind a local proxy so I had assumed stale pages might be related to that. I certainly …
-
The &no_wf should work where SDR's are set up for it. E.G where the sdr is http://stucapon.plus.com:8073 The no waterfall version (with last frequency or default) is http://stucapon.plus.com:8073/?&no_wf (note add the /? right before any in…

On the Alibaba links - When I say "No" I mean you may pick up some signals but very few. 1. No (mainly higher end of HF, not much use) 2. No (mainly for HF single band use, low efficiency) 3. Yes that work but will be HUGE so no good for…
-
That sounds right. The unlisted Kiwi saw no traffic, the currently-public one sees attempts every hour despite the IP being dropped at the router. Personally I'd just drop it at the router unless you want to help the user who may be well intentioned…
-
Now that is after sales service.
-
Do the logs look clean? I've noticed some slightly strange network traffic that does not show up as a connection but is ongoing (will have to check sdr.hu) I don't get many incomming users so would not notice if it was showing all channels used. wh…
-
I don't understand the first bit "my own IP" does that mean the first entry shows your network gateway? What version are you currently running and has it updated OK before?
-
I assume DNS is working OK? If you SSH to the Kiwi and "traceroute public.kiwisdr.com" does it correctly get an IP address and then show the route to it? Stu
-
I had the same, pretty sure I've mentioned it before on here (only seen from IP addresses in China) and was told it was not an issue. I might start geo blocking on my router as would prefer not to see all that unknown traffic. W/F BAD PARAMS: sl=18…

sdr.hu shows you as current (1.309), it almost works so refresh the admin browser page (F5) and try to restart the server (or complete Beaglebone) from the control tab. If that does not work try SSH into the Kiwi and "ku" from there (see r…
-
It doesn't matter who's SDR it is, all you are doing is using an internal audio cable to forward the browser sound to the software (any of those). You could do it physically by having a sound output fed back into a sound input, the virtual method i…
-
Refresh the admin connection, don't leave it running on a page that refreshes (DX safest if you are going to leave it open) refresh once a day at least. Stu
-
Martin, gear icon top right of your post(s), "Option", "Edit", you get 24hrs to correct the post. You always post good info so it's worth correcting the first one. Look at the "edited" time on this post. it should be …
-
I had a habit of trying to access the Kiwi before it had completed a software update, doesn't help, slows things down. Consider setting the Kiwi syslog to send messages to an external syslog server, I do that by default and it reduces the temptation…
-
"self-host our own maps" How about a common hosted solution that is only available to, and funded by, the SDR industry and community? Doesn't have to be as detailed as a lot of the map solutions as long as one can use a few shortcuts to j…
-
I noticed the solution per minute were not on the GPS page so earlier I got the average per minute for the run time. worked out to roughly 21, 24, 13, 20. Did look like bad data was getting through, quite possible as there is little fault informatio…

I think I've seen it before but figured it was a good first step. The RSSI figures are not great, on my kit antenna they are all above 500 and 6 of the 8 "good" ones over 1100.
-
Refresh the admin page (F5) just to make sure nothing on the page is locked up? I found the map freezes on mine if I leave the admin page open too long while there are good few channels in use.
-
Mine are in the sensible range now, not sure if enough GPS came into view, signals just got better, current software ran for long enough, for whatever reason mine seem OK at the moment. If you have had the admin page open for a while refresh it, che…
