On a slightly related note I left two SSTV extensions going here on two Kiwi's with similar antennas, different feeds, PSU etc. while trying to get that last bit of S/N in this "Mainly N" location. The resulting images were good for compar…

That is probably a real signal at the antenna. Could be ADSL/VDSL from phones lines. I looks very smooth though, so either constant traffic or something else. If you have access to a magnetic loop antenna the null can help direction find the source,…

I stuck a whip up becasue I thought the Mag Loop noise level was a little better than I remembered, turns out the loop is still covering an horendous level of switchmode noise that I just can't handle with the whips. I tried double copper shielded c…

Was typing, not reading, sorry. Actually the posts don't always show for me unless I do a couple of refreshes.

So the ISP makes money from static IP... They might block access to incomming ports too unless you go for the static IP. Assuming you have opened the port 8073 on the router, and directed it to the right internal IP, then see if the ISP provides ac…

To be honest after posting about the hAP I though it would be worth trying it myself for a bit, I tried to connect the hAP as bridge to an my main Mikrotik then to an Asus small router/AP, was not good with the Asus. I've had 100% success before wit…

Not 100% sure if it worked before but under RDP (set to "play on this computer") it shows the FF watchdog indicator a couple of times but does not run. I only spotted it as clicked to run the local Kiwi under the wrong desktop and spotted …

The easiest way in my experience is to use something like a Mikrotik hAP Lite, they are 5V micro-usb powered and very low power (I ran it through the USB port on the green for a while). That will do wireless, a few (100M) wired ports, DHCP and just …

With the new spectrum options I spent a fair amount of last evening trying to screen dump a fleeting burst from mains networking, failed over forty times to hit it. Today with peak capture enabled, so I didn't need to be frame accurate, I hit it thi…
-
I'd like an "Opt" button (or drop down) where I can apply a user-defined Option keystring in one hit. Not as exact as a green shortcut with everything but a quick way to alter the interface, bandwidth etc. to a prefered mode/layout (or fiv…
-
I was looking at a decaying strong signal and counting seconds for it to fall between two 10db lines when GND used. Just tried it again, can see a difference in the running spectrum activity fine but that mode is (as previously described) the least …

MS increasingly favours IPv6 and replacing methods to get to devices (E.G. printers*) I do wonder if there has been some preference added for streaming over IPv6 which is not surviving the tunnel/conversion. The reason I'm thinking this way is that,…

Took me a moment to workout I should switch away from IIR before playing with the SP Parm slider to see large affects, once I did that loads to play with. Very useful for "test equipment" side of Kiwi use.
-
I find it interesting how there are clusters on some landmasses, France, Switzerland, Germany for example. Unless large areas are badly served for bandwidth it must relate to something else, technical professions maybe. Around here there is quite a …

That makes sense. Mnnn could add another cape to my spare BBG(s), will have to see if mouser UK shows stock after the "11 on order".
-
I tried it under wine, was having issues seeing mono, admitedly I only tried over lunch but couldn't see what was failing. Had to do "winetricks vcrun2013" to get the right C++ version and installed wine complete etc. I thought I'd get i…
-
I see mouser (co.uk) have listed the KiwiSDR as "end of life", that may be due to the ADC availability mix up?
-
So the tab is not muted, and the software is not muted. How are you getting to the radio by IP address, or name? (is Firefox autocompleting the address?) What OS? There are reports of Bonjour on Win10 chopping the audio, accessing by IP address shou…
-
Silly question, I assume the antennas are connected to the right ports GPS mainly and GPS is enabled? On the Firefox issues are you running any sandbox add-on's? On one version I had to change "security.sandbox.content.level" to a lower l…

Cat Sync? https://catsyncsdr.wordpress.com/ Stick a password on your Kiwi or change the port to something like 37008 and i'd be surprised if you'll have any issues. Plus you don't need to register it on sdr.hu as long as you can find the IP address…

The VM in question is more likely the issue, it had WSJTX 1.9 something so that was installed and I guess it would need confirmation to overwrite the old one? It did identify the installed version report that I should run with the correct setting fo…

I'm beginning to believe.

Yup. Click rounding would also help, HDSDR has step selection now and even though it has always been one of my favourite SDR programs for just "install and use" that makes point and tune so efficient. I spend much of my time on Kiwi going …

Virtual PC with Ubuntu too (64 bit). Had to upgrade (install) wsjtx on the VM wget https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx_2.0.1_amd64.deb --no-check-certificate sudo dpkg -i wsjtx_2.0.1_amd64.deb Also get the kiwiclient (after installing…

A few months back I saw mention of these on here, already had some for powering other devices but none in use with a Kiwi. I had assumed from their simple PCB and cost they would be bad. I normally run with one of these (hot glue on the adjustment) …

My neighbours have something that comes on for a short time, I did wonder if it was a bathroom fan but it is only on for a set number of seconds so seems unlikely, then i wondered - macerator? You are right beside a soil stack, don't stand under the…

1. Move the router further away from the Kiwi 2. Put clip on ferrite on leads 3. Get a different router
-
Will be interesting to see if any schedule changes with the clocks going forward. The change of signal seemed like streaming or something being "topped up" as the breaks got smaller almost like duty phase but I can't think what would do th…
-
If you can find what neighbour it is with the VDSL, and they are willing to help, ask them how long the router to wall lead has to be, then make one that long with ferrite at the router end (or both ends), E.G. if they need 1.1m take a 2m lead and w…

Just on the GPS ingress, use on of those car GPS repeaters. Very short (or highly filtered) GPS lead on the Kiwi with the extender TX in a box, very hard to unduce LF/MF through that (side observation from other test). I did find that here the GPS …
