I have enjoyed plenty of unexpected reboots of my KiwiSDR 1. Sometimes it happens after somebody/something with the same IP address does something. It's been a while since this has happened (latter part of 2023), but after fetching the log today I s…

Not helping matters any is my obviously still not sufficient knowledge of all this Linux stuff. So, with ea17323 & pytest installed (so simple; me stupid... <repeat first paragraph here>), things got off to a spectacular start. And after …

https://active-antenna.eu/amplifier-kit/ https://active-antenna.eu/antennas/ https://active-antenna.eu/amplifier-kit/testemonials/ Although less-than-optimal, about 9 metres of 2.5 mm^2 mains wire is all I use. Or two 9 metre pieces - makes a fanta…

Another morning & all local kiwiclient users, per Sod's Law, were hobbled by the lip sync issue shortly after I had gone to sleep. Right - if there was some question whether or not my Kiwi would take an update after whatever it took to get it up…
-
I see a definite difference in the frequency of occurence of the lip sync problem since going from 1.620 to 1.649 Despite using what's apparently the dogs' bollocks of resamplers, it's back to maybe-2-hours-if-you're-lucky. It had been maybe-2-days…
-
1.649 seems to have made what I'm now calling the lip sync problem worse - can't go for more than ~2 hours before the audio as-presented differs from real-time+KiwiSDR-latency. And that's after supposedly eliminating resampling in Python as an issue…

Thanks for the recovery, ZL4VO. Lesson learned: don't push buttons, just do what worked last time & maybe this won't happen again. This reminds me of a past life developing application-specific SDRs for a former employer & how scared they …

Opportunity to hoover out some computers & create a new bootable hard disk for one of them, so down time put to good use... 73, VR2BG.

R 73, VR2BG.

Nope, not aware of anything more than the occasional thing that gets the national insecurity coproaches' knickers into a twist, which if demands to remove go unheeded they have to get all ISPs to protect us from. I just see more & more websites …

Done. Tnx. 73, VR2BG.

Okay, have tried several times. Cloning into 'Beagle_SDR_GPS'... remote: Enumerating objects: 37534, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (37534/37534), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (9695/9695), done. error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP c…

Am afraid I pushed the wrong button. Instead of "build now", I hit "check now" first & it eventually came back with "Git clone damaged!" It was on 1.620 & I believe I didn't do anything wrong from admin console…

Fortunately, I forgot what it was that I had typed. It seems that when composing something here, having two large graphic images in it eventually makes my browser think it's suddenly developed life-threatening constipation & needs something done…

That wasn't what I posted. -VR2BG.

The other morning I see this: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/321/LDE2F8W05OFZ.png And I wonder why is VR2KW so weak - and operating FT8 somewhere just south of 7049 kc? Meanwhile, over on the other machine chewing on 7074 kc: https://forum.kiwisd…

A coupla nights ago I saw the opposite: a VR that's line-of-sight to me worked one of the current DXpeditions on 1.8 Mc. Then a coupla minutes later QSYed a few hundred cycles & worked the DX again with the callsign of an EU country-of-origin m…

Correction: page 101 of https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/1042840187330/1 IMHO, the Bravos in the past nearly 20 years have become the worst of the lot with respect to electromagnetic weapons of mass destruction (aka OTHR)... though in putting toget…

WA2ZKD: The latency is the Kiwi's latency, not what the network might add on to it, nor that of the computer running the decoder (though they all do contribute - but not in the case where decoding is done by the Kiwi). I just pinged my Kiwi from the…
-
Although it would require assuming that the decoder is correct, I would imagine the easiest way to judge DTs would be to compare against the same signal as received on a conventional receiver, as decoded by WSJT-X/JTDX. Looking at the output of that…
-
I believe we are talking about the same thing here. This stuff requires accurate time synchronisation of both the RX & TX sides (see last para https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.6.1.html#PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW ). But unlike conventi…
-
Well, ask about one thing that seemed like an easy one & end up finding out what probably explains the problems with JT-mode DTs I'm having with kiwiclientd - cheers for that, WA2ZKD! Pardon me asking: what was the actual rate when the Kiwi's pr…
-
WA2ZKD: What I've observed on 40m from roughly local mid-day shortly after spring equinox from a nearby station (~100 km distant) CQing to himself that from past observation seems to have a fairly stable clock - is that after ~4 hours, DT increases …
-
Clocks need to be sync'd with JT-modes - both on RX as well as the TX-side - otherwise decoding can be degraded. SDRs - with their inherent latency - require something to be done to address this. The DTs VK1TTY reported are roughly grouped around …
-
Of all the problems I've been having since switching over to kiwiclientd, this one might have nothing to do with kiwiclientd & I was hoping that somebody might have an idea. The last I heard from Rik was a bit over 3 months ago, so stopped repor…

All this reminds me of what a colleague taught me ~40 years ago - and I have yet to see it disproved, repealed, need for revision, etc: The First Rule of Software - It isn't bug-free until you stop using it. The Second Rule of Software - Refer to Th…

Mate, I must've done something wrong here. I ssh'd in to the Kiwi, made a copy of kiwi.json. Opened another tab on RPi Chromium (it's presenting 10m FT4 to JTDX next-release-on-test) & selected admin bookmark, ready for entry of password. Also…
-
I have a Rpi, but have never used it for KiwiSDR admin. I've figured out where kiwi.json is. Presumably if I make a copy of the file before trying this, I can delete the corrupted kiwi.json file & replace it with the copy I made, right? I'll ha…

I believe these are what I've added to my block list recently: 118.143.0.0/16 138.19.0.0/16 173.255.0.0/16 95.179.0.0/16 193.38.0.0/16 47.240.0.0/16 47.74.0.0/16 110.87.0.0/16 149.129.0.0/16 38.143.0.0/16 185.237.0.0/16 117.30.0.0/16 162.211.0.0/16…
