That README page is slightly confusing because the picture of the air-core coil and first schematic appear adjacent to each other. The two schematics refer to the second picture which shows an "AM loopstick" style ferrite coil which could …

Good idea about adding the antenna status to the admin status tab. I'll add that. Right now I only have it on the admin extension tab, antenna switch selection. You don't have to do anything special on my account. I will let you know if otherwise. T…

Nice. Well, it's all about the field strength. Very likely you can build something useful that will not be detectable outside of your immediate location. And, you can use your Kiwi to test it -- the timecode extension!

It's not automatic. I have to do it by hand. It's published every six months at eibispace.de I see A25 is out, so I'll try and get that in the next Kiwi release.

I just replied to your email before I saw this post. So I'll include my email reply here: So it turns out the default dx.json is stored on every Kiwi in case it turns up missing during a software install. If you bring up the admin console try these …

Okay, I can do the 8-character thing. I just wanted to hear you thoughts. Let me understand the admin antenna switch page request: You want an indication of which antenna(s) are currently selected? (including if all grounded and multiple if mixing i…

What's the use case for reducing it to 8? Are people abusing the 16 character lower limit in your experience?
-
In the latest kiwiclient/kiwirecorder update the --progress option can now be used with --nc / --netcat. It will print the progress information to stderr instead of stdout so it doesn't mix with the streamed data (given that you're typically redirec…

For security reasons a number of operations can only be done from the same "local network". This means the network "IP address" of the device accessing the Kiwi must be in the same range as the Kiwi. Example: 192.168.1.xxx, where…

Well, the complexity is a result of people asking for features over the years. That's the trade-off. I try and limit it as much as I can. It's a thankless task, as some people are always unhappy..

If all channels are full you'd have to "kick" a channel via the button on the admin status page to create a free channel for you to connect. Alternatively, you can reserve one of the channels by setting a user password on the admin securit…

There have been some running https in the past. But they implemented re-proxying http content from kiwisdr.com as https so this problem would not happen. I don't recall if any of them was done on cloudflare or with a private server running nginx. Th…

What does the status column of the browser "network" tab say? (you'll need to do a page refresh after selecting "network") What Kiwi software version are you running?
-
The data for those come from these files. See if you can open them directly from your browser. If not, find out why not (e.g. look at browser console for error messages) http://tdoa.kiwisdr.com/tdoa/files/kiwi.gps.json http://tdoa.kiwisdr.com/tdoa/r…

There is never any "one size fits all" solution when it comes to filtering. If you're serious about 630 m, where you don't want any attenuation of weak signals, you should never be looking at a full MW bandstop filtering solution. You're n…

There's always KMTronic. No coax connectors though. Just Phoenix contacts.

All the currently supported switches, including Ethernet-based switches, are listed here: https://github.com/jks-prv/KiwiSDR/tree/master/pkgs/ant_switch There is not a proper pointer to that in the base documentation, so I will fix that. Thanks.

I think it was finally removed from the Android app store. But I saved a copy at: kiwisdr.com/files/gavtrok.apk (or possibly KiwiSDR2.apk -- there are two .apk files and I can't remember what they are and my notes don't have any info about them) The…

KiwiSDR 2 radios are available again in our online store: https://kiwisdr.nz Thanks for your support.

This work is nothing short of amazing. Great job. Also, thats for measuring the current of the FPGA 1V0 rail. I had always wondered about that. I would not have guessed such a low value. It's true that none of the FPGA logic switches above the ADC c…
-
Perhaps they are asking you to add a connect time limit to your Kiwi. For example, I was not able to connect because all the channels were busy. And I see from your entry on rx.kiwisdr.com that you do not have any time limit setup currently. A time …
-
We're also adding a washer to one of the case screws and recommend that you add a ground wire to the case if your antenna connection does not provide a good ground. It is important to provide a ground path for any static charge dissipation.

One of the units had the CPU board nearly disconnected (apparently due to heavy DHL handling). It was just opening the cover and pressing the board to the connector, but it is worth checking with every unit when receiving. —Kauto OH2LFM David, ZL2B…

Friendly reminder that I am more than happy to fix this problem for you. I don't want anyone out there to feel their Kiwi is toast due to my stupidity. This situation is entirely recoverable. I've fixed 87 of them now (by hand, over the net). Takes …

It depends on what you mean by "log" as there are some subtle differences. Not all messages appearing in the admin log tab are recorded in the Linux syslog. The ones prefixed with an "L" are. They should be recorded in /var/log a…

The admin page, config tab, colormap setting only applies if no override exists in browser storage from a previous visit to the particular Kiwi. Usually the first time you visit it (or after a storage/cache clear). If it's starting with csdr just ch…

Well, except that's not happening anymore. For whatever reason (and there are many). And that makes it tough justifying major financial and time commitments to future projects when the likely uptake is now very uncertain.
-
Most of your problems would probably disappear if you got rid of that awful Ethernet-over-powerline RFI generator and replaced it with this on the Kiwi end: TP-Link TL-WR802N Also, reduce the Ethernet speed to 10 mbps on the admin network tab.

Although I should add that despite Martin's well-chosen words "extremely difficult trading environment" we still have some cool stuff in the pipeline. We haven't given up.
