Is it a thin white line that shows up erratically every few "inches" of vertical waterfall? ANd then scrolls down to follow the waterfall. Add flashes some as it does? What browser on the iPad Air? This is most likely a browser rendering e…

I wish I could find some open source code that does FSK signal parameter classification (and digital classification in general). But software like that tends to be proprietary and cost money (and for good reason). Under the "decode" menu a…

You guys shouldn't think using "limiters" and other such devices will save your Kiwi when any nearby transmitter is involved. In the good old days there was always a TR switch (transmit/receive) involved that disconnected and grounded the …

From your description it certainly sounds like an open attenuator. Especially if you're getting the self-test patterns, just attenuated by 40 dB. Please send an email to sales@kiwisdr.nz (note ".nz") requesting a repair. We're having to fi…

Remember that on the admin config tab you can adjust the ident field (name/callsign) length from the default 16 characters all the way up to 64.
-
Could you please email your admin password to support@kiwisdr.com There is a bug I think I've fixed for the next release related to this problem. But I'd like to double check the fix logic now that there is another failing case. Thanks

If you're using a desktop (i.e. not mobile) then hovering the cursor over the values on the user page, or the rx.kiwisdr.com listing, shows a popup giving the frequency ranges.

By request: the list is now sorted in 0-30 MHz SNR order. There is a new menu to select the alternate 1.8-30 MHz (HF) order.

Sorry about that. I forgot that I needed to update the other programs, and not just kiwirecorder.py, when I added busy_retries etc last week. It's now fixed if you update your repo clone. Also note that kiwirecorder had been updated a while back to …
-
I just updated that readme file with some installation instructions. Let me know if I need to do more.
-
Hi Steve. Yes, v1.611 is almost 90 software releases behind. So it doesn't surprise me the re-clone feature is not available in that version. Please email support@kiwisdr.com as I think the easiest way forward is to put this Kiwi on the proxy servic…

A KiwiSDR in NZ? Probably just a harmonic or an overloaded ADC.
-
Sorry it took a while. Lots going on..
-
See your other post for the new "busy retry" options I've added. Also, messages are now printed for connection and busy failures by default instead of kiwirecorder just being silent. That setting about "channels available for non-Kiwi…
-
I just added two new parameters to kiwirecorder: --busy-timeout and --busy-retries These are similar to --connect-timeout and --connect-retries except apply to when a Kiwi says it's busy (all available connections in use) as opposed to not respondin…

Okay, so there is one problem. If the server starts out with the switch device set to "disable", then you change it to a working switch (like the built-in "beagle-gpio"), you'll correctly get an "antenna is grounded" er…
-
Do you have an antenna switch setup? Or is the "switch device" set to "disable" on the admin antenna switch configuration page? If an antenna switch setup, is the option "Ground antennas when no users connected?" set to…
-
Sort of a long story. But if you look carefully at the Github diffs for the v1.687 release (25 June 1:40pm) there was a problem with it that affected Kiwi-1s that was fixed with v1.688 release (26 June 3:19am). So if your Kiwi-1 happened to update i…
-
I think I see what's going on. Since you have shell access to Debian/Linux maybe the easiest way is for you to do a manual update as opposed to figuring out how to setup router port forwarding. So try this procedure. First, login as debian/my_serial…
-
If you browse to my.kiwisdr.com is there an entry there for your serial number? Do you know how to open the ssh port (22) on your router and point it at the Beagle's local IP address so that I could connect and see/fix it? If so, please email your p…
-
Yes, this doesn't surprise me. The intent of the Kiwi extensions was always to get something working quickly that had reasonable performance, starting with whatever open source code I could find. It's the novelty of finding everything in one place, …
-
Yeah, just a bug. Already fixed for the next release. Thanks
-
Yeah, that's impossible. It doesn't happen here using the GPIO backend and there is no code that would do that. It's got to be more Netshield weirdness.
-
Works fine here testing with the Beagle-GPIO backend. Are you sure this isn't just a case of the code in your Netshield not working correctly for the "ground antennas" command? Or it could be a bug in the Netshield backend script I suppose…
-
All I can say for sure is that photo is from the old Seeed web store page. I don't know anything else about these, or if they're even real. I hope the guy that bought it did a chargeback! lol
-
We should probably take this to email (again). A few things. An accessory box should definitely be a formal KiwiSDR NZ product. This is because of a counter-counter-argument. Yes a second product is more overhead for us. But it can also be implement…
-
Just to be sure, have you run the self-test procedure with the supplied cable? http://kiwisdr.com/info/#id-self-test We're finding the Kiwi-2 electronic attenuator goes open-circuit in a lot of cases. Despite all of the protection we built in to Kiw…
-
I can't speak to relative Navtex/DSC performance directly. But I can tell you about the FSK decoder on which they are based. The current Kiwi FSK decoder is based on some old open source code I found a long time ago. Same for the CW decoder. But the…
-
Hi Glenn, Yes, no reason not to have some UI that is more specific for the FE. I'd be happy to do that. I've been struggling with the idea of which to do: An "accessory box" that supports Kiwi-2/-1. Or Kiwi-3. I don't think it's possible t…
-
I base the UI design on how it looks on a laptop with a 16" display. I don't think it should be worse on a large monitor but I'm not 100% sure about that. I should be using fixed font sizes (with some scaling) everywhere. Browsers also allow yo…
