  • Are you able to load these two files directly with your browser? They contain the list of reference and sampling stations (respectively) used by the TDoA extension. If you get an error loading these files then maybe your IP address is in the IP blac…
  • Adding a large cap has its own problems. If the power supply is turned on, and the cap charged, then plugging the live power cable into the Kiwi should work. If it doesn't then it's got to be the cable length or wire gauge. You can only see the volt…
  • Well, that's why I said "probably". The day any of this nonsense starts to impact me is the day I shut everything down.
  • A bit of a long story. But the Kiwi server displays and logs the geolocation lookup of the user's connecting IP address. Because the geolocation servers have a limit on the number of lookups they will do for free per day the lookup is done from the …

  • My view of the GDPR is that people should not comment (and draw conclusions) about it until they've actually read it. Because if you have you would have noticed certain provisions in Article 2 (c) and recital 18 which probably apply to our "per…
  • Getting a short burst of light on the power LED (the one between the Ethernet and USB connectors) when the Beagle and Kiwi boards are used together sounds like the "brownout" problem. Where a cable between power supply and Kiwi is either t…
  • Well, none of this is really new. It's just operating in the modern context of SDRs and the Internet. Hams have been "bootlegging" callsigns for nearly 100 years. Pirates have always existed. Most countries technically have regulations all…
  • Please email you Kiwi serial number to support@kiwisdr.com I can look at the server logs and see what info it sent when trying to register for the my.kiwisdr.com service.
  • Most everyone is seeing this (public Kiwis). I think it's just a script somewhere gone bad. The connections are obviously not long enough to even be getting any data. They serve no purpose. A "non-Kiwi" connection are things like kiwirecor…
  • We've received another run of boards. Assembly, programming and test are in progress. One issue is that a huge quantity of the enclosures we had shipped by cargo container instead of air freight. But due to bad weather the container was delayed. So …
  • Okay Chris. Glad you got it working. I've mentioned elsewhere that future products will include one of those little OLED displays to tell you what the heck is going on for cases like this.
  • Yes, you are correct. The "other" problem is the length of the cable and size of the wire used in the cable. This can cause I^2R voltage drop even if the power supply current delivery is not a problem.
  • It should be set for DHCP. I just looked at an sd card I have here with that image. The file /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network is specifying DHCP: [Match] Name=eth0 Type=ether [Link] RequiredForOnline=yes [Network] DHCP=ipv4 And the Kiwi admin confi…
  • Please email the serial number to support@kiwisdr.com. I can look at logs on kiwisdr.com and see the last thing it did. Also, what shows up when you view the my.kiwisdr.com page? Is your Kiwi listed there?
  • Believe it or not, this was probably a power supply problem. We've seen over the years that writing SD cards requires a substantial amount of extra peak current. So a power supply that operates a Beagle + Kiwi board normally may not also be able to …
  • I just now went through the entire procedure myself to verify that it still works (it does). You might try another SD card and see if that helps. I used the procedure for Beagle / Debian Linux (instead of Windows) where you download (using wget) and…
  • What are you talking about? There is going to be no logo replacement except for dropping the text.

  • Okay, that's good.
  • Where's Rodney Dangerfield when we really need him?

  • The answer to your (very good) question is "no" for Kiwi-2. But definitely "yes" for future products. I have an old hp z3801a and I don't run it either due to the power consumption, lol. On the other hand, double ovens are a wond…
  • Okay, I can take out the newline chars in the next release. If it breaks any other programs then I can add an option to include the newline or not.
  • When the antenna switch code was integrated it had to leave the general extensions "framework" which gave each extension its own realtime task and a bunch of other stuff that made the life of the extension-writer easier. I wasn't quite sur…
  • Is the single blue LED (not the four blue LEDs together) on the "right" side of the Ethernet RJ45 connector lit when it is in this condition? Does it work if you plug a "hot" cable from the linear supply to into the Kiwi DC jack?…
  • Please tell me of a public Kiwi that's doing this. None of mine are so I can't debug the problem..
  • Shift and baud rate are unfortunately only part of the story. You also have to get the framing, encoding and inversion correct. This can be difficult if the signal is completely unknown. But, that said, this looks more like an Ethernet spur than an …
  • Well, this is a puzzle. Connected to the Thailand Kiwi as admin (via ve3hls.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/admin) and looking at the iptables and Kiwi blacklist filtering there are exactly zero IP packets that have been filtered out. And that Kiwi can conta…
  • I've updated the operating guide to have a pointer to the latest antenna switch README file (on Github) which lists all the supported switches since the integration of the switch code into the Kiwi server: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id…
  • Well, if you email your admin password to me I can connect, get your public IP, and try and see if the IP blacklist is rejecting your proxy connections from your current location.
