If you have configuration changes you care about (especially edited dx labels) then yes, do a backup first. Use an 8 GB or larger sd card. Sure, try the "force build" button. Then go to the console tab and type "tail -f /root/build.lo…

With Kiwi-1 in 2016 I donated about US $5k worth of Kiwis to people in interesting locations worldwide. Only about 20% of those remain operational today. A few I donated were never even setup.

Apologies for doubting you in the beginning. I just can't remember all the little problems that have occurred and been fixed along the way. I think this bug was originally uncovered because I had changed the TDoA server field for some reason (probab…
-
So this is a bug with old versions of the code. It was fixed in v1.616 on 9 July 2023. I can't remember stuff going back that far.. After updating to the latest version you may have to re-enter "http://tdoa.kiwisdr.com" in the "TDoA s…
-
Well, maybe this is a bug in v1.601 we never caught. That changing the TDoA URL (which you should have no reason for doing) somehow clobbers the public registration URL. Please update to the latest version (v1.640) and let's see if this problem goes…
-
I don't understand. You changed that where? On the admin, extensions, TDoA page?
-
Also, why is the Kiwi's local IP address in the self-assign IP range? (169.254.x.x) Isn't there a DHCP server someplace to assign it a proper local-space IP address? I'm not sure what effect using a self-assigned IP for a public Kiwi has. I don't te…
-
Well you changed something, because now the public registration URL is being received by kiwisdr.com as "http://:18073" Note the complete lack of a domain name or IP address. What did you change? There must be something you're not telling …
-
What does the network tab say when you use the "check open port" button? Show me the two URLs displayed next to that button. If it looks okay then restart your Beagle. See if that clears it up.
-
Even though your Kiwi responds at that URL above, your Kiwi is telling kiwisdr.com that its URL is "http://http://tdoa.kiwisdr.com:18073" (note the double "http" and "tdoa"). So check the configuration on the admin conn…

The Elad doesn't put DC on its outputs does it? If so it might have damaged the Kiwi TVS input diodes. Seems unlikely though.
-
Okay, this turned out to be a simpler problem than I thought and is fixed in today's v1.640 release. The code was incorrectly flagging unused Galileo subframe types as errors (e.g. the almanac subframes). You should no longer see the green S indicat…
-
I am seeing this now. I get 4 green S (solution) status flashes in a row followed by 4 periods of no S. Sometime a P (parity error) during those times. My guess is that this is a problem in the message extraction code for Galileo, which is completel…
-
This sounds like a local networking setup problem to me. Try simplifying the setup. Get rid of the "smart switch" temporarily by connecting directly to the router. Try changing Ethernet cables. Unless you specifically disabled it the Kiwi …

Yes. Kiwi DC jack goes direct to 5VE on header. Down to BBG. BBG power controller switches it and sends back up to Kiwi board as 5V and 3.3V. So BBG is completely in the power path.
-
T301 is the schematic part reference. 501Y is the CMC part value. It's all the same part.
-
We've had a number of cases where the Beagle gets blown up by (presumably) a very bad transient on the 5V input, but the Kiwi board survives. In essence the Beagle acts as a moderately priced fuse. So well worth it to replace the Beagle and see if i…
-
Rather than the design review document (which by now is horribly out-of-date) what you want is the troubleshooting guide: http://www.kiwisdr.com/ks/troubleshooting.pdf There is also a recent forum thread about how to bypass the 5V input choke: https…
-
Can you be more specific? A search on rx.kiwisdr.com for "alness" turns up nothing. Also, you may have to contact the Kiwi owner/admin if there is an email link in the user control panel "stat" tab (assuming they're not reading h…

v1.639 has a completely new frequency memory menu user interface to try: v1.639 November 26, 2023 New frequency memory menu user interface: Auto or manual save mode. Click-hold of memory icon does save in manual save mode. Optional sav…

Cost will be revealed when the store opens.

The third (and hopefully final) prototype version went out for fabrication last Monday (20 Nov). Being built by the manufacturer in NZ we have chosen to work with (the prior two prototypes were manufactured elsewhere). We need to be certain they can…

From the wsprnet.org curl URL: mine: date=231125 (25 nov 2023 UTC) yours: date=160524 (24 may 2016 UTC) So we need to figure out what's going on there! That looks like the default Beagle Debian 8 image year. But NTPd should be running on Linux b…

In the admin extensions tab, under WSPR, set the Log spot debug info? setting to Yes. Then after you get some decodes look at the admin log tab for messages like the following. Check the ones that begin "wsprnet.org said:" and see if the s…

I believe it's working correctly. Although the yellow IQ bal and Fcal buttons will appear for regular user connections, as soon as you press them the admin password entry panel will appear before allowing you to go any further. From a local network …

Checking..

Ha! Thanks for that. This is interesting because during the Bouvet 3Y0J operation, where there was considerable piracy, I had also thought about what FT8-based anti-spoofing methods might be implemented. Although the H44WA method certainly helps I d…
-
Alright, let me add back the old behavior as the default. And have a selection for the new mode directly in the menu itself so you don't have to know to go to the right-click menu to find it. I had a number of people say the old mode was useless as …
-
I had a request to also store/retrieve the mode in the frequency menu. It could be conditional as follows. Each time you press the store entry in the frequency menu, while holding shift (or while holding down long enough), the mode and zoom would ad…

Try this. Open the admin console tab, or make a ssh/PuTTY connection to a shell on the Kiwi. Type: cd /root/KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension gup (updates to latest version of antenna switch sources) bash ./ant-switch-extension-installer (choose &quo…
