  • And the better part of a day wasted beefing up the kiwisdr.com filtering against this nonsense. Time I really need to be spending on the cool stuff that's coming.. https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/131/MOLAKH1VPLE5.png
  • Bump, so visible on the "feature request" category. See also: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/2055/squelch-for-ssb
  • As mentioned in that post, I quickly implemented the simplest, dirtiest server that followed the minimum SpyServer protocol just to get SDR++ to work (barely). My goal was to see if this concept was even possible. SDR++ was the fastest route to that…
  • Bump, because this thread wasn't showing since it was moved to the "feature requests" category. Apparently threads which pre-date new category creation are simply not displayed. Forum software bug!
  • Thanks! I forgot that the URL scan list is also entered as the first entry in the local menu.
  • Hmm. Yes, seems to be a bug in the v1.809 software release. That's unfortunate. I've fixed the problem. But I'm not sure when we're going to have a new release.
  • Fixed in v1.809. The timestamp menu setting, including any custom value, and URL/local menu setting will be saved in browser storage. Also, the complete list of URL parameters is here: http://kiwisdr.com/info/#id-user-tune
  • You say "showing on the network", but does being in that list mean it has actively responded to a ping (or something else) at that moment? Or is that just a table from a router that might have a stale entry from the last time the Kiwi was …
  • Just a stab-in-the-dark: Did you happen to put anything new in your local blacklist on the admin network tab recently? We had one user in the last few days with very similar symptoms: The proxy service on kiwisdr.com would see the request to get set…
  • Same argument can be made for people deciding if they should make their own Kiwi public or not. Yes we have 800+ public Kiwi*. But, sadly, the vast majority of those are "less than satisfactory". Not only for reception quality reasons, but…
  • Another excellent idea!
  • Thinking about this some more (because I can't help myself). Higher frequency time stations are more useful because there is more relative frequency offset to visualize. At least when doing a manual calibration and you need to "eyeball" th…
  • Good idea. Then I always think to myself: Gee, who's going to do all this work? lol
  • A Kiwi must be running v1.690 or later to be listed. This is because there had to be a non-backward compatible change to the proxy service. And I wanted to encourage as many people as possible to update. Not listing Kiwi's running old software was o…
  • The easiest thing to do in this situation is to keep the Kiwi in a relatively temperature stable environment and do a manual frequency calibration (see admin page, end of the "config" tab for instructions). Yes, finding a TXCO around that …
  • My guess is a malfunctioning transmitter. Especially with that unstable carrier frequency. If it's part of a multi-frequency network then sometimes it can take time to be discovered and fixed (traffic gets through on another frequency). I remember t…
  • There is a mention of external network logging here: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/11069/#Comment_11069 And a post at the end of that thread. But it is light on detail. And there is always a risk of running other programs…

  • As long as the "log decodes to syslog?" switch is set to "no" the filesystem won't fill-up. You'll still see the last decodes in the in-memory log of the admin log tab. But they will not be saved. Some time ago a remote logging s…

  • As Thierry mentions this seems to be a problem with inbound traffic. Not just inbound connection initiation, which the reverse proxy overcomes. But all inbound traffic. I can see the Kiwi register for public access and the proxy service. But then no…
  • Short answer, no. I don't know the details. But isn't VARA closed source? There is a protocol spec I believe. But perhaps not enough to implement an open source version? I don't know anything about VarAC. Plus that whole subject seems to be a politi…
    in VARAC Comment by jks April 20
  • Are you asking if there is a JSON control API for the Kiwi? There isn't, but probably should be. Some AJAX responses are in JSON. And I've been trying to move in that direction as they are added. There is a control API between the server and the bro…

  • Well, I don't know. I tried zeroing an sd card with Linux "dd" such that the partition table was wiped clean. And then verified that fact with "sfdisk". Then ran the script directly so the error message associated with a potentia…
  • First, what software version is the Kiwi-1 running? This is shown on the admin page, status tab. We had a problem a number of years ago with carrier tones leaking through in AM mode. You should never have to re-balance the IQ. The default values are…
    in AM beating Comment by jks April 18
  • No it isn't actually. Even if you're on a computer on your "local" network, from the Kiwi's perspective, using a proxy connection (even for an admin connection) is going out to the proxy server at proxy.kiwisdr.com and back in again to you…
    in Local connection Comment by jks April 16
  • @dl7awl Sorry, there was some missing text on that page describing that the new button on the admin backup tab must be used. I've fixed that now. @ww6d I'm surprised you thought some sort of formatting of the sd card was necessary. That should not b…
  • I just did this for a customer (D11.9 to D11.11) using the admin console and it took 30 minutes. With the server running and active user connections.

  • @VK3KHZ Thanks, fixed. I'm so used to doing those things via an ssh connection. Didn't help that I had been up since 3AM yesterday! lol

  • Rather than starting a new topic it's important to make follow-up comments to the original thread. Otherwise this forum will become a gigantic mess (more so than it already is, lol). From the same local network as the Kiwi you should always be able …

  • You can update the Debian minor version number from the command line (just not the major version number). Open the admin console tab. Then type: pkup (package update) pkug (package upgrade) reboot This should upgrade you from Debian 11.9 to 11…
