  • Do you know your public IP address? Could you email it (or alternatively the admin password to that Kiwi) to support@kiwisdr.com It might be that your public IP is on the IP blacklist. Although I don't know why that would be.
  • I'm able to get to it fine from here (NZ). It's been up a little over 4 hours. It says it's the one in Thailand. Is that right? It's running the latest version. So the update worked. That kind of network error (unexpected closing of connection) coul…
  • Use <span> instead of <p> and use &nbsp; where you need to force a "non breaking space" (or use the margin and padding styles to get the spacing you want)

  • Although I think public Kiwis with ham-band-only frequency masking is kind of annoying, I've had several requests to make this easier to setup. So in the documentation describing the feature there is a .json or .csv file you can use with the admin/D…
  • What happens when you use the frontend script directly with the shell commands I mentioned earlier and completely factor out the Kiwi antenna switch interface? I am wondering if this is just a bug in the Arduino backend script.
  • A bit difficult to tell from that photo, but it seems the PCB pads have been torn off. In that case about all you could do is solder a wire from the positive lug of the DC jack to the 5VE pin on the P9 header. Not the easiest thing to do. But possib…
  • There is a proxy service built-in to the Kiwi. There will be a small charge for it in the future. But currently there is not. Open the admin page and click on the "connect" tab. Note the 5-item menu on the left and the third item "Rev…
  • Is there any followup to this? You folks that have antenna switches with a "set all antennas to ground" mode: Does that occur when "Switch to default antenna ..." is set to "Yes" and none of the "Default antenna&qu…
  • Okay. Glad you got it working. Like I've said so many times, power issues are the root cause of many Kiwi problems. There will be much more attention paid to this design issue with future products.
  • The other possibility is to use the Kiwi-1 itself (running Debian 8) to create the Debian 11 re-flasher card (instead of using the Windows 11 PC). Follow the different set of instructions on kiwisdr.com. Use the Kiwi admin page "console" t…
  • Well, there must be something you're doing wrong in transferring the .img file to the sd card. Are you certain you followed all the instructions precisely? You decompressed the 756 MB .img.xz file to create the 3 GB .img file? And then used a progra…
  • First, there is no way you have a 2GB (eMMC) Beagle unless it's a BeagleBone Black you bought yourself back in 2014-2016. All "rev C" BeagleBone Blacks were 4GB and all BeagleBone Greens were 4GB. No Kiwi was ever sold with a 2GB Beagle si…
  • No. Didn't want to make things quite so easy for China.
  • v1.682 fixes the problem reported by @HB9TMC where ipset/iptables wasn't filtering properly (but the Kiwi server was as a backup). But I also noticed something important. On the admin network tab, the "local blacklist" section where you ca…
  • Just to clarify: We might be "based on" OpenWebRX (back in 2016), but we certainly did not track the (much later) improvements made with the spin-off versions. ..by holding down the mouse wheel Do you really mean by clicking the mouse whee…
  • The spectrum shown here for Paul WB6CXC's 4-element Elliptic 30 MHz LPF is pretty spectacular: turnislandsystems.com/test-results-shelving-low-pass-filter
  • Okay, after reviewing the code it has reminded me of something. There is a feature that if a connection that has exceeded the 24hr connection time limit continues to try connecting (like a bot might) it will dynamically get added to the in-memory (n…
  • If anyone has any problems with this release please let us know. I'd like to use it as the basis for a new re-flash image to be used with our upcoming build of more units.

  • Yes, after I posted I went and saw that you public Kiwi is not proxied and uses DDNS. So it's quite possible there is a problem. I agree that iptables should be doing the filtering in that case. Not sure why my.kiwisdr.com is not registering both of…
  • If your Kiwi is proxied then the filtering cannot be done at the iptables level since all traffic appears with a source IP of the kiwisdr.com proxy server. The filtering must be done by the Kiwi server based on the true IP source passed along in the…
  • Good timing. Just moments ago I made that exact change: If none of the "Default antenna" checkboxes are ticked, and the "Switch to default antenna ..." is set to "Yes", then I now send the generic "ground all"…
  • You only have 3 sats in the az/el display which is the bare minimum to maintain a lock (assuming they're strong enough to be tracking & decoding properly). What happens if you turn off GPS, do a manual calibration, and just let it free-run?
  • Important information missing in the above post. Which antenna switch device? None of the logic for grounding antennas was changed in any of the scripts. Does your antenna device ground any antenna that is not selected? Such that the correct action …
  • I have a Leo Bodnar GPS standard also in the shack...is there a way to feed that output into the KiwiSDR in place of its onboard GPS receiver? Kiwi-2? Yes. There's a connector marked "EXT CLK". Kiwi-1? More difficult. Requires you solderin…
  • I did not write that Android app. You'd have to contact the author directly somehow.

  • Sorry about that. Somehow I failed to notice it.
  • Okay, I see that now. Interesting problem. Thank you.
    in v1.679 Comment by jks May 2024
  • Please make sure your Kiwi is adequately grounded. So the antenna input protection circuitry has a path to drain any charge it is intercepting. Ideally this would be on the antenna coax near the RF in SMA connector. Or from the Kiwi metal case. The …
