Yeah, that's awful. I don't know why I thought it was "not terrible". I've optimized the color palette for the next release.

http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-dload and look for "Optionally downloading the software" in the index near the top of the page. Or use this link (in all browsers except Safari which doesn't work for reasons I still don't unders…

All the NCOs use 48-bit frequency registers and phase accumulators as of 2018. The forum thread I mentioned earlier (Nov 2019) makes reference to an even earlier thread (Sep 2018, https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1333/external-gps-c…

Well, the VLF stuff looks okay. Attached is a 10 minute run of NLK 24.8 kHz. Setup is all in the URL. Note that the PLL is off. I know the GPS is updating on this Kiwi because the "GPS corrections" counter at the bottom left of the IQ pane…
-
Yeah, that's not right. Is the PLL turned off on the IQ extension? There was a bug spotted by Glenn back in 2019 that was causing unexpected rotation/jitter of VLF stations even with GPS/GPSDO referenced Kiwis. Thread here: https://forum.kiwisdr.com…

The 2-d (X/Y addressable, "curses-compatible", ANSI escape sequence support -- whatever you want to call it) addition to the Kiwi admin console tab is relatively new. As such I don't have a lot of experience with the default colors used by…

I haven't tried restoring from the Debian 8 sd card image in quite a while. So I'll try that and see if I can replicate the problem. Starting with Debian 9 (I think) root logins are disabled by default. This is not a Kiwi thing but a Debian and/or B…

Glib is needed by the HFDL extension (first released in v1.472). It was quite a lot of trouble getting the Kiwi build process to pull in all the libraries needed by the dumphfdl code. It really should work updating from v1.390 since it obviously wor…
-
That's what I do: Hardwire local ip address assignments in the router based on specific Ethernet MAC IDs. The Ethernet MAC (unique per Kiwi) is listed on the admin page, network tab. The assignments are still done via the router DHCP server, but the…
-
@rrobinet I know this sounds like level-one tech support, but try another sd card. Those things are so unreliable. I always buy them a dozen at a time from Mouser/DigiKey because I know 15% of them will be bad. Even a decent brand like Samsung/Pana…

I don't know how the lib_ft8 code computes the value for "dT". We either need a calibration adjustment like was done for the SNR value or it needs to be removed entirely.
-
Just looking around the public Kiwis I found one using autorun (and running v1.588) and spots are being uploaded to wsprnet.org successfully (http://n4jjs.com:8073) Anyone else having problems?
-
Admin page, extensions tab, WSPR sub-tab at bottom of left column (scroll down if needed). Autorun menus are at the bottom of the page. Use the autorun restart button after making a change. Note that there is no autorun option (yet) for the FT8 exte…
-
If you read the instructions you'll note that you've now successfully completed a re-flash of the filesystem (eMMC) on the Beagle from the sd card. The LED patterns you observed are exactly right. While powered off remove the sd card and then power…
-
Well, I don't know. I had two crashes right in a row on a BBAI running FT8+WSPR simultaneously. But now I've run for 2 hours straight without a problem. So this might be less of an issue than I thought. Still, if you're having trouble this might be …
-
v1.588 fixes the looping issue. But there seems to be an interaction issue between FT8 and WSPR on BBAI/AI64 Kiwis. So don't run FT8 on AI/AI64 Kiwis running the WSPR extension for now (either manually or via autorun). Remember that you can disable …
-
Don't run FT8 on a Kiwi that has WSPR running. They may be a problem. I have only seen this on a BBAI Kiwi so far, which handles WSPR decoding differently. But WSPR itself seems to work fine on v1.588
-
Yeah, lol, that hash code is completely wrong. Or my co-opting it for use with pskreporter is wrong depending on how you look at it. That hash code depends on that fact that the age eviction rate is high enough it always keeps the hashtable from fil…
-
I used the existing FT8 callsign hashtable (from the original ft8_lib code) as a callsign upload rate limiter for pskreporter.info I made the hashtable larger and a few other changes, but otherwise unchanged. It's possible there's a bug. Let me sim…

v1.587 Mar 13, 2023 FT8 extension: Limit log output to 1024 lines (roughly 10 minutes of decodes). Prevents browser from eventually going into meltdown. Reverted SNR measurement change per request.
-
Well, let me know if you want the change reverted. I've got an update ready to go out with an FT8 fix.
-
That ip is actually in Hong Kong. Blacklist updated.
-
Are you always decoding FT8 in these failure cases? We have another report of long-running FT8 decoding crashing the server. For what it's worth I always use Firefox. But mostly because I'm used to its debugging capabilities.
-
Always possible. I'd have to run using the compiler address sanitizer to catch any memory bound/leak problems. I've done that here using a test file to find first-order problems (since I have no reception). Need a longer term test using a remote Kiw…

Averaging occurred previously. The waterfall capture was run in "fast" mode and 32 averages taken (over about one second). Now it's run in "1 Hz" mode and 64 averages taken (over about one minute).
-
I don't think the ft8_lib code handles FST4. I wouldn't have a clue how to add it..
-
This is indeed a bug. I'm surprised it had not been noticed before. The issue is that the mechanism that automatically updates the grid field from GPS (once every 10 seconds) interferes with a partial manual entry into the field. That is, as you're …
-
@wayne Well, I don't know yet. I need to spend more time studying the ft8_lib code now that the initial release is out. As with most things on the Kiwi you could just try it and see what happens. Interestingly though, the Kiwi may have a decode pro…

Like this? https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/820/SD76XA41JJJK.png

Yeah, I'd like to know too. It means someone, or something, is issuing reasonable looking Kiwi API commands without having first sent the all important SET auth command to establish connection authentication. It's difficult for me to imagine how thi…
