  • From the CHANGE_LOG file: v1.584 Mar 6, 2023   FT8 extension:     First URL parameter selects an entry in the freq menu, E.g. "my_kiwi:8073/?ext=ft8,10136"           Added clickable call/grid links to older, previously reported, spots.    …
  • Like I said in my earlier message, I'm not going to comment further about the complexities of this situation. But since the issue of fake/counterfeit/recycled/resold/new-old-stock chips has come up, let me mention Jon from Asianometry. The single be…
  • On the admin page log tab is the FT8 extension included? Something roughly like: Sat Mar 4 02:54:19 00:00:02.936 .... ext_register: #6 "FAX" Sat Mar 4 02:54:19 00:00:02.936 .... ext_register: #7 "FFT" Sat Mar 4 0…
  • @benson Thanks for the data. It would indeed be interesting to see this plot with more data.
  • Nice. Thanks for the SNR data point. Autorun: I haven't decided. On the pskreporter forum there is a lot of talk about how overloaded their servers currently are. So I feel kind of guilty dumping another new client on them. Autorun would obviously m…
  • In v1.583 FT8 note this bug: If the reporter grid is not set (i.e. blank) you still get a km distance reading (Kiwi to spotted station). But this distance is not from the Kiwi, but rather from Null Island (lat,lon = 0,0 = grid II99xx/JJ00aa approx).…
  • Fixed in v1.583
  • @eckrot Yes, it certainly is affected. Fix coming soon..
  • Is this a public Kiwi? I can't find any record of it. The last time it used the proxy service its public ip address was 134.236.x.x which is allocated to an ISP in Thailand. That can't be right, can it? Are you using a global VPN on your router? Hav…
  • I've never been able to replicate the failure here. But there is some evidence that what's happening is this: The Kiwi is set for DHCP mode. After a power failure the Kiwi comes up long before the DHCP server of the router. The Debian Ethernet inter…
  • Try power cycling the Kiwi. If after a power failure the Kiwi comes up before a slow router that serves ip addresses via DHCP there can be synchronization problems.
  • Okay, I made those changes. You should see them next time you reload the page and open the extension.
  • I just noticed the URL in the first post has /?abuf=0.25,0.25 That is an invalid audio buffer setup. The two numbers are min and max buffer times. If you set the max equal to the min I don't know what effect that will have. Probably nothing good. Us…
  • It's pretty well documented: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-config-DX You'll get error messages in the log if there are any problems with a particular line of CSV. Plus you can save into a CSV file to see how certain cases are handled …
  • The IP addr shown after "private IP address" is determined at Kiwi server start time by a complicated process of looking at all network interfaces. Could you paste here some debug messages you'll find on the admin page, log tab please? (or…
  • What happens if you reload the admin page? What about after restarting the Kiwi? Had you just changed from DHCP mode to a static 192.xxx address? Does any part of your network use 10.xxx addresses?
  • I never had a connection dropped to the Kiwi URL listed in the first post. Only these long pauses which always eventually recovered. Interestingly, if you look closely at a completely zoomed out waterfall you'll note the WF always "catches up&q…
  • In writing code to upload spots to PSKReporter I've come to understand it is very different from WSPRnet. The latter wants every single spot reported, every 2 minutes (WSPR-2), no matter what (obviously some dup filtering etc applied before uploadin…
    in FT8? Comment by jks February 2023
  • Other than watching the decodes scroll by, uploading to PSK reporter is about the only interesting thing to do I think. Of course FTx is a tx/rx mode. And with the tx part missing a lot of the purpose is lost.

  • Okay, I see it now. Of course my tests didn't trigger the bug, lol. Fix coming soon..
  • Are you talking about creating a label (preset) from a user connection (not admin) using the "DX label edit" panel that comes up when you shift-click in the label bar above the frequency scale? I tried creating new labels a bunch of differ…
  • Maybe Wayne is running his Kiwi in 3-channel, 20.25 kHz mode which would produce an audio response above 6 kHz?
  • Maybe there is a problem with the "hot fix" changes I pushed out not getting picked up by use of the "build now" button. I'm trying to get a v1.578 release together sometime today..
  • You guys need to understand that for DRM signal strength isn't the only determining factor in getting successful decodes. Just as important is the degree of selective fading (those dark ripples you see in the DRM waterfall if the waterfall colors ar…

  • @G4DYA Are you sure you rebuilt v1.577 using the "build now" button on the admin update page? Because that response looks exactly like the unwanted FIR LPF that was hiding in the NFM squelch code that I just removed. I'm working on some o…
  • I goofed in my earlier post (now fixed). It's really spec.peak[12]_color that you need, not peak_color[12]
  • The supplied antenna is an active one, just not that great. Definitely do not attempt to extend the length of its high-loss rg174. Many installations use those NOS Lucent/Alcatel "bullet" shaped antennas from Ebay etc. Here is a long threa…
    in GPS antenna Comment by jks February 2023
  • I pushed some changes as a hot fix rather than a full release. Use the "Build now" button on the admin update tab. There was an unwanted LPF in the FM squelch code attenuating the high end. Also a high end bug in my FIR code. Should be muc…
  • I see what's wrong with 4+ kHz. Give me a little while to fix it.
  • You don't need to involve Github. Please follow the instructions here: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-dload
