Nate, A Solar Power Controller will add an additional load to your estimate. If we round your 12 to 13W for total load, times 24 hours per day means you will need a battery capacity of 312 Wh, to run for one day without sun. If you need to run mu…

Nate, I have a long running project where I am trying to power my two FCC Part-15 beacons from Solar/Battery Power. Until this year, I have had little success getting thru December, let along the rest of winter. This year I am having better succes…

I too, have ask jks about adding that capability to the wish list. I use the sparkfun version of that device on an Arduino UNO. It's not perfect, but responds better than I do with a manual disconnect. It is fairly reliable to alarm when lightning i…

Another observed problem with v1.691. Maybe it's related to the dropping off the list issue. Overall the old list of Antenna Switch issues seem to work properly. However, I find the Antenna Extension on the control panel is not being updated. No bu…

@jks Thank you for the response. I understand the other ways to access the kiwi thru ethernet. StarLink is my ISP provider and they use CGNAT which prevents any of my IP4 hosts from being open to the outside internet. I have turned off their rou…

@HB9TMC Yes that is the correct url. The connect screen currently contains this information; Reverse Proxy; User Key; I previously deleted out my user key, it now says "required" Host Name: I previously deleted out my host name, it now…

@jks You say this is complete nonsense. I don't know what you are implying sir, but I wrote this discovery as I was continuing the development of my Arduino Antenna Switch. I was using tcp captures on the BBG to aid my debugging. I have tcpdum…

Andrej; Yes, I have found the Kiwi does not handle Antenna Mixing well (or at all) using the Arduino Netshield device. Also the mixing option does not stay set over a number of situations like a BBB/G reboot. I have found a couple other issues as…

Guys, I have modified the Arduino netshield script to work using both the Arduino UNO-R4 WiFi and the Arduino Nano ESP32. The status update on the Kiwi screen was unpredictable. I found the Initialize section of the Arduino backend script hard code…

@Cheeto_Bandito ; Mike N8OOU here. I use Starlink as my ISP provider. I also have a Kiwi connected to that provider. It was not simple, easy, or cheap to get that combination working. It also helps a bunch, if the installer has knowledge and experie…

@jks I did the Kiwisdr server restart as requested and yes, that did indeed update the /admin/network IP addresses. I also accessed the my.kiwisdr.com page and got back the normal page for "KiwiSDRs found on your local network". I have no…

tustinfarm I switched my ISP to Starlink which also uses the CG-NAT model. My Kiwi and web server lost public internet access as the result. I set Tailscale up on a Linux Mint machine connected to Starlink to learn more. I followed their instruc…

JKS Well DRAT!!! I must admit my mistake of not updating my test script to point to the version I installed on 10/15. I was still executing the 10/10 version on all the tests I run on Sunday and Monday, I corrected the script, and in the couple tes…

JKS Again, thank you for taking your time and spending some of it on KiwiClient/Recorder (KCR") I grabbed the new version from github, and reinstalled following the steps in the readme.me file. Problem 1. I run Linux Mint 20.3 which when I…
-
Ken, I'll try a shot at a simple explanation. Kiwirecorder is a component of the larger Kiwiclient package. I use the terms component and package loosely to help convey a mental image here. You download the Kiwiclient package from github. (Search …
-
JKS, I have an update which is good news, but maybe bad news. I did a power cycle on the Kiwi, and I am writing 6000 sps again. The bad side of that is what ever caused the problem likely went into the bit bucket. A few more runs continued making…
-
JKS, Yes, I follow the threads fairly closely, and I did follow that one. I just checked the Kiwi and I currently am tracking 11, good 7, and have 365.7k fixes. My GPS antenna is blocked to the South a little, but these are the kind of numbers th…
-
WA2ZKD Sox and several other external applications were discussed back in 2019. Yes I agree, Sox is an option. The -r option was added to Kiwirecorder back then. That provided a simple, no extra step process. My point is for the last 4 years Kiwire…

JKS, Thank you for the explanation. I stopped the wspr autorun I had set up even though the KIWI had updated to v1.600. The backup completed successfully. Mike N8OOU.
-
What condition is an sd card in, that was made with the Debian 8 / Kiwisdr backup command? Can it be restored and the KIwi caught up from there. I tried to make a backup tonight and at 25% complete got the disconnect error. My last backup was 1.562…
-
So how did this end up? Have you guys got it working yet? I have Starlink too and would make my Kiwi public if I could get it working on Starlink. I could use some guidance or how to? Thanks Mike

I used the wspr extension on my kiwi last night on 22m and it decoded and uploaded to wspernet.org as expected. Today I configured the kiwi to autorun wspr, and I see in the log that I am decoding on 22m, but not uploading to wsprnet.org. N8OOU is …

I have conducted similar tests using my KiwiSdr with the supplied GPS puck. I came up with a method using Argo, when I participated in the ARRL FMT a couple years ago. I got good results and a high ranking in the test. The audio wave files could be …
-
Yes, It works as described. Mike.

Upon further investigation I find the following. I made a kiwi sdcard backup on Feb 7,2022. The dx.json file on that backup was dated Nov,2021. I performed a "diff" between it and the current dx.json file and found that the Nov, 2021 vers…
-
dl7awl, OK, good suggestions that I didn't do before writing. So I first tried using the Chromium browser with out any changes to the Kiwi. I went back to Firefox and did the clear's. I even deleted the Dx Label, set the kiwi back to the Frequency…
-
On my Kiwi, I have the admin/config daily restart set to "no". After reading the last post I looked closer at the time displayed on the main page and saw that it was still set to CDT, and an hour off. I did a KiwiSDR Server Restart which …

JKS,All This thread is super informative and helpful. I hope you will organize the graphics and supportive text here and add this to the official documentation stack for the Kiwi. While I have a fairly good update rate on my Kiwi, I now understand…
