Whatever number of channels you have set to be reserved will remain unused until you on your local network accesses them, or someone accesses one via a password. I gathered this from the text on the Admin interface and from some past tests. You'll h…
-
Unless your user used the URL my_kiwi:8073/?pwd=password to request a password protected channel, the Kiwi will load first on an open non-password protected channel. Perhaps a channel opened up just as he entered the password incorrectly. There are…

If you want to extend the LEDs from the Ethernet jack to the front panel of your box, what if you use fiber optic elements?

I've chatted with the owner of another Kiwi through his Kiwi before using the name callsign box. I know there are a few guys who have configured chat boxes on their Kiwis. I believe most of them use this: https://www.chatango.com/ Pretty straightfo…

It's fun to catch Radio Havana Cuba transmitting on the frequencies normally used with their numbers stations. Likely due to error since it originates from the same transmitter site.
-
Check your filter settings under the Audio tab, make sure they're not triggered on when you don't intend them to be. Also check the squelch, AGC, volume slider, etc. Every once in a great while, I'll come across a Kiwi that is muted (no audio, but p…

OpenWebRX+ has a long ways to go before it's as user friendly and as feature packed as the Kiwi's heavily modified version of OpenWebRX. OpenWebRX+ is a good option for those who want to set up a remote SDR that can be set to cover frequencies beyon…

You cannot get the Kiwi to show up on the public Kiwi map and list? You need to be updated to a rather recent version, at least 1.690 (if I recall correctly), in order for it to be listed on those sources. That was due to an abuse attack of public K…

They're distorted badly here (EN35ka) too.

Non-autorun WSPR is still reporting (uploading spots) fine here. I have it going on 20m at this moment. Back when it didn't report (would still decode), it wouldn't report at all. It wasn't intermittent, it just simply didn't report a single decode…
-
I'd like to see the ability to tune via mouse wheel. Perhaps allow it to be toggled from the right-click menu, so those who are used to it being used for zooming can use it as such. There are many guys who are used to using a mouse wheel with other …

If nobody comes forward, let me know. I could attempt to "break" the WSPR extension again by reflashing the Kiwi with my most recent backup of v1.682.
-
The non-autorun extension is still reporting on mine. Autorun also still reports. However, it still doesn't appear to be working on Bikedork (Minneapolis, MN, also running v1.688). The only thing I did to mine was to update it from v1.686 to v1.688,…
-
I was just going to set an Admin password and send you a link, but decided to force an update to v1.688 first. Guess what? Now the WSPR extension is reporting to wsprnet.org! I'll play around with it and see if it gives any trouble. I let the non-au…
-
The non-autorun extension still doesn't report here. Decodes, but doesn't report. Autorun works fine. Currently running v1.686. I recall you changed something between having the extension report on the server side vs the client side as mentioned her…

@Yogicat Have a look here: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/2444/christmas-kiwi/p1. The logo doesn't get replaced, just overlaid with another image. In my case as shown above, with a pair of Sony headphones. In the past, I've also s…
-
I don't mind the current Kiwi logo. It has brand recognition now. I did stick a pair of Sony studio cans on the Kiwi on mine...just because, why not... https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/297/EA0SIWPTLF5T.jpg

Bikedork (located in Minneapolis, MN, running v1.680 in 4 channel mode) also isn't reporting to the WSPR database using the extension.
-
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. As you may remember, the extension did work here: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/3196/plenty-of-wspr-decodes-no-uploads-upload-spots-is-selected#latest It's not too important. I don't monitor W…
-
As a test, I've been running the autorun on 20m and the extension on 30m at the same time for the past hour or so. Only the autorun on 20m is uploading spots to wsprnet.org.
-
Sure enough, I just switched my Kiwi to 4 channel "classic" mode and the signal levels are back to normal. So, it appears to only affect 3 channel mode.
-
Thanks for those tests G4DYA. That's exactly what I'm seeing here. I may have failed to mention it before (although it does show it in the stats tab), but I am running 3 channel mode (have been since I set it up several years ago). It actually cross…

@jks I could make a .dmg disk image of my v1.601 flasher and upload it to a Google Drive and send it to you if you want to look at it closer there and experiment. Assuming a .dmg image would preserve the proper structure of the flasher.
-
I let it build from v1.601 to v1.677 earlier instead of reflashing it to v1.676 from the SD card. The noise floor with the antenna removed appears to be the same between v1.601 and v1.677. v1.601 (I forgot to flip to the stats tab, but you can tell…
-
Thanks for the AMW mode. I have it set to open up full to ±10.125kHz. It also sounds like a 10kHz notch or LPF was implemented as I don't hear the 10kHz hets anymore when opened all the way up to ±10.125kHz.
-
It must be something specific to mine. I've gone back and forth from v1.601 and the current version several times and I get the same results each time. Normal signal levels on v1.601, and about 8 dBm lower with v1.676 (and v1.677), both with WF and …
-
I'll give that a try and see. As of right now, I can set the S-meter calibration to -4dB and get the signals about where I expect them to be. It doesn't sound like anyone else has to do that though, so it would nice to get to the bottom of it. Ther…
-
Okay, I think I found a clue. Here is the signal generator on v1.601. -50dB attenuation, offset attenuation by waterfall cal -13dB, matching the readout on the s-meter. https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/069/1ME6D9WU7GMA.jpg Here is the signal genera…
-
I'll play around with the signal generator when I get a chance, I honestly haven't spent a lot of time with signal generator extension so I'll need to figure out how to use it. The one thing that stood out was that it was overloading (images beginni…
-
I see. I haven't really checked for those reports in the log before. Yeah, not seeing any upload messages in the log here. You can tell when the decodes are being uploaded when "wsprnet.org" flashes in the lower left hand corner of the win…
