I have configured several Kiwis for wifi access by attaching an inexpensive router configured as a Wifi client to the ethernet port of the Kiwi. This $25 TP Link has worked well for me:

In principle one could enable the internal BB Wifi or attach a USB wifi adapter, but I am reluctant to fiddle with the Kiwi's OS.

wsprdaemon users may not be aware that WD logs a count of new overload events which occur in each 2 minute WSPR cycle. Execute the command "wd-overloads" from the terminal command line to get a dump of those log lines and then filter the …
-
Many of the wsprdaemon sites are starting to suffer from overloads, so I will definitely add support for an attenuator if the Kiwi status page would report the max ADC values since the last read of the status page

I think John is spot on. In my experience,. once Debian/Ubuntu distros self-assign an IIP address to an interface, they never run DHCP to try to get a different address. Even cycling its interface from the ethernet switch doesn't seem to stimulate…

Frank's Kiwi is at address 192.168.1.154 but it requires admin access from a browser at 192.168.1.221. So it appears the Kiwi thinks it admin LAN is not in 192.168.1.0/24. Similarly, I can't ssh to his kiwi because no password is set and I don't kn…

Look at http://wspr.rocks/ for your spots and many other insights.

Are you sure the RF levels are all the same? Switch the feeds between the the Kiwis to see if the OVs follow the RF cables. I adjust the 5 V PSU while measuring the 5V on the USB jack of the BBG. The AI draws much more power, so there will be a lo…

Jim WA2ZKD just pointed me to this discussion. I was not aware of --resample and will add it and install libresample in the next WD build

While the frequency accuracy and stability of of a GPS-aided Kiwi is excellent, I wonder if the modest phase noise specification of the Kiwi's internal oscillator might impair CW SNR when there are two CW signals close in frequency.
-
The very good news is that the Kiwi is exceptionally accurate and stable when the corrections are being applied. For example, on 20M Tom WA2TP's GPS-aided Kiwi_1 is within 0.01 hertz of his Kiwi_7 which is fed by a Bodnar GPSDO. We will be upgrad…

Thanks John. I am in the process of updating all my Kiwis and have encouraged WD users to experiment with their use and report back results.
-
Excellent. It would be ideal if the cadence of clock updates were configurable: e.g. 1) update at every even two minutes if you are decoding only WSPR-2 and FST4W-120 2) update every 30 minutes if you are also decoding FST4W-300/900/1800 Thanks
-
My concern is not with the Linux date/time, but with additional spectral spreading Glen describes which would be introduced if clock corrections are being introduced in the middle of a WSPR (or more importantly FST4W-300/900/1800) packet reception. …

Thank you. I have a lot of beta site Kiwis waiting to test it.

I have some T1-1s I can share

I have initiated a build of 523 on all 5 of the KFS servers
-
I have just started to upgrade all 5 of the KFS Kiwis from 519 to 522 The KFS site is connected to the Internet by a microwave link which is heavily used by WebSDR listeners as well as by one of the wsprdaeon.org backup servers. I am working both t…

Hi John, I have been busy busy with WD 3.0 that I have barely looked at the 5 Kiwis at KFS: :8074/5/6 and 8083. I have just instructed all of them to update to the latest Kiwi code, but I'll wait to hear from others if they are still experiencing pr…
-
@rz3dvp thanks for the code. If it can run quickly, think I can avoid disturbing wsprdaemon wav file recordings by executing this script in the 10 seconds before minute 0 of each hour, a time when no WSPSR or FST4W packets should be transmitted.
-
You are correct and my test which stimulated this thread was flawed. These features work together just as I had hoped.
-
The recent actions of your government with the reported approval of a majority of your fellow citizens give me every reason to suspect malicious intent for any activities coming from Russia. Unfortunately I include your comments in that category.
-
I run three of the premier listening sites in the Pacific: KPH, KFS and AI6VN/KH6 and I have begun to notice Russian and Chinese IP addresses using them to monitor civil and military aviation channels. This blacklist facility has not been enough to…

My theory is that WD is detecting many overload events being reported by kiwirecorder and WD restarts the kiwirecorder to stop the overload log file from growing so large that it fills the file system. In WD 3.0 I will use the newly introduced adc_o…

Hi Simon, Your 0-30 Spectrum is filled with a strong 11 KHz picket fence of switching power supply noise which is most likely introduced by ground loops in the wires connected to your Kiwi. I would work on eliminating that RFI before sharing your si…

That worked. Thanks

You will find the 'External ADC clock?" slider control on the bottom left of the Kiwi's Admin->Config page.

Thank you John. That adc_ov line in /status is very helpful.

Jim, If you reach spotters running pre- 2.10k versions of wsprdaemon, encourage them to upgrade to that version and also to watch for WD 3.0 where I have corrected some upload minor problems: 1) WD 2.x offers wsprnet.org type 2 spots with '<...…

He has been running wsprdaemon V 2.10k for some time
