        CW (morse) decoder extension in KiwiSDR [added in v1.224]

        TDoA mapsLike the first suggestion and I almost implemented the second on this last update.
 I think I need to loosen up the criteria for "GPS is okay" so you don't have as much problem with the third issue. Same for "all channels in use".
 The fourth issue of overlapping/obscured markers is definitely a problem. I like your idea of additional highlighting of the likely position marker.
 And I agree about the button names..

        TDoA miniature waterfallInteresting idea. Remember that you can always double-click on the sampling station marker (blue) to open a regular Kiwi connection window in a new tab/window for monitoring. But having a little "snapshot" button on each line of the sampling station list that shows a short waterfall is a neat idea.
 I'll look into it.

        automatic control of input attenuator.This has been discussed at length before, but I'll summarize.
 The current FPGA logic behind the OV indicator is as pessimistic as it could be and almost certainly wrong. Right now if one single sample overflows the ADC the OV indicator will get lit and persist long enough to be seen. That doesn't really indicate a substantial overload condition that will lead to increased IMD products seen in the waterfall etc. The logic really needs to be a threshold/averaging function of some sort.
 The +20 dB amplifier / matching buffer ahead of the ADC is a fixed gain block. So yes, you'd have to have new OV logic trigger a GPIO pin and control an external attenuator (with appropriate hysteresis so it isn't pumping on and off all the time).
