  • This is why we can't have nice things

    rx.kiwisdr.com (aka kiwisdr.com/public) is now subject to a simple click/tap captcha to help evade recent DDoS attacks on kiwisdr.com.

    Apologies, but this is the sorry state of the world we live in..

  • Wideband IQ streaming mode for local processing? [better late than never!]

    As mentioned in that post, I quickly implemented the simplest, dirtiest server that followed the minimum SpyServer protocol just to get SDR++ to work (barely). My goal was to see if this concept was even possible. SDR++ was the fastest route to that goal.

    I don't know anything about soapy or ka9q-radio or how difficult it might be to write a driver for them.

    More importantly, this work was paused until other "pieces of tech" become available to make sending a more significant amount of spectrum possible. Like MHz instead of hundreds of kHz. That work is still ongoing..

  • ALE Scan option out of function from now [fixed in v1.810]

    Thanks! I forgot that the URL scan list is also entered as the first entry in the local menu.

  • v1.809

    From the CHANGE_LOG file:

    v1.809 April 5, 2025

      The output from my.kiwisdr.com has been expanded to include additional information:

        Proxy links in addition to local IP links if proxy mode is setup and running.

        Connection type & status (i.e. settings on admin page "connect" tab).

        Kiwi and Debian software versions.

        Kiwi product model and Beagle type.

        The Debian hostname is shown after the serial number if it has been customized from the

          default "kiwisdr". Useful if you have multiple Kiwi on your network and you want to

          distinguish them by name instead of solely by serial number.

       

      Admin network tab has new field "Debian hostname" to complement the my.kiwisdr.com change above.

        This changes the actual Linux hostname and is not just a Kiwi configuration parameter.


      DX label fixes (desktop):

        When an extension is open, and you click on a dx label specified to open the same named

        extension, the extension won't get closed and re-opened. Instead, any new extension

        parameters contained in the dx label are sent directly to the open extension for

        further processing. Example: clicking on a different LF time station causes the

        timecode extension to change its decoding setup.

           

        Label only turns magenta (indicting extension will be opened on click) when mousing over

        label _without_ a modifier key pressed (shift etc). For example shift-clicking a label

        opens the label edit panel. So it doesn't make sense to be turning the label magenta

        because an extension isn't going to be opened when you click it.

           

        The DX help panel is opened if the cursor is in the label area and "h" or "?" pressed.

         

        The stored DX database can now have a custom name, 15 chars max. (thanks Mauno WRTH)

        Change the first line of the dx.json file from:

          {"dx":[

        to:

          {"my-custom-name":[

        If this is of interest you presumably already have a custom dx.json file you're loading

        via the admin DX tab "import JSON" button. If not, just use the "export JSON" button

        to download a copy of dx.json and use a text editor to make your changes.

        The custom name will appear in all the usual places: The left end of the frequency

        scale, the various database selection menus, etc.

       

      When frequency scale offset is in use (i.e. using a downconverter) fixed broken behavior of:

        "VFO A/B" button. (thanks F5AFY)

        "Zoom-to-band" button.

        "--- +++" buttons when frequency scale offset was not a multiple of 1 kHz.

       

      S-meter URL query: Allow optional mode e.g. my_kiwi:8073/s-meter?14200usb (thanks F5AFY)

      Prevent Beagle LED control conflict when admin backup function running. (thanks F5AFY)

      Save/restore waterfall timestamp parameters in browser storage. (thanks nitroengine)

       

      Removed debugging print causing lots of "AJAX_STATUS ..." messages in admin log when

        wsprdaemon or similar application are in use. (thanks DL4ZBE)

         

      Admin local blacklist now disallows entry of subnets which would otherwise exclude local

        network addresses or the loopback IP address. (thanks G2YT)

       

      When the "device preset" menu of the "Mouse wheel / trackpad setup" section of the user tab

        is set to anything except "custom" the three fields below are disabled for input.

        Although they still show what the preset values are. (thanks ZL2P)

  • Waterfall timestamp setting saved in cookies or browser storage [fixed in v1.809]

    Fixed in v1.809. The timestamp menu setting, including any custom value, and URL/local menu setting will be saved in browser storage.

    Also, the complete list of URL parameters is here: http://kiwisdr.com/info/#id-user-tune
