  • SSTV not working with 3 channel configuration (fixed in v1.822)

    Okay, I see what's wrong. It's because I'm an idiot.

    Will be fixed in the next release..

    Also, the backslash '\' key toggles which label database is being displayed. The name of which is shown in small white lettering in the top left corner of the frequency scale. Type 'h' to see a list of all shortcus keys.

  • QiwiQ a KiwiSDR client for Android: looking for feedback, testers and comments

    @XPloRR Sorry, traveling on vacation. Squelch should work on NBFM/NNFM. I didn't write the squelch code so I can't give exact answers. But the squelch level value seems to change depending on the passband width. So a squelch-close value required for NBFM won't quite be the same as for NNFM. ANd similarly for the non-FM modes. But it should work (it does work if you try using the Kiwi UI).

    The EXT socket you used to open DRM can be used to open any of the extensions. You just change ext_switch_to_client=X where X is the name of the extension as it appears in the extension menu on the Kiwi UI. As mentioned before, you can very easily use the browser debug window "network" tab to see exactly what socket command are being sent by the Kiwi Javascript client code -- commands that you will have to send yourself. This is much easier than reading the code to see what it's doing. Select the EXT socket and HTTP response tab.

    A lot extensions can run without any parameters needing to be set. E.g. the cw_decoder, cw_skimmer and FT8 extensions because their default parameters will just work. All you have to do is somehow display their decoding output. In the case of the cw decoders that means processing the cw_chars=... message. And ignoring messages like cw_plot and bar_pct if test mode is active. For FT8 just process the chars=... message.

    Send a close or stop and blur messages when done (varies by extension for historical reasons).

    You can use the test mode message to debug with to get a strong pre-recorded CW signal that will decode 100%. Similarly for FT8 mode. No tuning to an active CW/FT8 frequency required.

    You are correct that on a mobile client there is no real use for an IQ mode button. However the SAM, SAU, SAL, SAS and QAM modes should be considered. Perhaps just SAM since the others are less frequently used. There is a real advantage to using synchronous AM decoding for weak AM signals.

    Just my opinion, but I think using red to outline active buttons has too little contrast. Maybe something like yellow would be better?
