  • Private use of a KiwiSDR receiver in France

    Well, that's why I said "probably".

    The day any of this nonsense starts to impact me is the day I shut everything down.

  • Reflashing BBB with Kiwi-1 with image v1.682 [fixed]

    jksjks

    Believe it or not, this was probably a power supply problem. We've seen over the years that writing SD cards requires a substantial amount of extra peak current. So a power supply that operates a Beagle + Kiwi board normally may not also be able to power an SD write operation on top of that.

    This explains why running a Beagle + SD write alone (without the Kiwi board) worked. The current saved from not having the Kiwi board was enough to handle the SD write peak currents.

    I have updated the operating guide instructions to mention this issue.

    Where's Rodney Dangerfield when we really need him?

  • v1.683

    jksjks

    From the CHANGE_LOG file:

    v1.683 May 30, 2024

      Antenna switch: Fixed problems with Arduino Netshield backend script. (thanks N8OOU)


      CAT interface: Removed newline characters (\r\n) from end of each transmitted CAT string

      because it was reported to cause problems with some CAT software. (thanks DF6DBF)

       

      DX community database: UNID FSK signal at 61.84 is Inskip GBR. (thanks HB9TMC)


      Added entries to satellite table for Galileo gsat0227 and gsat0225 launched 2024-04-28 and

      currently under commissioning. (thanks F4FPR)


      We have now formally purchased a license to use the Kiwi logo from Hayes Roberts at

      bluebison.net. Previously we had an informal agreement with Hayes where he allowed us to use

      the logo provided we always included the domain text "bluebison.net" wherever the logo was used.

      By purchasing a licence we can now remove the text and make uses of the logo look a bit cleaner.

      Big thanks to Hayes for giving the KiwiSDR its logo identity recognized by SDR enthusiasts

      around the world.

  • stupid gps question/idea [good idea actually: 10 MHz ref output]

    jksjks

    The answer to your (very good) question is "no" for Kiwi-2. But definitely "yes" for future products.

    I have an old hp z3801a and I don't run it either due to the power consumption, lol. On the other hand, double ovens are a wonderful invention.
