    v1.805 March 9, 2025

      Mobile improvements:

        Keyboards shortcuts work again, e.g. a Bluetooth keyboard connected to iPad. (thanks DL3LED)

        Popup keyboard dismissed properly after "return" key pressed (e.g. on "ident" fields)

        Disabled input field auto complete, auto correct, auto capitalize.

       

      Antenna switch:

        Buttons now turn green for Kmtronic-2ch switch. (thanks Fernando)

        Multiuser/mixing denial notification working again. (Thanks Steffen)


      CW Skimmer extension: New. But consider it experimental as there are a number of problems.

      SSTV extension: Fixed MP mode height issue. (thanks VK3HK, VK3KHZ)

      DX label filter panel: Reset button now clears ident & notes fields.

      Update to satellite table to reflect recent Galileo changes. (thanks F4FPR)

  • Extension of the antenna switch for direct execution of shell scripts on the Kiwi

    No, it's not correct. I've fixed it now for the next release. Thanks

  • v1.804

    From the CHANGE_LOG file:

    v1.804 February 21, 2025

      Antenna switch:

        Fixed curl command processing. Use a plus sign ("+") to indicate a space in your curl URL.

                E.g. "http://192.168.1.2?cmd=ant+1" runs curl with a URL argument of

                "http://192.168.1.2?cmd=ant 1". A space is used as before to separate the arguments for

                multiple commands. E.g. "http://192.168.1.2?cmd=ant+1 http://192.168.1.3?tune=144MHz".

          (thanks Steffen)

        Added a field for specifying a curl command to run when the antenna is switched to ground

          (because the "Ground antennas when no users connected" option is enabled).

        Added backend for Kmtronic 2-channel device [but needs testing]. (thanks Fernando)

       

      TDoA:

        Added URL parameter to populate sampling station list with custom/private entries

          (i.e. sampling hosts that are not on the map). See TDoA help panel.

       

      Fixed admin backup tab function broken by the admin password reset change.

      Disabling user connections (admin control tab) now also stops autoruns.

  • Continuous Freezing Issues with KiwiSDR via Proxy: Troubleshooting Tips

    I should also mention in connection with the voltage drop post above. I knew about the problem many years ago. One day I made up some short cables out of some random "speaker wire" I had where it wasn't immediately obvious what the wire gauge was. I was astonished when the brownout problem happened when running the admin sd card backup function! (it is known that sd card writes take a lot of additional current).

    I didn't believe it until I put a scope on the power connector at the Kiwi set to trigger at lower than 4.8V... And it triggered! lol

    I measured the wire gauge and it was 24 AWG or something. I used one of those online voltage drop calculators and it pretty much confirmed the problem for the length of wire I was using (given a guess at the current spike amount -- with some effort I could have measured that too).
