v1.823, 824
From the CHANGE_LOG file:
v1.823 November 16, 2025
DX label frequency list menus:
When click-holding on a DX label a menu will now appear if there are multiple labels that
have the same label text. The menu allows the frequencies of these multiple labels to be
selected directly. This works for all the label databases: stored, EiBi and community.
Example: Click-hold on the 10 MHz WWVH/WWV label and a menu with all the WWV frequencies
(2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 MHz) appears. A menu entry "open ext" will be shown if a label has an
associated extension. If a label only has a single frequency (e.g. WWVB, DCF77) click-holding
will immediately open the extension (if any). Type 'h' with the cursor in the label area for
a complete description.
Updated to EiBi-B25 database. (thanks MeolsKopite)
Proxy service: The proxy service client (frpc) is now managed in its own process such that it
will better respond to timeout / restarts when the Kiwi restarts faster then the network router.
For example after a power failure.
When the current frequency is exactly between adjacent or overlapping bands the frequency step
buttons now make more sense. Example: Current frequency is 7300 kHz when in ITU R2 (Americas)
mode where the 40m amateur band ends, and the 41m broadcast band begins, at 7300.
Previously the leftmost "-" step button (or 'alt-j' shortcut key) would step down -5 kHz into
the amateur band instead of -1 kHz as it should. (thanks Steffen)
Admin GPS tab:
Checkbox "Acquire if Kiwi busy?" now defaults to checked (true) for a new Kiwi run for the
first time. This change will not disturb any change to the setting you may have made using
the admin interface. (thanks NU6F)
Added SBAS satellites for development purposes. No SBAS corrections are currently done.
TDoA: Changed timeout value so message "Timeout: excessive runtime" will appear instead of the
more obscure "Protocol timeout" when the TDoA algorithm runs too long.
Added IP address to the "denied connection" log messages triggered by bots. (thanks F5LFE)

EibiSpace B25 Stored DX Labels CSV file
Well, no.
First, this file is filled with dozens of illegal UTF-8 sequences. You can see the decoding failures in the browser's javascript console. They are mostly of the form e1 byte1 byte2, where the trailing two bytes are not valid UTF-8 continuation bytes beginning with the high-order bits 11. This is a symptom of improperly downloading files from eibispace.de. I had to learn this the hard way many years ago. You can't download files from there with the browser download function. You have to use wget plus some additional magic.
Second, I don't understand why you'd want to do this. We already have an integrated EiBi database. Yes, it's A25. I've been waiting for B25 to be released. I don't think this csv file is the official B25 release as eibispace.de only shows a 27 Sept update to A25 as being current.
The integrated EiBi database has a special filtering control panel that you don't get by uploading EiBi entries into the stored database. You lose that functionality which is important given that there are so many overlapping labels (more than 10 thousand).
But whatever I suppose..

Help needed: DSP, SSB, Hilbert transforms, Octave language
