It is commercial madness for the XXX guys to keep getting free source code for all your ongoing software improvements. Dealing with this is critical for your survival.

As I have mentioned previously, I would like to see you get (new Kiwi feature) working real soon now and freeze the source code on GitHub. Plenty of others do this and the flack is minimal (jks: emphasis mine). In fact, the majority of existing Kiwi owners will support this move, particularly when they learn that your future depends on it. 

This is a matter of urgency as every day they are selling more product that is riding on your code. They are quite a bit behind at the moment. For example, I can see that there is no (recent Kiwi feature).

Every sale they make could have been a Kiwisdr sale. They have sold XXX in the last two weeks that I can see on (web retailers). If you don’t deal with this you are just working for them.

You can slow their sales by announcing that the source code is frozen and the reason why, plus the fact that their radios talk to servers in China.

Stop being nice!

v1.700 September 17, 2024

  User interface:

    Adjusting the passband edges should now work in most cases on mobile devices.

    If it doesn't remember that there are other ways to adjust the passband including sliders

    on the audio tab.

    When adjusting the passband edges if the cursor wanders above or below the frequency scale

    adjustment will continue to work. However the tooltip displaying the passband numeric

    values continues to only appear when the cursor is positioned over the passband edge.

    Remember that you can only adjust the edges when zoomed in far enough that the passband

    color is green instead of yellow.

    On narrow screen devices top bar now scrolls horizontally so all items can be accessed.

    Mobile devices: sliding the passband to the screen edges causes the frequency scale to pan.

    FT8/WSPR:

      Added QO-100 satellite frequencies to extension and autorun menus.

      Added FT8/WSPR V/UHF DX label entries to community database.

    When the frequency offset is setup for operation with a greater than 1 GHz downconverter

    the frequency entry box overflows due to the extra digit(s) displayed. There wasn't really

    a good solution for this. Except that now if the cursor starts out inside the box the

    keyboard left/right arrow keys will scroll left/right across the digits. As opposed to

    tuning the current frequency as the left/right arrow keys normally do.

    ALE extension:

      Added "UN MINURSO" to milcom frequency list. (thanks M0HGK)

      Added "MOROCCAN AF/Civil/Police/Navy" services to milcom frequency list. (thanks Mark W)

  Admin interface:

    The top bar (tab selection) and any status/error messages are now fixed at the top of the

    page and no longer participate in any scrolling. This eliminates, for example, the page

    "jumping back" to the top when you change a setting that requires a restart.

    Config tab:

      New menu "Frequency scale presets" has some pre-defined values that automatically puts

      the correct entry in the "Frequency scale offset" field. For example, the menu entry

      "144 => 28 (2m)" puts the value 116000 in the offset field which would map 144-148 MHz

      to 28-32 MHz (assuming 32 MHz mode selected). We can add to this menu as necessary.

    Network tab:

      Better user interface behavior during "DHCP/static" and "Auto add NAT" changes.

    Extensions tab:

      WSPR option "Log spot debug info?" now produces a correct debug message in the log.

      For example, WSPR UPLOAD: wsprnet.org said: "1 out of 1 spot(s) added"
