  • KiwiSDR 2 production status

    jksjks

    We've received another run of boards. Assembly, programming and test are in progress.

    One issue is that a huge quantity of the enclosures we had shipped by cargo container instead of air freight. But due to bad weather the container was delayed. So the finished units won't ship until later this month (June).

  • 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.

  • 8-10dBm drop in signals after update from v1.601 to v1.675 [fixed in v1.679]

    😕 Knowing that, I developed and tested a fix for this problem in about 10 minutes. Fix will be in the next release..

    Christoph has done work with piecing together (relatively) wideband output from the Kiwi to measure ionogram chirps: https://hcab14.blogspot.com
