Demo of new user interface [now available in v1.154]
Here is a demo of a new user interface under development. There is no antenna connected at present. http://kiwisdr.jks.com:8073/
Changes:
- New "option tab" bar that categorizes controls and status information.
- Frequency history next/prev buttons. Up/down arrows to right of frequency entry field. Keyboard users: press return key when desired frequency appears. If no selection with return key is made within 3 seconds frequency field will return to current frequency. Mobile device users: this feature is not useable at the moment.
- Added numeric value (in dBm) to S-meter.
- Add URL parameter wf={0, off, 1, 1hz, s, slow, m, med, f, fast}. E.g. kiwisdr.local:8073/?wf=1hz
- Removed less buffering and compression buttons until working.
- New "option tab" bar that categorizes controls and status information.

Save money on another Kiwi or tell a friend [KiwiSDR sometimes on drop.com for $100 off MSRP]
December 14/15: Massdrop is active again for 7 days. US$230 for a KiwiSDR kit if they get 3 orders. Limited to 6 units total. Best deal out there! -
Wideband pulsing noise & Noise Blanker absence: I'm in trouble! [NB added in v1.152]
Okay. v1.153 is out with a threshold slider (get it now by rebooting). @Markone your Kiwi is already updated. Here is a screenshot with three different settings. The waterfall shows from bottom to top: no NB, NB 100 usec 50% thresh, 1000 usec 65% thresh. The last two sound the same but note how the waterfall is cleaned up a bit more.[re-uploaded image below] -

I found that on some weaker sources increasing the gate time to 1 msec (1000 usec on the slider) improved the noise reduction.@sv1btl I was going to add a threshold slider but ran out of time before yesterday's update deadline.
