  • Preset HPF setting [fixed in v1.454]

    jksjks

    v1.453,454 May 14, 2021

      Added default passband adjustment to admin page, config tab.

        As each passband parameter field is changed (low, high, center, width) the other

          fields will be automatically adjusted. So if you know you want a USB filter

          with a low frequency of 300 Hz that is 3300 Hz wide just enter those two fields

          and the high and width values will be derived. An error message will appear if

          you attempt to define an invalid passband.

        The former "CW offset" field has been removed. To set your desired CW offset

          simply set the default passband center frequency of the CW/CWN mode passbands

          to the offset value. E.g. If you want to hear a 1000 Hz tone in the CW modes

          set the passbands to have a 1000 HZ center.

        After the passband is changed on the admin page, existing user connections will have

          to reload the page to get the new passband values.

  • KiwiSDR production status and availability

    jksjks

    Seeed has been forced to raise Kiwi prices on their website by 15% due to the ongoing semiconductor supply issues.

    But there are still plenty of units at old the old prices from distributors. So do some shopping around. Remember that Mouser offers free international shipping to many locations for orders over $50. And be careful to consider shipping, tariff/import, VAT/GST and other costs which these days is a large fraction of the device cost (and the latest sign of our failure as a society/species -- but I digress).

  • BBAI Cannot connect via web browser after build - A little help needed

    jksjks

    Okay, all should be good now (except for my splitting headache). I'm not 100% sure because it won't let me stay logged in for more than a few seconds (BT bastards). And your router isn't forwarding port 8073 connections to the new local ip address of course.

    Sure enough, the Beagle guys made an incompatible change in how the .dtb file is loaded by Uboot. I'll have to figure out a change to support it.

    I have some plans for this. But it will take some work/time.

  • KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension

    jksjks

    There is a new version of the antenna switch extension available.

    Important installation notes:

    • Let your Kiwi update to v1.449 first.
    • Use my repo, not Kari's, until he merges my changes (e.g. via "gclone" command below).
    • Install can be accomplished from the Kiwi admin page "console tab".


    Get a Linux shell either using the admin page console tab or ssh/PuTTY directly into your Kiwi. Type:

    cd [changes to "/root" directory]

    mv KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension K.old [set old copy aside]

    gclone KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension [gets new version from github.com]

    cd KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension

    bash ./ant-switch-extension-installer

    [pick your switch device from list or "beagle-gpio" if just experimenting]

    [if running from console tab: you'll see a message to that effect]

    [wait a few minutes while build messages scroll by]

    [if running from console tab: it will ask that you restart via the button on the admin control tab]


    New features and fixes:

    • Can limit access three ways: local connections only (owner/admin effectively), local connections plus users connecting with a password (for Kiwis with split user password access), everyone can access. For the split password case you must add "&p" to the URL as described here: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-user-urlp-prot
    • Support for KMTronic LAN Ethernet IP 8 channels WEB Relay device. https://info.kmtronic.com/kmtronic-lan-ethernet-ip-8-channels-web-relay-board.html
    • Other user connections are notified via a popup when the antenna is changed. The popup closes automatically after 3 seconds. This may need some refining. There has also been the suggestion that an autoscale be performed on an antenna switch if in auto aperture mode.
    • Message is displayed to user if antenna switch parameters have not yet been configured by admin.
    • Installation time is much faster as entire Kiwi software rebuild is no longer done.
