Audio-underruns when using kiwisdr.local on WIndows 10 Pro - a solution
Yes, I had another customer report this same situation a few days ago. I find it completely impossible to understand why this would make any difference to the quality of the connection.No, scratch that. It's Windows. It's Microsoft. I should completely expect a nonsensical situation like this. It goes right along with the hundreds of millions of person-hours Microsoft has caused humanity to waste dealing with their incompetence. Just yesterday I upgraded an old laptop to the newest release of Windows 10. The WiFi stopped working. I spent hours trying to figure it out. In the end the answer was that the manufacturer, hp, had used an internal WiFi card whose manufacturer was no longer updating the drivers. But there was no warning from anyone that the update would kill the WiFi. Hp says there is no solution except to buy a different PCIe WiFI card. Can you imagine that kind of response from a manufacturer?Apologies. Someone's morning coffee obviously hasn't taken effect yet. lol

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.

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]
