Stu,
You could setup a cron job on the KiwiSDR with crontab -e , see "man crontab" for directions. Examples of commands that would write to the file of your choice below.

@Tony1951 , I'm sure you removed the SanDisk card after the initial startup? If you didn't, each time the KiwiSDR restarts it will reload from the SanDisk card.

I put these in service on my KiwiSDRs and today the power company had on and off conditions for awhile. I set the time on for a 90 second delay. All the boards came up 90 seconds after the power and were operational. Well worth the time and cost to put in the line.

RNZI was kind to send me a couple of email QSL cards!

@n6gn
Glen, you no doubt have this accounted for, but I'll throw it into the mix. When the power comes back up, do you have a switch to prevent a low power start on the KiwiSDR? If the KiwiSDR startup voltage sags, it boots but doesn't complete the load and doesn't initiate the network. It just sits there until the power is recycled to it. So a mountain top needs a power reset switch to the KiwiSDR and probably a charged capacitor to account for initial current draw if the power supply isn't at full power.

Please disregard if this is accounted for.
