v1.674

  Hi John, I tested my ms_s7_web switch under v1.673 and now v1.674 but couldn't get it to work.

  I noted the new configuration possibility under 'Extensions' in the Admin interface,

  filled in the IP address of the switch and ticked some boxes - but nothing happens.

  Do I need to configure anything (backend etc.) through the console?

  No antenna can be selected or deselected - mixing ant 1,3+7 occurs at random

  Some screenshots attached.

  73,

  Kai

  I don't know why it isn't working for you, but just a few observations. For the NC antennas (presumably means 'Not Connected') just omit any description and the buttons won't display, leaving just the actual antennas. Having 5 antennas with the same descriptor could cause issues. Why have you got the option of 'High side injection' ticked for Antenna 1? That is for frequency converters.

  Hi Kai,

  I was not able to test with an actual ms-s7, so it's possible there's a bug in the backend script changes I had to make. Is it possible for me to connect as admin to your Kiwi? It would have to be Internet accessible. We can place it on the proxy service if necessary.

  Please email details to support@kiwisdr.com

  Thank you

  Hi Barney, thanks for leaving a comment.

  I deleted all the 'nc' entries and deselected 'high side injection'

  but with no effect - ant 1,3+7 are still displayed as mixed.

  I sent John a mail.

  same problem here with kmtronics switch, no switching possible.

  @on4iq It would be interesting to know if using the antenna switch scripts directly works or not.

  Something like:

  cda (change to dir /root/Beagle_SDR_GPS/pkgs/ant_switch)

  abi (alias for "./ant-switch-frontend bi" printing the backend information)

  as (get antenna status)

  a1 (switch to antenna 1)

  as

  Hi ON4IQ,

  also for my ms-s7, i can access it directly via the browser.

  Let's see what evolves...

  via webbrowser from PC i'm able to switch, but not from the kiwi.

  Looks like kiwi frozen in G status (grounded i presume)

  @on4iq Okay. If possible I would very much like to be able to connect to your Kiwi as admin and see if I can fix the problem. Please email details to support@kiwisdr.com Thank you.
