rx.kiwisdr.com (kiwisdr.com/public) list changes
I didn't realize it until just now, but the "band" menu on the rx.kiwisdr.com page (aka kiwisdr.com/public) was broken.
That menu has two entries: "all" (the default) which shows all Kiwis. And "non-HF" which only shows Kiwis using a downconverter giving frequency coverage above 30 MHz.
Anyway, it's fixed now. There are currently 5 Kiwis above 30 MHz: two Airband, a 6m, 2m and 10 GHz.
Comments
By request: the list is now sorted in 0-30 MHz SNR order.
There is a new menu to select the alternate 1.8-30 MHz (HF) order.
Hello. I can't find any information, but I remember for sure that KiwiSDRs with older versions of the software are no longer displayed on the public map.
@jks , John, is it enough for KiwiSDR to send the "correct" version of the software to the server during registration, or do some other conditions need to be met?
A Kiwi must be running v1.690 or later to be listed. This is because there had to be a non-backward compatible change to the proxy service. And I wanted to encourage as many people as possible to update. Not listing Kiwi's running old software was one way of doing that.
This change was made 2 July 2024 according to my notes.
Thanks for the answer! Yes, I understand that the old versions of KiwiSDR software have bugs and are not safe. But I (like many other users) use non-original versions of KiwiSDR. And unfortunately, the release of new software for these clones has been discontinued.
