Let DRM extension kick preemptable channels so it can run. (thanks VK6KCH)
SSTV extension: Fixed Robot B/W modes and added R36-BW. (thanks N1NKM)
Fixed "continuous update from GPS" of admin webpage grid/location fields. (thanks JQ6LIA)
TDoA extension: Flag sampling hosts as having low GPS resolution (but not doing this just yet).
Fixed more cases of failing to restart proxy client when proxy configuration changed.

Forgot your admin password? v1.803+ has an admin password reset feature
Okay, I think the new admin password reset scheme is working well. See image below.
The option will appear only if you connect from your local network. Not from an Internet connection (e.g. not from a Kiwi-2 serial number based proxy connection:
2xxxx.proxy.kiwisdr.com/admin
). Usemy.kiwisdr.com
to find the local IP address link to your Kiwi's admin page (e.g.192.168.1.101:8073/admin
).You must also provide the Kiwi's serial number. This should be easy since it's written on the physical hardware (Kiwi-1: written in the white box on the Kiwi PCB, Kiwi-2: written on a label on bottom of case).
As a further security measure the option will only appear for the first 5 minutes after the Kiwi software starts (power-up or software restart).
So the restrictions should guarantee the Kiwi is in your immediate physical control. So no good for your remote Kiwi located 300 km away on a mountain top.
If anyone can think of a flaw in this reasoning please let me know ASAP.
Everything is carefully validated on the server-side. So anyone hacking Javascript on the browser shouldn't be able to exploit the scheme.

v1.804
From the CHANGE_LOG file:
v1.804 February 21, 2025
Antenna switch:
Fixed curl command processing. Use a plus sign ("+") to indicate a space in your curl URL.
E.g. "http://192.168.1.2?cmd=ant+1" runs curl with a URL argument of
"http://192.168.1.2?cmd=ant 1". A space is used as before to separate the arguments for
multiple commands. E.g. "http://192.168.1.2?cmd=ant+1 http://192.168.1.3?tune=144MHz".
(thanks Steffen)
Added a field for specifying a curl command to run when the antenna is switched to ground
(because the "Ground antennas when no users connected" option is enabled).
Added backend for Kmtronic 2-channel device [but needs testing]. (thanks Fernando)
TDoA:
Added URL parameter to populate sampling station list with custom/private entries
(i.e. sampling hosts that are not on the map). See TDoA help panel.
Fixed admin backup tab function broken by the admin password reset change.
Disabling user connections (admin control tab) now also stops autoruns.

Wideband IQ streaming mode for local processing? [better late than never!]
@ok1iak Well, here we are. Over two years later. I had not forgotten about this. For various reasons I decided now was the time to give it a try.
This is an extremely early result. There are all kinds of problems. Currently, all I can get semi-reliably without too many glitches is a wideband output of 240 kHz. I'm pretty sure more can be done with some optimization. There is no CIC filtering in the FPGA yet, so there is aliasing.
To get SDR++ working as quickly as possible on my Mac the easiest thing to do was write a very quick and dirty SpyServer implementation (partial) from the public spec. That's why below it says "SpyServer", "Int16" and "RTL-SDR". But it really is connected to a Kiwi-2 on the special SpyServer port 5555. I have not tried SDR# yet. This Kiwi is on the other side of the world from me. So it is streaming at 240 kHz over the Internet successfully.
You can't make any Kiwi user connections when the Kiwi is configured for wideband mode. But you can make an admin connection. Lots and lots of work to do before this is ready for any sort of release.

KiwiSDR 2 production status
The cases have arrived and David, ZL2BA, has been busy assembling the units.
The store should open in less than a week. Everyone that emailed sales@kiwisdr.nz will receive an email reply when the store opens. It will also be announced here, on Twitter and the various web pages.
Many units will be shipped to ML&S (UK) and WiMo (DE) as well.
Thanks everyone for your ongoing support and patience.

Who you are, where you are and what are your KiWi's ?
Okay, I added a plugin that allows some content to be added to profiles. For now just Location, Callsign and "Additional information". Let me know if you think we should have others. Look at my profile as an example (click "jks" at the top of this post).
The content isn't presented very optimally. It just appears at the top of the user's profile page.
I also re-enabled the "reactions" feature (i.e. adding "helpful", "awesome" to posts like we used to have).

possible feature : TUNING lock
I agree. It should work like a browser. I'll update the bug list. There was something similar on there before.Also already on the list is the idea of having the classic A/B VFO buttons and a "band memory". So when you hop between bands using the select band menu it goes to the last selected frequency in the band instead of the mid-point, which is what it does now.
