  • v1.446/445/444

    From the CHANGE_LOG file. Not a lot new here. Except for days of tedious checking for memory errors (buffer overruns) and memory leaks to rule out a possible cause of the Windows 10 audio problems.

    v1.446 March 28, 2021

      WSPR extension:

        By request: Added 6 & 13 MHz ISM bands (UK balloon-mobile operation).

        Can restart autorun decoders via an admin page button instead of server restart.

       

      Windows 10 audio "popping" problem:

        Looked for memory addressing errors and leaks with the Clang address sanitizer.

        A few minor issues fixed but nothing that changes the audio problem.

        This was expected, but also had to be ruled out.


    v1.445 March 24, 2021

      SNR measurement:

        Take transverter frequency offset into account.

        Display SNR value(s) on user (top bar) and admin pages (status tab).


      Added SAM PLL loop control to audio tab.

        Has a slow loop setting "DX" that can be used to better track weak stations.


    v1.444 March 23, 2021

      Include two most recent SNR values in /status query. This implies all the SNR values

        for public Kiwis will be aggregated in the rx.kiwisdr.com/index.html file

        HTML comments.

       

      TDoA extension:

        Improved help panel contents.

        Added warning against prematurely using too many sampling stations because of

          the large number of computation timeouts we see on the server.

  • v1.437 From Marco, IS0KYB: AGC threshold bar, Passband overload mute

    From the CHANGE_LOG file:

    v1.437 March 6, 2021

      From Marco, IS0KYB (thanks Marco!)

        AGC threshold bar added to S-meter:

          The white bar appearing above the green S-meter bar is the AGC threshold value

          (from control panel AGC tab). The threshold dBm value can read on the

          S-meter scale in equivalent S-units.

        Passband overload mute:

          Mutes the audio when the signal level in the passband exceeds a set value.

          The value is defined by a new setting on the admin page config tab.

          When active a "!" appears in place of the mute icon on main control panel.

          Useful for example when a nearby transmitter would otherwise result in a

          loud annoying signal. Mute recovery time uses existing squelch tail setting.

           

      Added list of code contributors to _COPYRIGHT file.

        Work in progress. If we missed your code contribution please email us.

        We have hundreds of github issues and thousands of emails and forum posts to review.


      Typing '/' alone into frequency box will restore the passband to the default value

        for the current mode. Shortcut to shift-clicking over a mode button.

      FFT extension: add help button, URL parameters, preset for RTZ.

      Add mouseover popups to more buttons and menus on main control panel.

      Removed more references to sdr.hu

  • v1.352: new time station extension (timecode decoder)

    v1.433 February 12, 2021

      Timecode extension improvements:

        Support for JJY(Japan), RBU(Moscow), RTZ(Irkutsk), BPC(China) added.

        While running AGC delay is temporarily increased to improve noise immunity.

  • Real Time SWBC Shortwave Broadcast Station Schedule

    There's absolutely no need for individual Kiwi's to be downloading from there when it needs to be compiled into a compact binary form as part of a release. The list is huge and fetching it off the filesystem of the Kiwi would break the Kiwi realtime restrictions (i.e. audio failures).

    I improved my own Makefile so there's less manual work to update the list.

  • New product accessories in our store: SDR protection circuit, MW filter

  • Register Kiwi SDR online

    Well, the complexity is a result of people asking for features over the years. That's the trade-off. I try and limit it as much as I can. It's a thankless task, as some people are always unhappy..

  • v1.801

    The next release will support multiple iframe definitions so you can have several custom entries in the extension menu.

    So I'd like to start a collection of iframe URLs that people have found and setup on their Kiwi's. We have the default SK6AW spot list now. And I'm aware of the Blitzortung.org lightning map that the VK3KHZ Kiwi's have. Someone must have one for solar conditions, right?

    Please drop a link below to a Kiwi that has an interesting iframe. Or email to support@kiwisdr.com

    Thanks!

  • Save SSTV image [added in v1.801]

    Found a trivial way to do it. So will be part of the v1.801 release.

  • SWBC Lookup / adding both http and https to the URL. [fixed in v1.801]

    Okay, I see what's wrong. Will be fixed in v1.801

  • Admin connections reloading/crashing? Read here! (v1.708,709,710 => v1.800)

    Okay, these 5 have been fixed. Others are in the queue.

    Anyone else, assuming your Kiwi has Internet access, email the link/URL and admin password to support@kiwisdr.com. It can take a couple hours to fix the build depending on various factors.

    Some people have asked if they can try fixing this themselves. If you have ssh access to your Kiwi (NB: different from Kiwi admin access) you can try fixing it. Don't ask about the browser procedure to restore admin page access. It's complicated and I don't have time to walk people through it.

    Follow the instructions given in the first post of this thread.
