  • Nice email from a listener

    jksjks
    I received this email just now:

    Good afternoon. I was hoping you could relay a group message to all those currently providing remote access on SDR.hu

    “I would like to extend my deep appreciation to all the remote providers. The service you provide has given me countless hours of enjoyment. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to purchase my own equipment. Possibly, one day in the future.

    The remote providers continue the amateur radio enthusiast’s exemplary commitment to public service.
    Thanks again for providing this wonderful service. The time, not to mention expense, required to provide this service, has not gone unnoticed.”

  • DDNS from KiwiSDR

    Okay, good. Please let me know if it works for you.
    I ended up having to understand that DUC code much more than I wanted to, lol.

  • New beta test KiwiSDR: try new features before release

    jksjks
    FIXED. I found an old laptop with a Chrome that failed.
    Thanks everyone for your assistance and patience getting to the bottom of this. It was indeed a javascript interpreter inconsistency.

  • Firmware won't update past 1.67 [corrupted Beagle/Debian filesystem]

    jksjks
    Great, glad it worked. I've only had filesystem corruption occur a couple of times over the years. But it does happen.

    Sorry about the Jameco supply problems. I should never have recommended those things, but at the time I was desperate to find any low-cost linear supply solutions.

    This whole thing is hopefully going to be fixed soon..

  • Unable to log into Admin menu since v1.81 [fixed: v1.82 reverts the v1.81 changes]

    jksjks
    Daniel, that's a good idea. I've been lazy about not using git branches and that's already changed. I've got some extra units here and could make a public test unit available running the current beta release. The biggest problem with all this has been problems I can't duplicate here either because of subtle differences in my environment or whatever. I'll be really interested to see what this current problem is. I'm sure it will be another SMH (smack my head) moment. These things usually are.

    For anyone who's wondering: the little web server inside the Kiwi software has never sent the appropriate HTTP headers to allow the browser to cache content. So all the static content (images, javascript, etc.) gets downloaded over the wire each time you make a connection which is kinda dumb. Now it's not a huge deal because the audio/waterfall streams pretty quickly dwarf that amount of network traffic. But there are some new features coming which will depend on caching for efficiency. So I've been trying to get it to work. You would think it should be easy, but it's deceptive. Lots of corner cases. And if you get it wrong you end up with a situation where the browser has downloaded some of the latest files (e.g. javascript) but is still using cached copies of others that are out-of-date. And that can be a real nightmare to recognize sometimes. I'm almost certain a caching issue is responsible for the admin page problem.

  • Local QRM, 60 KHz intervals

    Seeed has been sending me prototypes of a nice aluminum case with small internal fan. Don't know the schedule or price, but hopefully reasonable. I'm trying to get them to resell those nice audiophile linear power supplies too.
