John (or others), a shot in the dark: Could it be that two Kiwis on the same no-ip account simply do not work? Anyone tested this? After I moved kongsdr to a new account it has been running fine (fingers still crossed).
-
Thanks John. I'm afraid there's something that might eventually make the error return. If that is the case, I am not sure that I want to go on with no-ip. The proxy was at least extremely stable.
-
OK, so I set up a new account. Deleted kongsdr from the old one. DUC on kiwi disabled (NO to enable DUC on startup and restarted kiwi). Set up the hostname on the new account. And what Target/IP meets me there? 77.222.188.161! I have never (lately a…
-
OK, I have uninstalled the DUC (not NUC...!) I don't do any refreshes on no-ip.com. I had 2-3 instances of kongsdr running and was beginning to smile. However, it went back to being non-accessible. After I restarted the Kiwi DUC, it came back. I sti…

John, I think the Target/IP 77.222.188.161 is a remnant from when we tried to connect in 2016 or 2017! Please look at the attached log from no-ip, the first entry there is Nov 1 but I didn't connect the Kiwi until Nov 15! After we replaced no-ip wi…
-
Yes, ghost DUC might be a good description! Here is the last response from no-ip support: "Thank you for information. After noting that behavior and pulling further logs, it appears as if the hostname is receiving updates from two sources. …
-
The connection is lost between refreshes. If I refresh or restart DUC, connection is back for seconds or minutes. So, it's what happens between refreshes. I could of course refresh every 15 seconds or so, but that seems rather extreme. I didn't quit…

No-ip.com support is looking into it. However, it looks eerily similar to a problem I had with a 4G modem/router in September 2017. There as well, there seemed to be nothing wrong with DNS. After lots of work for finding the error, John set up the p…

Someone on an SDR facebook group reported good results with the MLA-30 a few days ago. Don't know his mileage though.

I agree that the Alibaba "Megaloop" is probably not worth its money, even at that price level. However, my reference to Bonito was the NTi MegaDipol/MegaLoop, not the Chinese thing. People seem to think this is a Bonito brand. It isn't, an…
-
It's not a Bonito, the manufacturer is NTi. Bonito sells it. I tested the MegaDipol over a few weeks this summer and it performs remarkably sell. Story here: http://arcticdx.blogspot.com/2019/07/antenna-test-nti-megadipol-md300dx.html. Online here: …

Possibly a MegaLoop lookalike: https://hamradioshop.net/en/Antennas/MegaLoop-FX-Active-Loop.html. I seriously doubt it's a clone...
-
Alibaba: Well, not really. They are electric field antennas, which are not recommended in a noisy environment. And the dipole - how are you going to fit that in your appartment. Magnetic field antennas are less susceptible to noise (but far from imm…
-
Antennas designed for bluetooth, wifi and gps frequency ranges will perform just as you describe - nothing heard. You need an antenna designed for the HF (i.e. shortwave) spectrum. A magnetic loop such as the W6LVP amplified loop seems to be popular…

Reply from a non-expert - it's many years since I tested DRM properly but I remember I could decode at around 11 dB SNR, but not stable. Selective fading does kill DRM reception. A possible remedy for that is diversity reception. I thought maybe it …

There are three tuning steps assigned to each mode. Which one would you use for mouse scrolling? I suppose opinions would differ.
-
Thanks a million John.
-
Maybe someone (not me) would want a VHF-UHF version. That said, in this small global market, the KiwiSDR is a huge success in terms of numbers, and I hope commercially as well. My latest Kiwi is s/n 4340, so I assume 3500 units have been made by now…
-
John, there will be a unit with 4 ethernet ports installed with the fiber. However, I need to cater for TV (one port), my guest DX-ers (one or two ports), so the idea was to connect a router to one of the outputs from the fiber box.
-
OK thanks. I'll have a look at it, but I might end up at old tech... ;-)
-
Can the Kiwi connect to an SFP port?
-
What I saw from the RouterOS video it's not too complex... I was looking at this one, should handle all my PCs and SDRs in my radio room. https://mikrotik.com/product/RB2011iL-IN
-
I'm a bit attracted to the Mikrotik despite its GUI, and I have seen a few of the tutorial youtube videos (a series of 97 - yikes!) Maybe they are more reliant than the average consumer grade routers as well.
-
Budget is "within reason" - let's say within USD 500.
-
I never reflected if the proxy could (or should) be common or not. I do want to have both public, with different names (today's ArcticSDR and the new being KongSDR). The latter will not go online until I have the fiber connection ok, probably late A…
-
Finally! Spotted both on FF and Chrome. I kept port 8073 on both, that's possibly the only change I know of.
-
Scan 1.4 did not detect the Kiwi. I decided to fire up the Kiwi from scratch (memory card) and await complete update, so it will take until tomorrow or so. No rush on this one. Thanks for commenting so far. If I remember correctly, at some point you…
-
Downloaded FF, and it finds the first one (192.168.1.10/8073) on every scan, but it doesn't find 192.168.1.101/8074 on any scan. I then disconnected the first one, but still no cigar on the other. I then disconnected and reconnected both. The new Ki…

Thanks both!

Cache flush worked! Thanks!
