  • Here's the script I use. For recmode, anything other than lsb records correctly. #!/usr/bin/env bash ctrl_c() { kill %%; exit; } set -u   # Show usage of unset variables as an error to help catch typos #common to all kiwirec=~/kiwiclient/kiwi…
  • It's ok, Ron. @WA2ZKD was actually a tremendous help with the scripting, and starting off by sending me some templates to modify as needed. After working pretty thoroughly with scripts over the last couple of days, there's a couple of things I ha…
  • Just a big thanks to @WA2ZKD as he really shined with a working script. Thanks again!
  • Hey, guys, thanks for your responses. I will email @WA2ZKD tomorrow and thanks for the offer. @KA7U, I think I'm just probably going to keep the cron job as is for now. I looked into scripts earlier today and it seems pretty tough to change the c…
  • Thanks, I may try that, but I'm still hoping to come up with a shell script that will do the cron (or equivalent thereof) when I start it up. For now, it continues to record one min every half hour. Another thing I'm trying to do it record the sam…
  • @KA7U I finally got the cron job working! I hate to say it, but the problem turned out to be that I had incorrect information in the kiwirecorder path, so it was a link problem and not a cron time format problem (I have always struggled with file p…
  • @KA7U I finally came back to try and figure out how to make a cron job, but still not successful. I get the part about the format now, at least I think I do, but I'm still having trouble. For one thing, when I try and save with :wq, it's writing t…
  • @WA2ZKD I tried it, but with the presets all I could see was for modes I don't use like slow speed CW, etc. Nothing that I could find for AM/ USB/ LSB. For some reason, the program doesn't like my sound system so in order to get the files to even …
  • I was just trying to see what I could do with Kiwi IQ files. I did finally manage to get one to play at the correct speed after I made a settings change, but that's about all. I don't see any way to change modes, passbands, or similar, unless I'm …
  • @VR2BG for the IQ files, I find I really like SDRSharp so far. It still lacks independent right or left passband settings (although I can adjust both sides simultaneously), but it seems to offer a lot of audio filtering options and even anti-fading…
  • @WA2ZKD without looking it up, I'm not even sure what wsprdaemon is, but I assume another recording software. Anyway, it doesn't matter as I found out the reason for the lagging of Kiwirecorder. Nothing to do with Kiwirecorder.
  • Thanks, @Christoph Unfortunately, I was hoping for a bit more precision. My own experiments yesterday didn't reveal any specific settings that worked best. The station I'm trying to record is often below the noise floor, but has periods during the…
  • Thanks, all. Been a little busy to reply. Well, Ron, thanks a lot, but I don't think I'm going to be able to use much scripting as I'm about finished with what I have been trying to accomplish. Thanks for taking the extra step. Just for learning…
  • jks, yes I saw and tried setting the passbands in kiwirecorder. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to work and an offending signal off to the side of the main was still present, even though I had calculated with the KiwiDSR where they should be. I'…
  • WA2ZKD, I wanted to have the ability to adjust each side of the passband independently like offered in the KiwiSDR online software. SDRSharp allows adjustment of both sides simultaneously, but not each independently; nor does Sodira seem to offer i…
  • Hi Ron, I wish I knew how to work with that script; can you give me an example, perhaps if I wanted to record a specific site, say yours, at 10 AM today and then stop at 1 PM? The problem with scripts for me is that it takes me forever to get the …
  • Ok, for at least one of the IQ files I had from an KiwiSDR receiver, I was able to open and also could actually record (or re-record I guess) as 16 or 32 bit wave. For the other, SDRSharp, the program I'm using, crashes. I have an update on what…
  • jks, that seems to be doing the job, thanks! Currently doing a test recording just to see how things go. It looks like I'll be getting 32 bit, 12 Khz wave files which is right on target. Just out of curiosity, it doesn't look like I could record …
  • jks, thanks, but when I get down to checking ping kiwi-ip-address, I get: ping: unknown host kiwi-ip-address. When googling this, it looks like I need to have an actual receiver? I don't. I just use the software provided by KiwiSDR in my browser …
  • jks, what would I need to install? I'm with you, I just don't know what I can use.
  • Hi Clint, That's the same link I posted in my question, but it looks like you are the author, is that correct? I got down to the part about installing wsjtx. I tried first the commands you posted, but then had to go to the site (princeton.edu) to…
