All these ideas for external sensors, processors and data links are surely possible (for you clever guys), but my sloppy contribution was meant to refocus on the existing BB hardware and Kiwi IP channels with the minimum of additional sensors. I'd l…

System telemetry is as old as spaceflight, probably older. Surely the low-bandwidth data involved could be multiplexed onto any data channel, or on a special admin-only dedicated channel? Given the low cost of sensors, some key electrical parameters…

Nils Schiffhauer has a remarkable track record highlighting emerging technology that is going to revolutionise radio listening. His blog is something to check in with often. The "public tableau" Nils links to holds only a sample of "M…

@jks Hi, John I've just started to look into the innards of kiwiclient, to understand a little bit about its function but also to motivate first steps in getting familiar with Python (oh, why did I ever imagine I'm up to that?). A few basic question…
-
Hi, Ben Python itself really isn't the issue. I have tried recording browser sessions and that's terribly messy, really doesn't cut the mustard, so I'm more than happy to use KiwiClient with its vastly better potential. My experience so far suggests…
-
@WA2ZKD Yes, after this minor success with Kiwi Recorder, I'm looking forward to exploring Kiwi Client in more depth. That was non-trivial, given my lack of any Python experience (VBA/VB.NET are my only language skills). After spending a good part …

Interesting.

"Christoph's combiner does 3 channels" Thanks for that. Didn't want to hog any public Kiwi, hence my limitation to try just 2 channels. Glad to know it can be pushed further. I've been in a conversation with SDRC's Simon Brown about provis…
-
Interesting, Ben! I did wonder how closely the independent channels would be synchronised. I'm sure this would be useless for TDOA etc, but my ear could not detect any misalignment (which would probably be masked by propagation effects anyway). All …
-
Hi, Ben. Seconding your suggestion. Bears some relationship to what I wrote above: "And lastly, something you don't provide is free vernier tuning to override the PLL. A range of +/- 10 to 50 Hz would cover most MW carrier offsets and, with a r…

Hey, Ben... took me a couple of days (being a complete Python dummy), but now... ace! Thanks to your steer, I'm using WinPython plus command prompt (though I've also tried Spyder and VS Code extension as IDEs). With Bjarne's Kongsfjord Kiwi, made si…

Thanks again, Olaf.
-
Ben, you're a star. I hope to try this out in the next day. Thanks, Paul.

"This is a timeshot of signal levels from 0 to 30 MHz." Olaf, this is a very smart graphical presentation that could presumably be adapted to a huge variety of monitoring scenarios. Have you documented it somewhere please?

Sorry for careless composition there.

"recording from two concurrent browser windows" Yes, I have that (using VAC) a lot of thought. Unless I'm missing something, would VAC distinguish between two instances of Edge, or whatever? Wouldn't I need to use, say Edge + Chrome? And t…
-
Speaking for myself, John, yes - that's what I would be looking for. Left and right from any application instance (Kiwi or not) available as sources in a separate mixer. Friendly name editing for every source. Feeds to headphones, speakers or specif…
-
In a Windows context, particularly... I've noticed in the past several small apps to replace the Windows mixer. There are also several offerings of virtual audio cables - very clever, with lots of configuration options well in excess of what is need…

@Bjarne "I am surely a minority in that respect!" IMHO apart from top-flight DXers such as yourself, there are plenty of dabblers like me who just love to play with these fancy tools 😁.

"maybe Teensy added that after I looked in on it a long time back" Oh dear, just checked back and it was implemented by end-2017. Just goes to show how easily you can miss something significant. Also curious that the Teensy Convolution tea…
-
Oho, John, maybe Teensy added that after I looked in on it a long time back, or I just didn't understand what it was doing. Can't remember. Re: I-Q "pseudo-stereo", that's something various people provide (under various names), but if you …
-
Mr John!!! You are a star!!! 😂 I came back to the Kiwi forum after six-plus months away, and what do I find? You have resurrected a 70-year-old forgotten/ignored technique I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to promote for over a year. And longed to e…
-
That's all very helpful - thanks guys! :) Might try running from 6V battery with a diode, as suggested, as a baseline for checking for PSU noise.
-
Brilliant, thanks. Hope to get up to speed with that some day.
