OFCOM has NO interest in enforcing ANY kind of rules that apply to communications, whether that involves encroachment into Amateur radio spectrum, interference, or nuisance telephone sales and scam calls. A more vivid example of government failure i…

Part of the problem is that unless you live in a remote place you probably have all kinds of RF filth coming from your neighbour's houses too.

I got rid of my second switch mode power supply for the KIWI last week and transformed my noise levels. I bought the Kiwi with a power supply provided by Martin Lynch and co in the UK as a package. The power supply was very noisy. I swapped it out f…

Thanks Andy. I saw that one. Next week sometime, I am going to get out of storage a pretty clean recycled power supply I used to use on my Yaesu txceiver. It came out of a desk top computer that I scrapped and has several 5v lines tied together. If …

Andy ! It has been resolved, but I'm not sure why. I think it must have been actually solved last week when I was rewriting the interfaces file with new numbers (wlan1). After doing that, I had not rebooted the beagle, but merely ran the ifup uti…
-
Thanks for that Andy. I've never accessed the beagle through usb, so I will go and look for those files and also try the commands to list the wireless dongle. I'll get back to you when I have done some more digging. Cheers and thanks for the input…

Thanks for the post. I edited the interfaces file as suggested trying wlan1 and wlan2. It had no effect when I tried to call the interface up with the command ifup wlanx where the 'x' is the number of the interface being tried. I also looked wher…

After a month of faultless running, the wifi dongle has stopped working when the beagle and kiwi sdr were power cycled by the mains going off momentarily and coming back on again. Happens here in bad weather sometimes. Was there anything in the la…

Martin's kiwi and amplified loop are extremely good performers, best I've seen so far, but even a wire loop on the ground without amplification is surprisingly good, especially if some of it can be trailed along a fence or hedge between two and thre…

Yes - it works. I just connected to it and had a look around. You might want to do some antenna experiments. You seem to have some noise there and the vertical is pretty deaf on LF and MF where I have tried it. I got some real improvements on my a…

I'm running wspr on two of my Kiwi channels, on 40 and 20 meters as G0BZBSWL. I'm pretty certain that wsjtx decoded more spots on the same antenna on 40 meters than the wspr extension does. I was wondering about doing the decoding with wsjtx on a ra…

Thanks John. That's completely clear and explains the issue perfectly. It wasn't a biggie at all - I was just curious to understand it. By the way - I wrote previously about GPS difficulties caused by my weird location, sheltered from the sky. I d…
-
Sorry for the late response. Yes the IP address has changed again. We have been having winter storms and there have been some very short interruptions of power supply so I guess that may account for public ip address changes in the router as it is…

Is it possible that an ISP could obstruct this kind of service? My kiwi is fully updated, has the correct switch set on the admin networking page ,and won't respond to the my.kiwisdr.com request, or to the kiwisdr.local one. It never has done. I j…

Thanks, I can look at the idea of a gps repeater, but having messed about a bit with the calibration based on the 10mhz wwv signal, once corrected and running 24/7 it seems quite stable moving perhaps 2 hz in 24 hours. I'm now thinking, if the clock…

:smile: As a real linux BEGINNER, I'm delighted to say that I used this thread and another one on here to get my new KIWISDR up and running on an ancient usb wireless dongle. Mine has the Realtek chipset RTL 8188SU but the kiwi somehow used the rt…

Thanks Jim.

Thanks for the info. My situation is going to make the GPS tricky. As well as having thick stone walls, the house is in a place with a cliff rising immediately behind, a small river in front and rising ground in front. My phone gets a 3d fix in th…

Hi, New Kiwisdr user here. I am not doing too well on the GPS front. Firstly I don't know what all the terms /symbols on the GPS page of the admin web page mean, and secondly, I live in a cottage with two foot thick, solid stone walls. The antenn…
-
Great to see such excellent customer service John. Delighted with the product here. Had a go at making a better antenna and dropped the noise pick up dramatically. The thing performs really well, but I will try to get a lower noise floor by experime…

You sir, are a total wizard.!!!! Looks great. Sound is back. This old git is very pleased - and impressed with what you did there. Thanks a million. Looks like we are in business. I'll give it a whirl and tell you what it is like. Thumbs up to y…
-
Sorry we crossed there. I doubled my post. I think I was looking at the first page and thought it hadn't worked. (dumb fellow) :(( Hopefully, it will just work now and when it comes back the sound will be back. Somehow I started out with sound, but…

I sent you a pm with the new external IP and internal too.The ssh port is open.
-
Sent you a pm with the new external IP and all current details. The internal address is now reserved.
-
I reserved the internal IP to 192.168.1.8 (which is what it had changed to) and I opened port 22 for you. Is it still not right? The external ip is dynamic I think. I will check whether it has changed and report back.
-
Have opned the port again on the router. This must be a total pain for you... You should be able to get back in now.
-
Bloody hell! Its IP has changed.... The last two digits are .1.8. Sorry about all this mularchy.....
-
I have switched it off and on again. The lights are flashing b0th network light and the blue one which I assume refers to its building activity. The lights were still flashing up until I power cycled it and they have all begun again now. Sorry tha…
-
Thanks so much mate. I really appreciate your help. I also noticed that the sound had vanished during the evening. I don't think it is a user error. It just went silent. What happens when it finishes? Will it just reset and come up normal ? :)

Just wondering if I should swap the network cable that links the kiwi to the router? I think you may be updating because when I look at status on the admin page the cpu activity on the kiwi is running pretty high. It is a new unused cable, but you …
