Yes. Kiwi DC jack goes direct to 5VE on header. Down to BBG. BBG power controller switches it and sends back up to Kiwi board as 5V and 3.3V. So BBG is completely in the power path.
-
T301 is the schematic part reference. 501Y is the CMC part value. It's all the same part.
-
We've had a number of cases where the Beagle gets blown up by (presumably) a very bad transient on the 5V input, but the Kiwi board survives. In essence the Beagle acts as a moderately priced fuse. So well worth it to replace the Beagle and see if i…

Rather than the design review document (which by now is horribly out-of-date) what you want is the troubleshooting guide: http://www.kiwisdr.com/ks/troubleshooting.pdf There is also a recent forum thread about how to bypass the 5V input choke: https…

Can you be more specific? A search on rx.kiwisdr.com for "alness" turns up nothing. Also, you may have to contact the Kiwi owner/admin if there is an email link in the user control panel "stat" tab (assuming they're not reading h…

v1.639 has a completely new frequency memory menu user interface to try: v1.639 November 26, 2023 New frequency memory menu user interface: Auto or manual save mode. Click-hold of memory icon does save in manual save mode. Optional sav…

Cost will be revealed when the store opens.

The third (and hopefully final) prototype version went out for fabrication last Monday (20 Nov). Being built by the manufacturer in NZ we have chosen to work with (the prior two prototypes were manufactured elsewhere). We need to be certain they can…

From the wsprnet.org curl URL: mine: date=231125 (25 nov 2023 UTC) yours: date=160524 (24 may 2016 UTC) So we need to figure out what's going on there! That looks like the default Beagle Debian 8 image year. But NTPd should be running on Linux b…

In the admin extensions tab, under WSPR, set the Log spot debug info? setting to Yes. Then after you get some decodes look at the admin log tab for messages like the following. Check the ones that begin "wsprnet.org said:" and see if the s…

I believe it's working correctly. Although the yellow IQ bal and Fcal buttons will appear for regular user connections, as soon as you press them the admin password entry panel will appear before allowing you to go any further. From a local network …

Checking..

Ha! Thanks for that. This is interesting because during the Bouvet 3Y0J operation, where there was considerable piracy, I had also thought about what FT8-based anti-spoofing methods might be implemented. Although the H44WA method certainly helps I d…

Alright, let me add back the old behavior as the default. And have a selection for the new mode directly in the menu itself so you don't have to know to go to the right-click menu to find it. I had a number of people say the old mode was useless as …
-
I had a request to also store/retrieve the mode in the frequency menu. It could be conditional as follows. Each time you press the store entry in the frequency menu, while holding shift (or while holding down long enough), the mode and zoom would ad…

Try this. Open the admin console tab, or make a ssh/PuTTY connection to a shell on the Kiwi. Type: cd /root/KiwiSDR-antenna-switch-extension gup (updates to latest version of antenna switch sources) bash ./ant-switch-extension-installer (choose &quo…
-
Okay, let me work on this..
-
I used to use the automatic loading of the memories to be able to go back to a frequency I'd previously quickly tuned to if I noticed that some activity had reoccurred. Is it worth enabling the old behavior as an option on the left-click menu? Would…

The Kiwi audio output code I wrote handles stereo. But it depends on the Dream code sending stereo output samples. Did you make that post on Twitter about 603 kHz as received by the Bengaluru India Kiwi? I listened there a few times. But all I ever …

An example of the new FT8 DXpedition mode message decoding. ZL7A Chatham Islands (NZ) in fox/hound mode showing four exchanges in a single 15 second cycle. https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/157/IS1XKPHB9EX6.png

Well, I think I fixed it. I can't quite believe it, but the fix was only 3 lines of added code. What happens now is that whenever you change the frequency entry it immediately forces a list re-sort and then acts like you entered the frequency in the…

The only BBG I have here running Deb 10 looks like this: root@kiwisdr:~# dog Debian 10.11 BeagleBoard.org Debian Buster IoT Image 2020-04-06 Linux kiwisdr 4.19.94-ti-r42 #1buster SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 31 19:38:29 UTC 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux Debian GNU/L…

It would be interesting to run tcpdump (or equivalent) from a non-Kiwi host on the LAN and see what comes out of the gateway for Kiwi vs non-Kiwi traffic.
-
If anyone else has this problem -- I could use some help. Before applying the "quick fix" above please email support@kiwisdr.com if you are able to open the ssh port (22) on you Kiwi, so I might connect and try to figure out the root cause…

Are the Kiwi and computer running the browser on the same local network (i.e. low latency between the two) or are they separated by a higher latency Internet connection? I ask because it's quite possible this is occurring because of a timing/race pr…

One tricky thing: The passband field on the "dx labels" panel of a user connection (or on the admin DX tab) is in Hz. So if you intend a +/- 1 MHz wide mask type "2M" into the field, instead of the more cumbersome 2000000. Simila…
-
Okay, that's good. But those files being missing or corrupted isn't supposed to cause the user interface to get stuck like that. So I need to figure out why that is happening and fix it.
-
Yes, definitely a corrupted or missing dx label file. Unless you have a custom one you'd like to restore you can restore the default by doing: cdp cp unix_env/kiwi.config/dist.dx.json ../kiwi.config/dx.json cp unix_env/kiwi.config/dist.dx_config.jso…
-
A bit difficult to tell just from the browser console. But it might be configuration file or dx label database corruption. Can you (or do you know how to) open port 22 (ssh) on your router and link it to your Kiwi? If so, please do so and email the …

There are no OTHR entries in the community database because their frequencies are unpredictable. CODAR is a different story, although these are regional and fairly low power I believe. Maybe someone has a different view on this.
