  • Well, I don't know. I tried zeroing an sd card with Linux "dd" such that the partition table was wiped clean. And then verified that fact with "sfdisk". Then ran the script directly so the error message associated with a potentia…
  • First, what software version is the Kiwi-1 running? This is shown on the admin page, status tab. We had a problem a number of years ago with carrier tones leaking through in AM mode. You should never have to re-balance the IQ. The default values are…

  • No it isn't actually. Even if you're on a computer on your "local" network, from the Kiwi's perspective, using a proxy connection (even for an admin connection) is going out to the proxy server at proxy.kiwisdr.com and back in again to you…

  • @dl7awl Sorry, there was some missing text on that page describing that the new button on the admin backup tab must be used. I've fixed that now. @ww6d I'm surprised you thought some sort of formatting of the sd card was necessary. That should not b…
  • I just did this for a customer (D11.9 to D11.11) using the admin console and it took 30 minutes. With the server running and active user connections.

  • @VK3KHZ Thanks, fixed. I'm so used to doing those things via an ssh connection. Didn't help that I had been up since 3AM yesterday! lol

  • Rather than starting a new topic it's important to make follow-up comments to the original thread. Otherwise this forum will become a gigantic mess (more so than it already is, lol). From the same local network as the Kiwi you should always be able …

  • You can update the Debian minor version number from the command line (just not the major version number). Open the admin console tab. Then type: pkup (package update) pkug (package upgrade) reboot This should upgrade you from Debian 11.9 to 11…

  • I think this is a conflict between who controls the LEDs during the sd card backup script running. I believe it's on my list of things to fix. Update: Okay, fixed for the next release.

  • The upgrade process has been greatly simplified has discussed here: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-D11-upgrade
  • Thanks. I wrote some instructions about the process here that also mention the possibility of having to use the boot/user button: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-D11-upgrade

  • Yep, a typo made in the Verilog code last July if you can believe that. Didn't show itself until I built v1.807. Fixed in v1.808.. Due to a technical problem there is no binary release for this version. So all Kiwis will have to rebuild from source …

  • Thanks. I had to rebuild the FPGA code for this release. Something I haven't done in quite a while. This problem seems to be related to that.

  • Try v1.807 please, as all of that code was rewritten from scratch. If you still think there is an issue I will take a look.

  • There's absolutely no need for individual Kiwi's to be downloading from there when it needs to be compiled into a compact binary form as part of a release. The list is huge and fetching it off the filesystem of the Kiwi would break the Kiwi realtime…
  • Okay, for the next release the Makefile will do a "make force" if $(PVT_EXT_DIRS) is not empty. I have not yet started to do pre-compiled binaries for BBAI & BBAI-64 (or BBG/B running anything other than D8.x for that matter).
  • That README page is slightly confusing because the picture of the air-core coil and first schematic appear adjacent to each other. The two schematics refer to the second picture which shows an "AM loopstick" style ferrite coil which could …
  • Good idea about adding the antenna status to the admin status tab. I'll add that. Right now I only have it on the admin extension tab, antenna switch selection. You don't have to do anything special on my account. I will let you know if otherwise. T…
  • Nice. Well, it's all about the field strength. Very likely you can build something useful that will not be detectable outside of your immediate location. And, you can use your Kiwi to test it -- the timecode extension!
  • It's not automatic. I have to do it by hand. It's published every six months at eibispace.de I see A25 is out, so I'll try and get that in the next Kiwi release.
  • I just replied to your email before I saw this post. So I'll include my email reply here: So it turns out the default dx.json is stored on every Kiwi in case it turns up missing during a software install. If you bring up the admin console try these …
  • Okay, I can do the 8-character thing. I just wanted to hear you thoughts. Let me understand the admin antenna switch page request: You want an indication of which antenna(s) are currently selected? (including if all grounded and multiple if mixing i…
  • What's the use case for reducing it to 8? Are people abusing the 16 character lower limit in your experience?
  • Is this a Kiwi 2 with an Internet connection? If so please email admin password to support@kiwisdr.com and serial number too.

  • In the latest kiwiclient/kiwirecorder update the --progress option can now be used with --nc / --netcat. It will print the progress information to stderr instead of stdout so it doesn't mix with the streamed data (given that you're typically redirec…
  • For security reasons a number of operations can only be done from the same "local network". This means the network "IP address" of the device accessing the Kiwi must be in the same range as the Kiwi. Example: 192.168.1.xxx, where…

  • Well, the complexity is a result of people asking for features over the years. That's the trade-off. I try and limit it as much as I can. It's a thankless task, as some people are always unhappy..
  • If all channels are full you'd have to "kick" a channel via the button on the admin status page to create a free channel for you to connect. Alternatively, you can reserve one of the channels by setting a user password on the admin securit…
  • There have been some running https in the past. But they implemented re-proxying http content from kiwisdr.com as https so this problem would not happen. I don't recall if any of them was done on cloudflare or with a private server running nginx. Th…
  • What does the status column of the browser "network" tab say? (you'll need to do a page refresh after selecting "network") What Kiwi software version are you running?
