What Beagle release is using Linux 6.1? I haven't seen that (but admittedly don't 100% keep up with what they're doing). I thought about using PREEMPT_RT way back in 2014. But I didn't know anything about it. I figured if the entire project was pred…

Hi Jeff, I have to do this manually (and I'm obviously tardy in doing so). I download the latest .csv file from eibispace.de and run it through a custom C program I wrote that parses that file and builds another file that is compatible with the DX l…

It's been years since I did this. But there's some code commented-out in the FPGA programming routine that I think does a loopback test of the SPI interface. You have to remove the Kiwi board and jumper the MOSI and MISO signals together of course. …

Your responsibility. But be careful. We had plenty of trouble in the past (mostly with Debian 8) because people would jump the gun and update/upgrade before I had cleared it. The problem wasn't with what Debian had done but rather with what the Beag…

Okay, /snr?measure (from the local network only) added to /snr interface for the next release.
-
@f6bir2 Okay, thank you. The OE5xxx in my email is also named Rene, hence my confusion. Thanks very much for the log file. I need to figure out what exactly happened..
-
Okay. I was just amazed that @f6bir2 seemed to solve an identical problem just by re-flashing from an older image (exact version still unknown) to v1.665. I still don't understand how that could possibly have been true.
-
If I were to add an option to the existing /snr URL (that would only work from the local network) would that work for you? Like /snr?measure

If the Kiwi server sees that the debian account password is set to temppwd (the Debian distro default) it changes it to the serial number of the Kiwi board.

From my experience, ethernet noise also depends a lot on what is on the other end of the cable. Some routers seem to produce more noise than others. Perhaps some of them have the line pairs not very well balanced, or a bit out of phase. 100% this. T…

Much easier/better to create a wsprdaemon setup. Even though it will require another computer (any old computer will do: cheap PC, another inexpensive SBC e.g. RPi etc). wsprdaemon gives you complete control over stuff like that and much more.
-
@f6bir2 Sorry, I am extremely confused. Are you the same person who has been emailing me using a different callsign in your messages (OE5...) also having a problem with no signal reception? Where you tried jumpering over the RF attn chip with no im…

@JIMMY0311 Could you try re-flashing using the latest image file and see if it cures your "FPGA not responding" problem just as @f6bir2 recently found with his? File KiwiSDR_v1.665_BBG_BBB_Debian_11.9.img.xz as mentioned in instructions h…
-
Yes. And those flashing messages should stop in the latest releases since I now do the spot uploading on the server side instead of on the client (browser) side.
-
@f6bir2 Glad it's working. But I'm still very worried that I don't understand why you would have seen such a serious problem as "FPGA not responding" just by using the Debian 11 sd card re-flash image. I would very much still like to see …

So there's no question now that there's an older MS-S7-WEB and a newer one. This is the older one that the current antenna switch code supports. It has antenna mixing and a completely different API from the current MS-Sn-WEB switches: http://arcticd…

@f6bir2 Is it a Kiwi-1 or Kiwi-2? I really need to see a large number (like 500 to 1000) of the log messages from the msl command. Could you email those to support@kiwisdr.com please?
-
@PSO Is it now working for you?
-
Hi Rob, Okay, understood. Sort of like how any LF/MW/HF Kiwi frontend module for the accessory box absolutely has to contain set of dedicated, tunable series traps for the AM BCB. Since so many people live in a town with a local blowtorch not too fa…

I was debugging using a customer's s5 to get the backend script working for that switch. And I know of at least one other customer who now has a working s5. But we're having real trouble with the s7. It's a very confusing situation because it's almo…

Glenn has already designed and tested a 0-2 GHz Kiwi "frequency extender". I haven't had time to look at it much yet. http://sonic.net/%7En6gn/OSHW/KiwiExtender.html
-
The uploading always worked for me, including recently. It was just the confirmation report that wsprnet.org used to send with each upload that seems to be missing.
-
Hi Rob, That's actually really interesting. I have a proposal document for a Kiwi "accessory box" containing most of these functions plus more. It's geared towards supporting 4 Kiwis. For example the HF front end (with antenna switch, notc…
-
I missed that Martin was using ant_switch, the full name of the old extension. The extension name selection code allows for unique prefix matching. That's why specifying just ant alone works. I will make my fix for the DX labels do the same so ant_s…

Okay, good news.

Good catch. I have changed the alias to ipa for the next release.
