#iot is out of stock (I just got an answer from them)
-
This is very sad to see, but I'm grateful for all the joy I've had operating and using Kiwis across the world. Thank you.
-
Would Pipewire run on a Pi(4)? It looks like a great way to feed multiple apps with a single source.
-
Seems good to change the default, though I've switched to using Robs 'daemon to do WSPR decodes and it works great with my Kiwis. I think the reason folks use their call on 22M wspr is to ensure that they get picked up on the WSPR aggregators. I'm…

This is a really cool enhancement , and I'm having fun seeing the huge variety of ship traffic using the DSC decoder. Iv'e spent some time looking for a "Idiots guide to DSC message format interpreting" but haven't found any info on what …

Ben, that PDF file from Johns-Hopkins is fascinating (and disturbing). That's a lot of interesting analysis just based on open source info.
-
This is really great. Thanks for this added capability. Jim, thanks also for pointing out those active links. Some folks really live large!

My issue above was entirely self-inflicted. Due to faulty placement of the GPS pucks, my Kiwis were not getting good GPS fixes. When I fixed that issue (moving the pucks about 3') , my Kiwis calibrated and the default WSPR frequencies were fine fo…
-
Thanks John and Glenn, this is most helpful. I'm really surprised at the huge difference in performance I saw by moving the pucks such a small amount. Being able to "see" the window was of no value here, but getting the pucks away from th…

Stu's suggestion of peeling back the label and lubing the bearing is really good advice. I was consuming fans about every 6 months. They now run much quieter and I haven't had to replace one since doing this.

That fixed it. I have an issue with the other Kiwi, but will start a new thread
-
OK, thanks John John
-
Hmmm. Something else I don't know how to do, but seems interesting. I'll do some searching on the forum to see how one uses kiwiclient. Being a Linux noob, everything is challenging, but the good news is I don't know what I don't know. :-) Than…
-
Thank you for the reply. Given my lack of linux skills, I'll conclude that this is probably for me at least, a hard "no". :-) A somewhat related question, given that 22M WSPR transmissions wander around a good bit, is it possible that t…

Hi John, I show my autorun on 22m as 13554.5 in my admin panel. Maybe the better question to ask is "is there a way I can change that". I'm not sure how I ended up with the value I have.
-
Made it to 1.470 with no problems. Thanks John! Off to do another. Two of Two....
-
I would certainly not recommend it, but I've left my Kiwi's on when running 900W output . Kiwi has not been (yet) permanently damaged.
-
Thank you very much!
-
Perhaps answering my own question, I have built a 5 pole bandstop filter for the AM BCB, which , if the difference between the two reported SNR values is whether it does or does not include the BCB (as another cite seems to state)then makes sense. …
-
By "same" I mean both values seem to be the same. The number of course varies throughout the day.
-
I agree with you Kovalr...this would be super handy
-
I'm sure you're right. The politics that has to be endured to continue to enjoy the relative free reign of such a facility has to be monumental --- particularly where they are. Fortunately the quad is running again.
-
One of my ball bearing fans (installed on May 1--see above) got noisy and was failing . Peeling back the label and putting some thin synthetic lubricant has made it like new at least for the time being (thank you Ron!) While I was at it, I decided …
-
Where are those pesky parenthesis when you need them?
-
Thanks John! Take the rest of the day off :-)
-
By the way this happens here a LOT if I don't have the BCB filter inline. It's nothing special, a "bare bones" labeled unit from EBAY for $9USD . It makes all the difference in the world . Without it the Kiwi is completely saturated with…
-
Same here Chris. Mine run outside thru 3" PVC pipe to the tower, but are grounded when they come to the surface (and that ground connected to my service entrance ground). It's the best I can do.
-
Got it. I use a homebrew 4 port active distribution amp for my multi Kiwi setup. You should just be able to clone the setup (through your admin page access) of your 2nd kiwi exactly the same as your first, and just define the 2nd radio to a differe…
