I see. I haven't really checked for those reports in the log before. Yeah, not seeing any upload messages in the log here. You can tell when the decodes are being uploaded when "wsprnet.org" flashes in the lower left hand corner of the win…
-
Also make sure the gauge of your DC power cable is sufficient for the length of the cable and load. Voltage drop can be a problem, especially during peak current draw during startup. May read 5 volts at the output of the power supply, but once 1 or …

I just tested the WSPR extension (non-autorun) on my Kiwi which is still running v1.601 and it is uploading to the WSPR database fine. Just thought I would mention it if it helps with any debugging. Yes...v1.601...After a year of failing to find 8 …

I haven't had a problem with my Kiwi starting at the same time as the TP-Link. Every so often, I'll cut power to the shed/shack in my backyard (where the Kiwi is installed) when severe storms are expected, to work on my line filters, power outages, …

A few years ago, I built a couple of these "WellGood" loops. Based off the legendary Wellbrook ALA1530. It's been a pretty decent performing loop. It handles being in close proximity (~4 miles) to a 50kW blowtorch on AM, in addition to oth…

As you mention, MFSK modes (specifically 32 and 64, text and images) would be nice on the Kiwi as that is currently my primary use of Fldigi. Not part of Fldigi, and I'm not sure about it's "open source" status, but EasyPal would also be a…

I'm interested in one, and I know of at least one other person who is also interested (who I'm fairly sure hasn't posted on here or Twitter).

I'll have to revisit making a few notch filters, at least one for 1500 sometime. Not too long ago, I had another local DXer ask if I could construct a notch filter for 830 since he lives almost on top of 50kW 830 WCCO.
-
Martin, I thought about implementing notch filters, especially for 1500, but I use the Kiwi mostly for MW/AM dxing, so I don't want to knock down parts of that band if I don't have to. Especially after sunset when 770 is off and 900 is on night pow…

I'd definitely be interested in an external attenuator that makes use of that RF user setting on the Kiwi. I have planned on adapting the antenna switch extension to be able to switch a step attenuator, but have yet to get around to it.
-
Awesome! That attenuator will be greatly welcomed in my environment. I'm about 4 miles (~6.44 km) away from a 50 kW AM station on 1500, about 3 miles (~4.83 km) from a 5 kW AM (daytimer, thank God) on 770, and about 7 miles (~11.26 km) from a 50 kW …
-
This is great to hear! I'll be watching this progress closely. Hopefully everything goes as planned. I'd potentially be in the market for another Kiwi.
-
A ±13kHz config would be interesting. It's becoming less and less common, but Canadian AM stations are allowed to push out to ±12.5kHz analog audio bandwidth. CFQR 600 and CFNV 940 as seen on the Montréal SDR exhibit this. ZNS-1 1540 and ZNS-3 810 i…
-
Would the documents allowing their experimental operation on July 25th, between 00:00 UTC - 05:00 UTC be publicly available if you were to contact the FCC? Perhaps to track down this Franchesco character and the parties involved? It should be obvio…

I've camped many times without queueing before. When one leaves the connection I'm camping on, the audio always goes silent. If I'm also in the queue, it automatically connects me to a channel. I've always figured that to be normal. Just like you he…

I noticed someone sitting on 23kHz on my unlisted KiwiSDR a number of times for a few hours until I finally kicked them from the server one day. Always with a different IP address and location shown. Once it was China, another time it was Korea, a U…
-
Thanks for the heads up. I export and save the JSON file via the DX page on Admin panel every so often. Is that a suitable backup? It's been awhile since I've done a full backup via SD card, I should do that again more soon than later. Not sure I'l…
-
Could one use the existing antenna switch extension for user control of a step attenuator or the switching in and out of notch filters via the GPIO pins on the beagle? I thought about doing this so I or users could toggle between a preset higher and…

https://forum.kiwisdr.com/uploads/241/K8RDKIQV9ZSO.jpg Do you share your antenna with a transceiver and have a protection switch in place that is switching your antenna in and out? If not, it looks like you may have a bad connection to your antenna.…
-
Did you try switching the little silent mode switch on the side of your phone?

See this here: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/14621#Comment_14621 You use periods (.) instead of the forward slash (/).

There are some Kiwis that have excellent SNR ratings yet always seem to be loaded with spurs and noise, while there are others with poor SNR ratings that are seemingly fine. You really have to check all of them in a certain area (if there is more th…
-
John, Thank you for all the work you have done on making the KiwiSDR possible. When I first discovered the KiwiSDR a few years ago, I thought it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, honestly. It's a really good performing receiver as well.…
-
I just turned off auto-update in the preferences. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Okay, that's fine. I'll be watching for it.
-
That sounds good. I'll give it a try after the Kiwi auto-updates tonight. I figured there would be variation between the Andriod and iPhone. I'm still using an old iPhone 7 (which I'm planing to replace within the year), so I stayed just shy of aski…

I actually made that map and posted it on the AM-Stereo C-QUAM Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/385327984878627 and the I Love AM Radio Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/iloveamradio. Where many members added input on whet…

Thanks again.

Okay, here it goes. I need to apologize. The stereo channeling was correct the way it was before. I should’ve double checked a few other Kiwis receiving AM-stereo stations and my old AM-stereo tuners before mentioning anything about reversed channel…
-
https://archive.org/details/WXYG_stereo_ID It sounds good, correct stereo channeling. Here's a clip of WXYG from my Kiwi and their online stream. I'm about ~70 miles away from the 850 watt station and ground wave conditions on the low end of the ba…
