That fixed it! Thanks.

I figured out a way to get the antenna outside the window....there is a planter for flowers that I can rest it on. Instantly I am now picking up more satellites.
-
And I noticed something interesting about the antenna cable...it looks like a pinch or kink. Wonder if that may be a factor...(Image)
-
On the chance that it IS the antenna/cable (easy way to eliminate that as an issue), I will order a replacement. Is this an active GPS antenna? Any suggestions on a replacement unit? Thanks

No real change, Jim. I am concerned about extending the coax for the GPS antenna and ending up with a degraded signal with longer feedline. What are other folks doing for their KiwiSDR antenna setups? I do have a workshed with power, out in the b…

Great feedback and suggestions, everyone. Here is the new implementation of my GPS antenna. If this does not get the better reception, then I will go "old school" using the method John described and I remember using in my early ham days …

Thanks for the replies. John, the GPS antenna is oriented like that...since I can't get satellites to the north, I figured I would try orthogonal to the south. Attached GPS screenshot. This is with the unit running for 3 weeks. Cathal, no tem…

Got it working! First, I did some reading on the web about missing Fortran libraries, and tried sudo apt install gfortran and it gave me an error. Suggested I run sudo apt --fix-broken install which ran successfully. Then I ran wsprdaemon aga…

Thanks, jks. I requested an API key tonight per the instructions here: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-net-rev As soon as I get a reply and get it set up I will let you know.

This was after I tried again and restarted. It's now 10 hours later an no change in status.

ROFL. The metal case goes on top of the plastic when the orientation is bottom down, not bottom up! The pictures in the enclosed instructions in the box were kinda hard to read, but I got it when I saw the details online. http://kiwisdr.com/quick…

OK, jks. You have stumped me. In Snip 1 that shows the plastic piece attached to the bottom of the board, the metal side pieces are on top of the plastic. Is this so simple that I can't see it?
-
I got it. Windows settings, sound panel. Thanks everyone for your patience and assistance.

Thanks. Am I making this more complicated than necessary? I open the browser (Chrome). I connect to the Remote kiwi receiver. I have the Virtual Audio Cable installed. I launch SpectrumLab and select the Virtual Audio Cable. How does the audio…

Thanks for the reply. The concept is clear, but how do I configure the browser to redirect the sound?

Thanks, WA2ZKD. I am accessing KiwiSDR on the web (other Kiwi's, I don't have one of my own yet). Apps include SpectrumLab, FLDigi.
