  Admin config tab: (thanks Tremolat, G8JNJ, Ben, et al)

    New checkbox "Show user names to user connections". When checked will show "(private)" in

    place of usual user name displayed in the user tab of the main control panel. The user name

    is still shown on the admin status tab and /users URL query.

    New "initial value" menus for audio compression, display setup and option bar.

    (thanks HB9TMC, N6GN)

    By special request: Checkbox below WF cal slider to disable the automatic correction

    that is applied to the WF-min slider (3 dB per zoom step). It is not recommended that you

    set this option as it causes undesirable results. But it also provides a good learning

    opportunity why 3 dB correction is needed every time the WF bandwidth changes by 2x.

    Think SSB vs CW filters and why a narrower filter has a lower noise floor.

  Admin webpage and public tabs: (thanks ZL2LD)

    In an effort to simplify things there has been a general rearrangement and elimination of

    duplicate fields on the webpage and public tabs:

    1) The lat/lon, grid square and altitude fields have been removed from the public tab.

    When publicly registering a Kiwi these values are now taken from the webpage tab where they

    were duplicated. So there is now only one place where you need to set these values.

    See below for an explanation of the new "continuous update" feature.

    2) The admin email and antenna fields have moved to the webpage tab where they more

    properly belong.

    3) There remain two separate "location (name)" fields on the webpage and public tabs.

    Because you may want different location content to appear on the user page top bar

    versus what's displayed on your rx.kiwisdr.com public listing.

  Marine mobile grid square and lat/lon tracking: (thanks S50SVM/MM)

    All of the lat/lon and grid square fields now have the ability to be continuously updated

    by the GPS. So this includes the fields on the admin webpage tab as well as the FT8 and WSPR

    extension tabs. Previously this only existed for the WSPR tab. Although all the grid and

    lat/lon fields had (and continue to have) a button to do a one-time update from GPS.

    Setting continuous update will cause the values displayed on the user page top bar,

    rx.kiwisdr.com public listing, /staus query etc to update as the GPS returns a new location.

    In addition the updated values are used for FT8 and WSPR spots.

    For FT8/WSPR autorun when continuous update is active the grid is added to all the user

    lists where the decode count is shown. So for example in the user tab the previous

    "(N decoded)" becomes "(N decoded, GRID)". And when preemption is enabled for an autorun

    "(N decoded, preemptable)" becomes "(N decoded, GRID, pre)".

  SNR measurement:

    Measuring SNR on-demand will now work even though the periodic "SNR measurement interval"

    setting on the admin control tab is set to "disable". On-demand means the "Measure SNR now"

    button on the admin control tab or use of the "/snr?meas" control URL.

  Fixed the anti-HFDL monitoring countermeasure so it does not exclude the 80m ham band.
