  • Obtaining date/time from the Kiwi's GPS [fixed in v1.417]

    v1.410,411  October 7, 2020
        GPS time-of-day (TOD) correction now works even if the Kiwi date is set incorrectly.
            Previously the Kiwi week day number had to match GPS for TOD correction to work.
            The GPS code currently does not know how to set the Kiwi date because it does
            not parse the GPS almanac.

  • v1.403: colormap improvements, multiple DRM schedule databases

    Alright, something has come up and I'm not going to have time to work on the problems with aperture auto mode for a while. So in today's update I've added an "initial aperture" setting to the admin page config tab:
    v1.409  October 3, 2020
        Added "Initial aperture" setting to admin page config tab. This setting determines
        which waterfall colormap aperture mode, manual or auto, is used as the default for
        "first time" visitors to your Kiwi. More precisely, for any connection to your Kiwi
        where the "last aperture set" cookie has not been previously set ("first time"
        visitors are a subset of that definition).

    An example of the new DRM schedule format is attached below. This condensed/overlapped view with larger font should benefit small-screen devices. You can click/tap on the green/pink timelines even if covered by the station name. Also don't forget the new schedule database selection menu at bottom left of the control panel. Our friends at drmrx.org have been working to improve their format.
    v1.407  September 22, 2020
        Keyboard shortcuts:
            Space bar now mutes in addition to existing 'm' key.
            '!' toggles the waterfall aperture manual/auto menu.
            'b' 'B' scrolls through the "select band" menu. The frequency update is immediate.
            'e' 'E' scrolls through the "extension" menu. The extension open is delayed
                slightly so you can scroll through the menu to the desired entry.
                These keys can be used while an extension is open to select a new extension.
                As always hit the escape key to close the open extension.
    
    v1.404,405,406  September 20, 2020
        DRM extension:
            Condense schedule format:
                Station name now overlaps timeline.
                Links are now info buttons.
        
        Aperture auto mode no longer disturbs manual mode WF max/min settings.
        Expand range of SdrDx colormap a little.
        In stat tab status message replace sdr.hu with rx.kiwisdr.com
