  • Ethernet interface unreliable - very serious problem [fixed with better power supply cable]

    Get a new BBG from Seeed. They should never have been asking customers to be removing components. That is completely unprofessional behavior and I will be speaking to them about that.

  • Audio-underruns when using kiwisdr.local on WIndows 10 Pro - a solution

    jksjks
    Yes, I had another customer report this same situation a few days ago. I find it completely impossible to understand why this would make any difference to the quality of the connection.

    No, scratch that. It's Windows. It's Microsoft. I should completely expect a nonsensical situation like this. It goes right along with the hundreds of millions of person-hours Microsoft has caused humanity to waste dealing with their incompetence. Just yesterday I upgraded an old laptop to the newest release of Windows 10. The WiFi stopped working. I spent hours trying to figure it out. In the end the answer was that the manufacturer, hp, had used an internal WiFi card whose manufacturer was no longer updating the drivers. But there was no warning from anyone that the update would kill the WiFi. Hp says there is no solution except to buy a different PCIe WiFI card. Can you imagine that kind of response from a manufacturer?

    Apologies. Someone's morning coffee obviously hasn't taken effect yet. lol

    New from pryiom.org is rx.linkfanel.net, an alternative to sdr.hu/map that features color coded Kiwi status and a day/night map overlay.
    Thanks Pierre!

  • Demo of new user interface [now available in v1.154]

    jksjks

    Here is a demo of a new user interface under development. There is no antenna connected at present. http://kiwisdr.jks.com:8073/


    Changes:

    • New "option tab" bar that categorizes controls and status information.
    • Frequency history next/prev buttons. Up/down arrows to right of frequency entry field. Keyboard users: press return key when desired frequency appears. If no selection with return key is made within 3 seconds frequency field will return to current frequency. Mobile device users: this feature is not useable at the moment.
    • Added numeric value (in dBm) to S-meter.
    • Add URL parameter wf={0, off, 1, 1hz, s, slow, m, med, f, fast}. E.g. kiwisdr.local:8073/?wf=1hz
    • Removed “less buffering” and “compression” buttons until working.
