An article in 'Jane’s Intelligence Review' last year certainly points in that direction. A snippet of that article can be found in the link below. Written by one of Jane's editors it might carry some weight.

One of those less well known but excellent alternatives is directKiwi created by llinkz.

The program allows you to select any of the available Kiwi receivers on a map interface GUI and get the streaming audio signal, with a mouse click you can obtain the current SNR estimate as used to be available on Marco's IS0KYB website using his micro -kiwi-waterfall routine and it shows the not so frequently updated SNR measurements from rxfanel page.

I have been using this for quite some time to find the better performing Kiwi's bypassing the obviously manipulated voting method that occurred at sdr.hu

Thanks Powernumpty for your suggestions.

After connecting directly using an Ethernet cable between the Kiwi and a laptop the problem was still there.

Then upon closer inspection I noticed that in the additional html section of the admin web page I had entered a meta refresh instruction in order to limit refresh of data coming from an external website, which seemed to be a good idea at that time. So this problem - of my own making - is solved.
