Geo-location on KiwiSDR

[ka7u]

This Kiwirecorder.py is very nice! Thank you!
So this makes it look like I'm in Antarctica when I use the recorder.

grep -nri antarctica .

./kiwifax.py:372: self.set_geo('Antarctica')
./kiwirecorder.py:46: self.set_geo('Antarctica')

So I can edit it to show KA7U for my call sign, but I wonder if the recorder might use another method to determine geo-location?

Hi Ron,

I am happy to hear that someone finds use for this script besides me.

As for the location, it can easily be made a command line option so you don't have to edit it manually each time. Throwing in a GeoIP database querying would be too much work for this, I believe.

If you are willing to submit a pull request, please do.

I'm not prepared to pull and submit changes to this code. Wish I was!

I think I have fixed this problem. There was a bug in the Kiwi code that does a geolocation lookup on the connecting ip source address. The lookup would fail randomly base on the value of an uninitialized stack variable, so the behavior was unpredictable.
