Hi All,
I suspect I have something wrong in my schedules in settings.py. Maybe someone can help me figure out what to do to fix it.

I get these warnings over and over again:

I do get plenty of spots, but the warnings bother me, because it appears I messed up the settings.py somehow.
From settings.py:

`SCHEDULES = {
'*': {'kl7na': ['12|12+|12!', '15|15+|15!', '17|17+|17!', '20|20+|20!', '30|30+|30!', '40|40+|40!', '10|10+|10!|80|80+|80!']},

# simple used:
# '21:00-08:00': {'czsdr': [20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 160]},
# '08:00-14:30': {'czsdr': [10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30]},
# '14:30-21:00': {'czsdr': [10, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40]},

# band hops example:
# # four slots all FT8, the last one is rotate between 60-80-160 when localtime is 21:00-08:00
# '21:00-08:00': {'szsdr': [20, 30, '40~', '60|80|160']},    
# # when localtime is 08:00-12:00
# '08:00-12:00': {
#     # station no.1, slot1 is rotate between 20(FT8)-20(FT4), slot3 is 40(FT8)-40(FT4)
#     'szsdr': ['20|20+', 30, '40~|40+', '60|80|160'],

#     # station no.2, slot1 is rotate between 10-12-15-17-20-30-40 at mode FT8, then 20-30-40 at mode FT4
#     'czsdr': ['10|12|15|17|20|30|40|20+|30+|40+'],
# }

`
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hey Rob,

for me it looks like you are starting 7 receiving threads in parallel.
That results in having 7 listeners on the KiWi which it simply will not handle. At least not in default setup. I don't think that this is your intention anyway.

You should instead rotate between the bands and use maybe 2 receivers.

like:
'kl7na': ['12|12+|12!|15|15+|15!|17|17+|17!|20|20+|20!', '30|30+|30!|40|40+|40!|10|10+|10!|80|80+|80!']},
(didn't check that line, but you get the idea.)

This should use 2 receivers and rotate them. Try it. It may be not that efficient though.

Here is mine during daylight:
{'dg7lan': ['10|15|12|17|40+','20|30|40|20+|60','40!|30!|80!|20!']},

That uses 3 receivers which is already more than some people would like.

Best,
Andy

Thanks @doccodyblue. I think you are right. Let's close this.
