Efficiency

Hi Micha, Using full auto is not a good idea, it is better to set the station for its normal environment and then use "Auto adapt to noise" and the "Amplitude filters."
Even in India the lightning is going to be the biggest signal within a reasonable area and the number of station is growing, slowly but surely.
Low to medium gains and a reasonable threshold without going too much into "interference mode" except for very close lightning should probably still be the aim, rather than trying for distance.
Even here in Europe, there are far to many stations that seem to think that setting the gains high and the thresholds low and running in "Auto" will be O.K.
Looking at the better managed stations, They seldom have gains above 8*8 and many are even lower. The threshold should seldom be below 100.
This is a good tool for helping to find a good balance, between signals sent and strokes recorded.

The best stations tend towards the top and the left and the "worst" stations towards the right hand side and the bottom right corner.
This does depend on the conditions at the time and there will be some movement, however some stations appear to be consistently doing well within the middle area.
I hope that you find this helpful. I look forward to seeing a new station always, but the first one in India will be special. Smile

Brian. Smile

With Europe and North America now moving into the quieter time of the year, now is a good time to try and get the best possible figures for signals to strokes,
If there is no Lightning near you then your station should not be sending thousand of signals per hour Exclamation Idea Dodgy Dodgy Lightning ...
