that's possible.. it may be that you have too much gain, low threshold, and are sending poor data.. If your're aiming at 'distance', the near strikes may be 'distorted'... it's also possible to go into brief interference mode with near cell activity.... Remember, this is a 'network'... no station really stands alone...
I turned down the gain and that solved the close-in detection issue. But.....now I have to manually turn up the gain to contribute to longer-distance locations.
I do understand no station really stands alone. Thanks.

I had to learn to accept the interference mode with close storms, until they pass... and let the network stations do the locating.... some of this 'quirkiness' may be resolved to a degree with "Blue"... but the system actually works this way... there are more 'high' frequencies in nearby cells, more data, and if our gain etc is too high there may be such 'distortion' and so much 'impulse' energy that the system discards the signals, even if it doesn't trigger interference. The opposite is true for 'long distance' skywaves.. which are generally of the lower frequency energy components... over time I reached a compromise with my 'normal' settings, and don't operate my system in 'auto' for example... accepting interference mode with nearby cells, in order to produce quality from, say, 200km to about 1500km... other stations take care of the rest.(2015-05-23, 00:18)Cutty Wrote:(2015-05-22, 23:39)Geewizard Wrote: I run station 1187.

Ah, ok then. thanks.

Just a request, far down on the list of priorities... If it would eventually be possible to add markers to the lightningmaps.org realtime map, that would be nice

Hi,
Just here to say that the new version is not really nice.
This quickly becomes a mess when wanting to show the lines to the stations.
The old version with only a dot for participating stations was way better.

Agree 100% "not really nice" is diplomatic
... "Horrible" would be my description.

I'm not sure what the mess is for your map, but when I ran the detail on both stations and the lines up to the maximum, it was confusing and the participation lines were hard to see in the violet/purple that they are.
I found stations on next to top setting and lines on the very first setting is extremely pleasing to me, reminiscent of the 'old days' when it was first implemented.
Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I like that setting for me.
Just wish it would stay "stuck" when I exited an came back later. But hey, for what this darned thing does, I'm willing to stand on my head to get the data and maps!

@Clément/Cutty: I don't understand the problem. Can you explain it please?

Well, here's a simple example from a few moments ago .. attached... Purple is bad, and too much 'previous' stroke persistence...

Plus, all stations are shown (dots). Not only those which detected the strike.
Thus, it is not convenient for the mouseouver.
