Question about station signal quality and too many pulses

[jakestopher]

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently set up my Blitzortung station, and it seems to be working fine overall, but I keep noticing that my station often shows “too many pulses” and gets flagged with poor signal quality on the LightningMaps status page.
A few things I’m unsure about:

• Is this usually caused by incorrect antenna placement (too much local noise), or could it be a configuration issue in the controller?
  
• Would adjusting the gain settings help reduce the number of invalid pulses without missing actual strikes?
  
• Is there a recommended way to identify the main source of local interference?
  

I’m still learning how to properly tune the station, so any tips or examples from experienced users would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
