RED Kit for sale |

Hello all,
I decided to put my spare RED kit up for sale. I'm running a Green station 417 in Crete and ordered the RED kit last summer. I didn't find the time yet to build the kit and after the announcement about BLUE I guess that I can wait for few months and go to the next generation.
The kit is complete with 20cm loops, Amplifier PCB is 12 vers. 3c (8/2013) and Controller 10 ver. 4 (11/2013) as it gets delivered for Region 1 (Europe). I think that except the power supply everything fits any other region. I'll sell at cost, i.e. the amount that I was charged from Blitzortung plus the shipment fees to the buyer.
If interested please leave a message.
Thanks
George
Sorry I meant 20cm ferrites

Different data on the maps |

We currently make some experiments with a new computation schems. We will also change some internal data structures. I am sorry, but this is the reason that some maps already show the new computations, others show the old computations.
Please Do not care about the differences for a while, in a few days, everything will fit together. Please do not ask anything about the differences or changes now. If the system is running in a stable state, I am available to answer questions.

accessing web page interface |

I'm operating a new station with everything apparently going okay. Could someone please explain how to access one's web interface? My browser is Mac Safari. I find the IP on the LCD of my controller. Do I use the first line of the IP only? Do I need to use the subnet mask and gateway, also? So far, using the first line of the IP found on the LCD I am not reaching the web interface. Does one have to enter this while inside blitzortung.org someplace? So far I am just trying to use my Mac Safari browser. Any guidance appreciated.

Hello to everyone. I just completed my red h-field kit and i had some questions.
1) I had 2 ferrite rod 200mm antennas. Should i cut their cables and solder them to new thickest ones??
2)Do i need any special settings in the controller? I have it in automatic mode.
Thanks in advance..

how accurate is this ntp |

i believe very accurate or let's say extremely precise.
otherwise the calculation for the location of the lightning strokes could not be done.
of course i switched on the NTP server functionality. as with every watch one wants have it running very exactly. even if it is in a way of precision i never can use it. i configured my solaris server to use my system red as stratum 1. additional i configured 2 stratum 1 server near my location in vienna with "noselect". as i know from the past it is always bad if delay and especially jitter is high. and one additional from the location where the time is made ( braunschweig :-) also with "noselect". i also have a DCF77 which has per definition a big systemic error. i adjusted this with the "fudge" statement to be _near_ the GPS signal. when i look i have most of the time a situation like this:
PHP Code: # ntpq -pn remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== +192.168.241.93 .DCFa. 1 u 62 1024 377 0.743 -0.706 4.345 *192.168.241.190 .GPS. 1 u 365 1024 377 0.917 -0.001 0.139 192.53.103.108 .PTB. 1 u 418 1024 377 46.284 -8.819 0.673 178.189.127.147 .ATOM. 1 u 996 1024 377 21.794 -5.281 0.512 131.130.251.107 .PPS. 1 u 205 1024 377 18.983 -6.134 12.341
my server takes the time from system red (*192.168.241.190) and has a typically offset between 6 and 8 ms against the others stratum 1. that means that system red is in average 7 ms in the future against the others. unfortunately the "fudge" statement works only for reference clocks and not for the system red i configured in my server which is stratum 2.
i don't know how many of you are using system red as ntp server. any feedback about experience from you about this topic is welcome.
maybe the future brings a possibility to enter an offset for the ntp server functionality. but i know it's not the primary function of this system.
finally i want to say thank you to Egon and others for this great project.
kind regards
hans

bandwidth hog |

My controller has suddenly become a bandwidth hog, especially on the upload side.
I've also noticed that the server is not seeing strokes but the map is showing the station is logging strikes. When I click on the red dot on the left, it shows that the station is not active. However, when I actually look at the controller directly, it is working great.
Anyone else having this problem?
Station 1218

Schematic help |

I've completed RED system boards received a week ago. Loaded the software and got an OK from the programmer (after updating the ST firmware). All of the LEDs are appropriate and the Ethernet controller flashes appropriately. But screen is dark. Checking the module supply voltage on pin 2 gives me about 2.3 volts. On pin 3 sort of varies, but positive rather than the expected negative. I do have 5 volts on the back lite supply pin17. These measurements with or without the module DIP122-5NLED installed.
This is PCB10 ver4 11/2013. The pdf instructions Figure 43 with the schematic (for ver3) is blank. I can probably follow traces and do a schematic, but pin 2 doesn't seem to have a trace to my eyes and it would be a lot easier with a schematic.
Anyone help? Thanks,
