EDIT: Before someone complains. I mixed up some numbers. The link above is not my station. But I stick to 3 antennas in the next live. Back to efficiency ...

ATTENTION!!!
Hi All, Whoever the above Station does belong to. The gain settings are wrong, there appears to be an extra 0 on the 10 making it 16*100 on both channels shown!
My views on high gains are well enough known. 
Whilst this is obviously a mistake, I think this station is still trying to use far too much gain!
I have yet to see a situation where anything over 10 was useful, except for generating problems and extra signals that are not lightning.
If you are one of these stations that insists on High gains and low thresholds, Please, Please try out very reduced gains, these boards are extremely sensitive and already well below the ambient noise floor in most situations, therefore increased gain only equals reduced signal to noise ratio, splatter caused by overload mixing products and other problems.
Spread the word! Make someone your Buddy, you help them and they help you, and when not much is happening you can "chat" via email to someone that understand what you are talking about.
Regards,

Brian.
