Didn't mean to offend anyone - I'm just wasn't certain if things were working correctly. I noticed the same issue with map.blitzortung.org - my device never seems to get a hit - so was wondering if something on my end was wrong.
Thanks for letting me know it's working.

OOPs... Sorry Robert... if my reply seemed a bit 'terse' or otherwise,...... I apologize, I guess I can come across as 'snarky' sometimes... without meaning to... was in a hurry and running behind this morning...
Yeah, Tobi hopes to revitalize that site processing at some point, simply hasn't got time...
I assume you have ferrites on the H fields, and possibly using the supplied 'mini' probe for E field...
I don't know what the core dimensions are that came with your kit, would 10 x 120mm, perhaps, sound correct? ...depends on the source, and your 3024, like my 3020 test system, is an 'outside source' Blue 19.5 clone.
The reason that antenna info is important: every 'antenna family' has certain delay and response ballpark parameters,
and the system takes that 'generic' blueprint into account when analyzing signal parameters... It already knows what
responses are programmed into a systems controller, depending on gain, trigger, standard filtering, ... so the only
response variable is the antenna itself... most crucial for the H fields obviously. An 'incorrect' or missing antenna parameter
could determine whether certain signals even become 'valid', much less progress to 'locating'...
