Order Question

[chevyman142000]

Hello Jeff,

Basically everything is written in the "quick setup guide": http://de.blitzortung.org/Compendium/Doc...B_20_1.pdf
Some parts have polarity (or kind of) and need to placed in the right way. There are marks on the PCB.

For the parts everything is listed in http://de.blitzortung.org/Compendium/Ord...PCB_20.pdf

The basic set (1-18) is what you need to install a detector (you may only order the boards (1) and buy the rest to local vendors).*

The rest is in option:
19: ferrite antennas, but you can build your own loops (some info in the documentation)
20-21: filter option which is olny necessary when there is strong interferences
23-30: housing option, if you want the install the controller in a box.

* Note that you will need some extra parts: a GPS antenna with SMA connector, USB power supply (5V/1A), connection cable (Cat 5e for LAN and H-filed pre-amp, coax with F connectors for E-filed pre-amp).

This post is exactly what is written there: //forum.blitzortung.org/showthread.php?tid=1656&pid=11437#pid11437

Thank you very much for the reply! That clears things up a bit for me, but I do have a few additional questions. You say 19 through 30 are optional. Do I not need an antenna? Does 1-18 have enough of an antenna to work at a basic level? From what I can tell everything else is there except some Cat 5e (which I have a box of) to put this together? I think I'm only worried about the actual building part. After that I'm not worried about working through the web interface, etc.

Again, thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it! I also appreciate that you didn't respond with a bunch of negativity. I have honestly held off on posting this for quite some time as I was worried I would receive a lot of negative replies.

Jeff
