Building a red system

I would suggest that you use only "solid" wire for the antenna lead-in stubs and do not twist the leads from the ferrites. Any twisting introduces an inductance and capacitance which is not desirable. I simply used some 18-gauge solid wire I had on-hand. It was soldered to the ends of the leads and then attached to the terminal strip. Worked fine for me. Keep the lengths of the wires from the ferrites to the Amp board as short and as straight as possible.

Play with your amp gain settings until you get them optimized. Cutty has a great walk-through on adjusting the E-field on the WXFORUM. You'll find it in the Blitzortung section of the forum. 73's - Don
