Efficiency
#86
Hi Pasense, I agree, I had my station, whilst I was in the initial set up, with only the "E" field functioning. I also set up the "H" channels individually.
I was still registering strokes and was able to optimise each channel, without the confusing array of squiggly lines that are present, when all the channels are activated at once.

Having said that, whilst in your first example, the Green signal is very clean and well defined, in your second example you have far too much gain!
The Red channel is flat topped and chopped and even the Green and Magenta channels have signs of distortion products.
Even in low noise situations, I believe that gains over 10 are very rarely needed and for signals within 2,000 km range, gains of 8*5 or even 5*5 will produce excellent results.
Reducing the gain actually makes the system more sensitive, because you are not amplifying the noise floor as much and therefore have a better signal to noise ratio.
I have made this suggestion to several stations now and they will confirm that their stroke rates and their locating rates are now much more efficient and their effectivity is more constant.
I know that you are in a special situation due to your location, but I would like to suggest that you try this for a few days and compare the results between various levels of lower gain and higher threshold levels.
You may be surprised and if not, it is only the matter of a few seconds to return to your present settings.
Respectfully yours,

Brian. Idea Smile
