The kit is fully assembled and comes with 2 matched, original Blitzortung ferrites and a GPS antenna.  All you will need to get it working are the connecting leads and a 5V power supply.

The price is €300 + the cost of postage from NSW Australia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. Edit: 'Please include your email address so I can reply.'

I have just setup my new station #3242 and are having trouble linking my account to the forum.

Would I be able to get some help to link the accounts so that I can access the participant section of the forum.

Thanks in advance

I connected the 3224 receiver online a few days ago and everything was working perfectly until yesterday when it started having GPS problems.
I've tried configuring several speeds on the serial port and it's not working. My receiver is a Blue Basic PCB 22.x. Can anyone tell me what I can do? I'm thinking of buying another GPS antenna in case it's faulty, but I doubt it.

Thank you]]>

I’m considering setting up my first H-field station in a fairly dense urban area, and I’m trying to understand what kind of antenna placement would give the best results.
My main concern is electrical noise. I live in an apartment building with plenty of nearby power lines, elevators, and general broadband interference. I’ve read that proper antenna orientation and distance from buildings can make a big difference, but I’m still uncertain about what is “good enough” before I invest in a kit.
A few questions:

1. How far from a building wall or metal balcony should an H-field antenna ideally be placed to reduce noise pickup?
   
2. Does height matter more than horizontal distance from electrical sources?
   
3. Would placing the antenna on a rooftop help, or can rooftop equipment (HVAC, solar inverters) actually make interference worse?
   
4. Are there any practical noise-testing steps I can do before buying hardware?
   

I’d really appreciate any tips from members who run stations in similarly noisy environments. Looking forward to learning more and hopefully contributing to the network soon!]]> I’m new to the forum and still learning how the Blitzortung/LightningMaps system works, so I hope this is an appropriate place to ask.

Station 3227 here. Would it be possible to upgrade my status to "participant"? Thank you in advance; I'm looking forward to contributing to the network.
I have two separate logins (one from long ago to enter the hardware list and one recent when i got the unit), both with the username Asobig en the same password, but i can't access the 'closed' forums.

My question is this - and please if you have something to contribute, talk about independent observations to calculated results.  Not about "here's the math for the calculated result"

How is  accuracy measured with this platform?  In simple terms - if there is a set of data that represents real actual strikes  or cloud-to-cloud - position and time that we've used to validate?]]>
