We had a spell of thunder in Central Scotland on 3rd May and the Real Time Lightning page indicated the strikes near me, which tied in well with the sounds. However they soon disappeared off the display, and even selecting the -24hr option did not bring them back, though I can still see the earlier ones to the east before they reached here.

I've noticed this before, strikes that were picked up in real time but then disappeared from the -1h -24h and archive pages.

Dear all,

we have a few PCB 22.0 and PCB22.1 test boards with which we tested the need for some components. It is a minimal version of a detector based on System Blue with only two amplifiers for magnetic antennas. Some SMD components were manually soldered onto these boards. It is a fully usable detector that is equivalent to System Blue in standard operation. This variant will be developed to offer a cheaper alternative entry option for participants.

The price for PCB 22.0 with preamplifier PCB 23.1 is 149 euros plus shipping. The price for PCB 22.1 with preamplifier PCB 23.1 is 199 euros plus shipping. PCB 22.2 will be available from mid-July with preamplifier PCB 23.1 for 249 euros.

Please write me a private message, if you are interested.

Bonjour, 
Je suis intéressé par l'achat d'un "system blue".

Pouvez vous me dire quand ils seront à nouveau disponibles

Bien cordialement

Gabriel

I've noticed that on my controller's Status Page there is a graphic showing Received/ % good/ % sent over Minute/Hour/Day.

I find this very useful to see if I'm getting hits and the system is working.

I notice that after a few minutes this graphic stops updating.

If I restart my web browser (any browser) after it stops updating it actually doesn't show up.

The only way I can get the graphic back is to reboot the controller.

I'm just curious if this is normal behaviour or if it may be indicative of something wrong with settings or my controller.

Thanks,
Robert

I purchased a system #3024 from a gentleman in Germany.

It arrived, I have plugged it in and it seems to be working, however I have noticed that on the lightningmaps.org my system never gets a hit - i.e. I can see my station but I never have any lines nor a "green dot" saying my station has been used by the system to updated the web interface.

Since my system was orginally in Europe and is now in North America (Toronto) is there anything I need to get it up and running properly in it's new location?

Thanks,
Robert

Hola @All!

Will this seapate available Blue H-Field Preamp work with Red?

Hello I have just purchased a second hand blue station in addition to my red 2421 and I cannot get the data on the lightningmaps.org site, it switches to the data of my red. 
And second point more hardwear, I I have channel 1C which doesn't seem to work (I changed the cable between the amp: it's the same thing and changing the ferite same thing) does anyone have an idea?

Many thanks

Jean-Sébastien station 2421, 3021

Hi everyone, i’m trying to figure out a feature for lightingmaps.org. I remember at one point you could drop a pin marker on the map type in a radius/diameter and it would list out the 10 or so most recent strikes for that area. Is this still a feature and if so where is it?

I recently purchased station 1613.  The instructions indicate that only new stations will have an account request link.  Can I get a participant account created and the station moved to my account?

The station was in Australia but is now in North America, I see it seems to be connecting to both regions and reading this seems not unusual to connect to more than one region but some numbers seem a little 'off' ( the used/involved numbers seemed high in Oceania and low in the US for a few days but that is now shifting ).  I've also been improving the antenna/antenna location but the ramp in signals used seems in some ways to be more effected by time its been running?

Lightingmaps seems to have some slight oddities:
https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzortun...on_id=2315 
  Seems to always show 0 strokes & 0 signals, 0% ratio

https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en#g...dl=9;dc=0;
  Doesn't seem to have a marker for the station (are those using the settings from the owner for location or the GPS data from the station?)

Excited to have a station and keep improving its reception / learning more about the signals and processing.  This is a really cool project, thanks!

Hi,
I would have some questions about the meaning of some fields in the files we can download to access to the raw data.

I read the documentation on the Compendium page but I noticed some differences :
- the field "polarity", expected to be -1 or +1 is always 0 ?
- what is the meaning of the optional "status" field ? (which appears to be 0, 1 or 2)
- the status of the signal, explained to be in 3 bits, is always equals to 1, 2, 4, 9 or 12, so it's a 4-bits code and don't know the meaning of it ?

- When downloading archived data, there is a kmz file which is only 20 bytes, so it's empty ?

Thanks in advance if someone could explain me.
