  Ferrite, leads
Posted by: de37421 - 2018-09-11, 18:21 - Forum: Hardware, Software, Lightning Physics - Replies (3)

I am new, I just got the blue kit.

The ferrite antenna has two bare copper wires.  One wire has an overhand knot, I assume it is to signify that wire is different from the non knotted wire.
Does it make any difference which wire goes to solder pad +1 and which goes to solder pad -1? I read elsewhere that the loop antennas can be attached either way so I think these probably don't matter either.

Concerning the GPS antenna, does it make any difference whether the antenna is amplified or not?  I have ordered one with 25db gain.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KDH...UTF8&psc=1
but it is inexpensive and I can get another if preferable.

Thanks.

  Am I a good candidate?
Posted by: jchonig - 2018-09-02, 13:17 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (5)

I received my invitation for a System Blue and am doing my homework.  I live in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.

I am 3km from antenna towers broadcasting on 1160kHz at 5000W, is that an issue?

My house and pasture is surrounded by electric fence for sheep and dogs, closest it comes to the house is about 15-20m.  I get arching when wires touch and when vegatation grows onto the fence.  Will I be able to compensate for interference this close and still be a useful contributor?

Thanks.

Hello the list,
       I received an invitation yesterday to buy a system blue and would like to order using PayPal.
Can anyone give me the instructions on how to pay? I need to know what email or Paypal user i.d. to send the payment to.

Thank you

  New dynamic map
Posted by: JROST - 2018-08-31, 11:49 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (12)

Hello all,

I just saw that on the site a new dynamic map had appeared.

It is a flat map with the administrative division of the communes.

Why not add this to the previous one that contained the relief?

Best regards

Information Unassembled System Blue for sale on eBay
Posted by: mwaters - 2018-08-24, 21:59 - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (8)

If you're really desperate for a System Blue and willing to pay the reserve price (over $380?) and accept the risk ...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/223114526745?ul...fresh=true

Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)! He does not currently accept returns. I am not affiliated with this and know nothing about it except what the seller claims there.

If it doesn't sell it, then perhaps he will either relist it and/or change the price and terms.

Maybe I should set up a GoFundMe page so I can afford to buy it!  Big Grin

  Full-screen switch for URL line?
Posted by: Attila - 2018-08-21, 20:42 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (6)

I notice that a lot of the map parameters can be controlled on the URL line (latitude, longitude, zoom, cloud cover, radar, etc).  Is there one to control full-screen on/off?  I'd like it to display full-screen as the default by just passing a URL to the browser.

  Webmap Service
Posted by: alfreddj - 2018-08-16, 12:48 - Forum: Website, Maps and Applications - Replies (3)

Dear Blitzortnung,

I was wondering whether you can enable a WMS webmap service to your website.
It would be useful to integrate your maps with our disaster risk portals.
Note that you can also integrate our services on drought into your maps.


Thanks
