Turn-key System Red For Sale - H-Field and E-Field - SOLD - Donald.Froula - 2021-09-10 The system has been SOLD. Price reduced to $400.00 USD, plus shipping Hello, all, Due to downsizing, I have recently decommissioned my System Red station and am offering it for sale. The system includes: - System Red main controller board with STM32F4 Discovery Board and LCD - The LCD gives full display and control of operating conditions, unlike System Blue. - Controller board mounted in heavy-duty enclosure with transparent lid and two externally-mounted control buttons - An AS3935 board installed in main controller enclosure for integrated independent detection of local lightning strikes - A new spare STM32F4 Discovery Board - A remote GPS antenna with SMA connector (an onboard GPS antenna is also on the main board). - An H-field amplifier in a heavy-duty enclosure with transparent top. - The H-field amplifier Includes a stereo line-level jack for audio monitoring lightning signals after amp processing. - The H-field amplifier connects to the main controller via a shielded Ethernet cable, included. - Two H-field ferrite antenna rods (of my own design - see https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=19914.0). - Ferrite antennas are mounted at right angles in a PVC shielded enclosure. - The enclosure has proper slits in the shielding to eliminate near-field interference. - The ferrite rods are padded in the enclosure for shock resistance. - Two spare ferrite antenna rods are included. - An E-field antenna and preamp board in a weatherproof radome enclosure are included. - The E-field main amplifier and control board is also included. No enclosure. - The E-field pre-amp connects to the main amplifier with a 75 ohm TV-style coaxial cable with "F" connectors (not included). - The E-field amplifier and control board connects to the main controller with a shielded Ethernet cable (included). - A 5 volt power supply to power the entire system is included. - All original construction manuals and documentation included. See a PDF with detailed images at: https://projectmf.net/Blitzortung_Station.pdf (large file!) Also YouTube video for an overview of an identical system, built for another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpKbZC1DEp4 This station operated as #681 on the Blitzortung network for years. It was consistently one of the best-performing stations in the US. All circuit boards are professional soldered and assembled by me, an electrical engineer and ham operator for 40 years. See images. Asking $550.00 plus shipping for all, tested and working. Note: The system will be restored to factory default before shipping I will snapshot the operating parameters from the Web interface, if desired. Contact: dfroula@sbcglobal.net if interested. I prefer US sales, due to international shipping uncertainties. Regards, Don Froula RE: Turn-key System Red For Sale - H-Field and E-Field - acores - 2021-09-17 Dear Donald Froula, I hope this finds you well. I'm interested in having one more lightning detector in the Azores, in order to achive 4 detection points in the Archipelago. I belong to a regional project named Anticiclone dos Açores, and we are a non-profit informal organization. Our main goal is to freely deliver information to people feel safer. So, I just ask you to contact me if you were available to discuss other prices, in case there is no buyer at $550. Thank you so much.
