How to calibrate new station data to match the lightning map? - roseblack - 2025-09-10
Hello everyone,
I just installed a Blitzortung station, and I find that the data sent to the map sometimes does not match the neighboring stations exactly. I would like to ask if there is a way to calibrate or optimize the settings (e.g., gain, threshold, antenna direction) to get more accurate lightning location results? Also, is there any recommended tool or documentation for beginners to calibrate stations?
Thanks, everyone, in advance!
