Finally got my Blue system up and running here in Asheville NC (Station 1542).
Looking for a little help.
1) Is there a definitive guide to "tuning" the system. I seem to get a lot of signals, but very few are used in locating strikes. I have tried manually tuning but in the dark as to what the best approach is.
2) When I assembled by system this weekend I noticed the assembly guide had changed. Now it calls for an auxiliary voltage regulator (PCB 21). How do I go about getting one.

Hi Junebug,
It is nice to have you with us.
1) There is no specific guide to optimizing the System Blue. Every location has its own local noise patterns, which requires you to experiment with the settings to find what works best for your station. I would start by running it in manual mode, high-pass filters disabled and with a gain of 10*10 (maybe?) on the H-field channels. Look for noise-triggered signals on the Signals page. Try to keep those signals at a minimum.
It has taken me over a month to fine optimize my own station and I am finally starting to see the results
So far I have swapped the power supply, grounded the station, shielded the ferrites, installed the low-pass filters and placed the station in a remote location with minimal noise.2) Egon said he would send every System Blue owner an email regarding the voltage regulator during the past weekend, check your email.
