I was lucky enough to purchase station 3012. It was originally installed in Germany and is now in the US. Unfortunately the station still appears (in some respects) on
https://www.lightningmaps.org/ as being in Germany. Is there someone here that can help update the data associated with my station to reflect where it is now?
Thanks so much!

Your 3012 is displaying on LMO... However, the LMO database still associates the station's 'sister' 3011 at the original user (I suspect) in Germany, with your user number. And vice versa. Perhaps because they have not removed 3012 from their Operator's Page... 3012 IS assigned to your 'User Number', but also crossed with the 'previous' owner. The database at LMO doesn't always follow the main Blitzortung updates, and Tobi MAY have to fix that manually.
Question:
Have you configured your station on your Blitzortung Operator's page?

If you DON'T have your operator's credentials, follow instructions there.
Suggest strongly that you also update your firmware to the latest: 10.5b1
Though 'beta' release, it fixes several glitches, and incorporates some much needed new features.

Make SURE you download the "BLUE" firmware, NOT 'red'.
I'm upgrading your Forum permissions to "Participant".
Welcome Aboard!

@Tobi is this something you could help me with?

I deleted the old station from the database.
I'm sorry about the wrong data. The station data on Lightningmaps is just not usable any more. The reasons for that are the server burning, wrong data from Blitzortung import and other problems. The code is still based on my completely outdated MyBlitzortung scripts. It just doesn't make sense for me to put any effort in repairing this. Instead there will be a complete rewrite sooner or later. I just hope it will be this year.

Hello to you.
I have a bit of the same problem with my 3021 station. I can't see these performances appear correctly on the lightningmaps site.
it's also a station that I just bought second hand, I already have another red 2421 station.
thank you all
Jean-Sébastien
