Station Signal Loss?

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Station Signal Loss?

Post by Grimers »

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any idea on what happened to my data last night (please see below image)? I've tried to reload the data, but the same issue occurs. I assume it's due to a loss in signal between the ISS and console. I replaced the ISS battery a few weeks ago, so I don't think it's that (there's no low battery warning showing on the console).

What would potentially need replacing/fixing?

Cheers,

Will

How far away is the iss to your console?

Is the console in the best possible place for signal reception?

Following on from Toxic’s reply I know the VP2 has software that shows the quality of the signal and how many successful and missed connections. Check the manual for details on how to display them.
