If your KrakenSDR is set to output multiple VFOs, you can select which VFO gets displayed on the map by using the 'VFO Frequency' drop-down box. For each VFO frequency, there should be one entry in the drop-down box that can be selected. -## Options and Features - -### Main configure button (blue gear icon at the top) - -**Heatmap Size:** Total size from edge to edge in kilometers of the heatmap grid. Set this appropriately for your expected search space. Too large and you will lose resolution. Too small and you may have difficulting visualizing the lobe intersections. - -**Heatmap Resolution:** Number of cells per axis on the grid. A higher value can result in more precise TX localization. But setting it too high can make calculations too slow. Maximum resolution is currently capped at 250. - -It's important to note that setting a smaller heatmap size naturally results in a higher resolution grid. For example, if you set your grid to 100km and resolution to 500, each grid cell has a size of 100,000/500 = 200 x 200 meters. - -Now if you set the grid size to 10km, each cell has a size of 20 x 20 meters. - - - -### Double Click Menu - -If you double-click on the map a menu will pop up. - - - -**Add Marker:** Adds a reference marker on the map.

As long as your KrakenSDR is online, and has the KrakenSDR showing green in the cloud mapper, data is constantly being recorded. Currently, data is recorded for a week, anything older than a week is deleted. @@ -159,14 +124,49 @@ If the file contains multi-VFOs, select the VFO you are interested in.

This is useful for verifying a KrakenSDR setup, for example by driving around your target area with a beacon and GPS, or using a weather balloon radiosonde. -A Python script that shows an example of how to upload data to the server can be found at https://github.com/krakenrf/krakensdr_docs/blob/main/misc_scripts/sondehub_krakenmap.py. The script uses the SondeHub API to receive GPS coordinates of a weather balloon. The GPS coordinates are then forwarded to the Kraken Pro Cloud server. +A Python script that shows an example of how to upload data to the server can be found at https://github.com/krakenrf/krakensdr_docs/blob/main/misc_scripts/sondehub_krakenmap.py.
