what is the RF sensitivity setting? (MB Pro) **solved**

[frogfoot]

The wiki states to initially set the RF sensitivity to -90db, however I cant find any further reference to it, should it just be left at -90db or should it be brought down to say average signal strength -10 db

Just google it

Meteostick needs selection of a RF band to work with. Please select the setting that matches your geography. In addition you also have to define an RF sensitivity. Please make sure that that is about 10db more sensitive than signal level from incoming data. When you see data coming in on "Live Data" tab with -70db for example, then -80db is a good sensitivity level. Increasing sensitivity of the receiver too much will collect tons of RF noise which will disturb picking up valid data significantly. For normal Davis operation "narrow" bandwidth setting is best. If you want to work with signals retransmitted from your Vantage console, please switch to "normal" to limit dropped packets. Rain bucket size should also match the size used in your rain sensor.
