Meteobridge PRO spontaneously stops transmitting data

[c0by]

Hello,

I recently acquired a used Meteobridge Pro Red.
Unfortunately I have to notice, that in some intervals no more data is transferred.

In the log it says the following. Just like that during operation.

Does anyone have any idea?

What is the distance from the ISS to the MBPro? It appears to not be receiving data from the ISS? You could try changing the RF Sens to -85 or -80db but if the distance is large then not much is going to fix reception?

[c0by]

The distance is about 60m with an signal strength of -60 / -80 dB. Same Issue with direct connection via console.

Did changing RF sensitivity to -80db solve the issue (which to my experience would do)?

[c0by]

Why -80db, could you explain please? I will test it.

[admin]

-95db might catch too much rf noise so that the receiver is "blinded".
