KeymasterHello,
The country code has been updated for all your three units,
You can see the data in real time on:

Keymaster@Wolferl is right, and his comment made me look at something else. I don’t know how I checked this first, because I had it on my mind: https://www.uradmonitor.com/tools/dashboard-04/?open=11000007
The duty cycle is too high. The firmware reboots the unit when the duty cycle reaches 80% . So this is why it appeared as having network issues, the reboot happened right after Ethernet initialisation (including DHCP lease), just to take everything all over again.
This is not the true duty cycle received by the switching transistor because there is a second blocking transistor that quick closes the gate so it is not dangerous for the parts even if the value seems high.The model A doesn’t have a voltage multiplier, so the inverter works harder to jump from 5V to 380V needed for the tube. The ferrite core’s permeability is affected by temperature, but I see the weather is chill there. Replacing the inductor would help, but let’s put software first: I can provide a modified firmware that lowers the switching frequency and achieves higher voltage with less effort. It will also remove It approaches the audible spectrum though, as we are already at about 15.5KHz
Please check your mail.
Thanks both for your help and patience!

KeymasterNo problem. Can you run a few tests on a different network?

KeymasterThanks for your help on this @Wolferl,
It is possible the tube goes into oscillation due to a misbehaving capacitor, called “the compensation capacitor”. Normally all A3 units have it set for 150pF, linked on the type of Geiger tube used (SI29BG), but in this case the value should be bigger to prevent these oscillations that result in high counts.
Either this, or the tube is faulty going in avalanche (unlikely).
You can either send the unit back so I can have a look at it, or change the capacitor yourself based on my indications. I’ll be happy to accommodate any of the two options.

KeymasterIt’s just a basic HTTP call, with a TCP/IP socket opening port 80 on the remote server.
Is it possible to try it on a different network just as a quick test to rule out some of the possible issues?
entaro
KeymasterI agree with Bjorn, the http status code should be 200 . Without that, the watchdog will keep on rebooting your unit.
The next two numbers show the successful packets sent per the total packets sent.entaro
KeymasterPlease drop me a quick mail with this on support@uradmonitor.com . I will try to assist you with the problem remotely, if we can’t do it, then you should send it back.

KeymasterMy pleasure, glad all is ok, thanks for the update!

KeymasterThank you! That was set based on community request.

KeymasterHi Urs, I set the command on the server, it should be applied the first time the units communicate with the server. Please confirm once they do and you see this in place.
entaro
KeymasterIt can be done via the server side. There will be an option on the dashboard for that so you can configure it yourself, but it is not yet implemented. So I can do it manually for the time being.
What ID do you want to be muted?

KeymasterThank you Wolferl,
What other feature would you like to see on the front page?

KeymasterHello, I am happy to report that Radiation has been selected as default view. There is also a label under the map, to provide more information on what sensor is presented.
Please test and provide some feedback.
