TDoA Help.

See the Kiwi forum for more information. If you are getting errors check
these common problems:

* Not zoomed-in far enough. The TDoA process will run out of memory or have
problems plotting the maps.

* Not all Kiwis used for sampling have good reception of target signal. Open
a connection to each Kiwi by double clicking on its marker to check the
reception or by clicking on the speaker icon in the sampling station list.

* Don't use Kiwis that are spaced too far apart (i.e. many thousands of km).

* Use minimum IQ-mode passband. Just enough to capture the signal. Use the
"p" and "P" keys to narrow/widen the passband.
For AM broadcast signals try a narrow passband that only passes the carrier.

Once you configure this extension, and click the "Submit" button,
information is sent to the kiwisdr.com server. The server then records 30
seconds of IQ data from the two to six sampling Kiwis specified. The
frequency and passband of this Kiwi will be used for all recording. So make
sure it is set correctly before proceeding. Always use the minimum necessary
passband and make sure it is symmetrical about the carrier. The current mode
(e.g. AM) is ignored as all recording is automatically done in IQ mode.
After sampling, the TDoA process will be run on the server. After it
finishes a result map will appear.

Additional maps may be viewed with the TDoA result menu. You can pan and
zoom the resulting maps and click submit again after making any changes.
Or use the rerun button to get new maps without resampling.
The checkboxes exclude stations during a rerun.

To begin zoom into the general area of interest on the Kiwi map (note the
"quick zoom" menu). Click on the desired blue Kiwi sampling stations. If
they are not responding or have had no recent GPS solutions an error message
will appear.

Important: the position and zooming of the Kiwi map determines the same for
the resulting TDoA maps. Double click on the blue markers (or speaker icon)
to open that Kiwi in a new tab to check if it is receiving the target signal
well. You can also manually edit the sampling station list (white fields).

You can click on the green map markers to set the frequency/passband of some
well-known reference stations. The known locations of these stations will be
shown in the result maps so you can see how well it agrees with the TDoA
solution. Practice with VLF/LF references stations as their ground-wave
signals usually give good results.

Start with only two sampling stations and check the quality of the solution
before adding more.

Of course you need three or more stations to generate a localized solution.
