Set appropriately for your expected search space. + **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 offline logfile calculations too slow. Maximum resolution is currently capped at 500. It's important to note that setting a smaller heatmap size naturally results in a higher resolution grid too. 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. @@ -79,6 +80,7 @@ Now if you set the grid size to 10km, each cell has a size of 20 x 20 meters.

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. + +# Future Features +Our developer is currently working on new advanced features, some of which may require a subscription payment. These features include +- Long Term History: The ability to rewind in time and see where the bearings where crossing at some time in the past. Useful for analyzing moving objects. +- Object Tracking: The ability to automatically track an object. +- Multi-VFO Layering: The ability to receive data from multiple VFOs or frequencies at once, or via the KrakenSDR sweeping. With layering options to choose frequencies to display on the map. +- More than three KrakenSDRs +- Beacon ID: The ability to track KrakenSDR beacons that may be transmitting unique IDs but on the same frequency.
