well something to generate a spark so you can pick it up.   
Got 38 "strikes" and 33 "noise" today so it is receiving something.   :-) It appears that some of the noise is the thermostat clicking on the heat.  :-(

Maybe if you rain dance faster it would help.

Everything is up and running.  :-) Any good methods for setting the ranges other than trial and error estimating strikes to storms on a radar map?
I am also trying to get the NSlog - Map (by Jim McMurry) working. Looks like everything is working, but no strikes are showing up.  #-o

The StormVue NGX is good as the person viewing can control things like zooming in and out, density plots etc.

Here is an example http://www.tpweather.com.au/nexstormflash.php

Sometimes you have to refresh when it won't load first time but overall I'm happy with it.

From what I can see, you need to give it the path to nslmap.php in your NSconfig-inc.php file.  nslmap.php does the actual plotting of strikes and storms on a copy of your .png file and can be configured for many different strike and storm symbols.

If you continue to have problems, please don't hesitate to EMail me and we'll figure it out.

I looked into StormVue NGX and liked it, but being "flash" I didn't want to go with it. It seems more and more devices are not supporting flash these days.  :?

It turns out that I was getting .png & .php  mixed up because of the .png files that are created from the .php files. #-o
