If the system resets, then it reverts. It then will not return to 'increased' thresholds until next server communication, which may be up to, what, 7-10 minutes?
'Burst' mode doesn't reset the controller, and therefore, doesn't reset the thresholds. Also if you have any numbers in the setting box for "system daily reboot' you can count on reverting to default at least once daily! That field should be 'blank" !
I suppose I'm lucky... my normal H field and E field settings have been pretty much established, with or without the increased settings, they run the same, normally..
What I do get, is more good signals, and a 'decrease' in 'distance from cell activity before interference' from about 200 miles to something much lower. Now the 'weaker strokes' not detectable by distant stations, that once drove me into interference, can be added to, say, 5 stations at moderate distance, and I become the 6th station. Viola! More Strikes!
And guess what.. more of those 'weaker' strokes will be ground waves, previously not used, instead of reflections, and Egon's algorithms have better TOGA data with feelers, streamers, etc previously undetectable, and therefore unusable. Now the option to use more than the current 1 channel of data comes into play dramatically...
As said above... turning my 'normal' settings up is a waste of time and strokes. I've experimented with it. It's as much about geography as anything. West coast stations could potentially raise theirs for example, but not ol' Mike here in Central KY... too centralized... If anything, I'm prone to back 'em down during nearby heavy activity...
Then, again, especially on H Channel A,... I never know when the damn axle factory south of me will fire up line three welders.
