I have been experimenting with lowering the gain on only the offending noisy channel. This seems to allow more strikes to get counted, although I am sure that my reception pattern will not be omnidirectional but somewhat oval.
On both the "green" system and the new "red", the noise source is not picked up equally by both antenna orientations.
When you adjust your gain, do you match them or only reduce the problem one? Or is your noise equal on both antennas?
