Hello:

I have received my NF-5030 and got the MCS SW up on a running on the Gentoo Linux X64 platform.

Note you need to upgrade to V1.8.0 to get the NF-5035 to be recognized on the USB. Also, it did not work on my laptop if connected to a USB3 port, only works on a USB2 port.

My first attempt to measure stuff is not going do well.
My I konw of 3 MF DGNSS beacon sites within ~20Km and 5 airport NDB sites within 30km but I can't pickup anything while using the electric field sensor.

Am I doing something incorrect?

Cheers,
John

The internal E-field sensor might have not anough sensitivity, so better use an external antenna (connected to the anlog input), a simple wire might do it...
BTW: Which setup do you use (frequency etc.)? Best would be a MCS screenshot.
