Thanks for all your help. I've been hitting the "books" over the last few days and spending far too much time setting my system up (when I should've be working). I've enjoyed every minute of it!
The issues I had with my antenna were "height off the ground", and, after mounting it in the loft, everything started to work great!! (I'll have to get hold of a decent ladder and bolt it to the tv mast on my roof when I get a mo).
I've also managed to setup Spectrum lab and Colorgramme. I've tweaked the scrip in Spectrum lab to produce the Colorgramme format log file for a live feed from Spectrum lab to Colorgramme and ftp'd on to the rmob.org website.
What a totally fascinating area this is. Many years ago, I used to create and install RFID software and systems which included manufacturing high frequency antennas (in fact, I dug some of old kit out of the garage to make my Yagi) , so this really appeals! - I'm looking forward to many many hours/days/months pouring over books (especially researching chirp sounding) and making up interesting antennae and the like

I just found the Sky at Night Magazine config files for Spectrum Lab at http://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/cd/config.zip and loaded them up. Worked a treat!!
Now I'm wondering if my homebrew 4 element 144mhz Yagi antenna is working okay....

I'm attempting to build my first meteor detector and need some help with setting up Spectrum lab.
I bought a Keedox RTL2832U+R820T receiver and have set it up as per the instructions on this post http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/220150-new-to-meteor-detecting/?p=2380107 (many thanks).
I've managed to get it working using HDSDR. Now I'd like to setup Spectrum Lab as it seems to be the popular choice and so I can compare my results against other detectors. I've just had a look at the settings in Spectrum Lab and though I'd start here rather then hacking random settings in and hoping to get it right.
Does anyone have a list of settings I should set (similar to the above post)?
Many thanks

Here are some configuration files I used with spectrum lab (I also included a script I used for logging the pings to file) - they may be a good starting point :)
MetScat_detail_v1.USR
MetScat_starter_v1.USR
RTL_SDR_WFM_Test.usr
