If your KrakenSDR is set to output multiple VFOs, you can select which VFO gets displayed on the map by using the 'VFO Frequency' drop-down box. For each VFO frequency, there should be one entry in the drop-down box that can be selected. -## Options and Features - -### Main configure button (blue gear icon at the top) - -**Heatmap Size:** Total size from edge to edge in kilometers of the heatmap grid.

This is useful for verifying a KrakenSDR setup, for example by driving around your target area with a beacon and GPS, or using a weather balloon radiosonde. -A Python script that shows an example of how to upload data to the server can be found at https://github.com/krakenrf/krakensdr_docs/blob/main/misc_scripts/sondehub_krakenmap.py.
