How long before 'dead' stations dissapear from the map?

Hi all,

I'm wondering how long it is before 'dead' stations (that haven't reported in some time) are removed from the map? I have one close to me that is in the red but hasn't been seen for a month (https://radmon.org/radmon.php?function=showuserpage&user=joseph)

Cheers!

They should disappear after a month. And the red alert circles won't appear on top if the data gets over a week old.

These are arbitrary limits set by me, discussion on more suitable limits welcome.

The station disappeared from the map the day after I posted the thread. Those limits seem sensible to me.

Would it be possible for stations to change colour on the map if they haven't reported for a few days? Say a week or so. Are the darker colours still used for experimental stations? If not would it be possible for them to change to the darker colours after a week? It's just a thought but would make it nice and easy to spot which stations are live(ish) and up to date.

I would suggest that you do not accept 0 as a value for CPM, in some cases some microcontrollers/software will post a 0 while the Geiger counter was disconnected and it produces a "hole" in the chart.

I don't quite understand what you mean by this. If a counter is not working then surely a 'hole' in the chart would be the best thing to show there was an outage of some kind?
