 ==== What computer will I need?  ====
-Current version of detection stations have an built-in computer based on ARM architecture. Therefore there is no other computer necessary for the function of station.

-You will only need another computer if you want to [[en:vizualizace|visualisee the data]] at other place than the one with station (e.g. in a lecture room). In that case you mainly need a computer with a graphic performance corresponding with the planned quality of visualised output.

-Before moving the station or disconnecting the antenna it is necessary to turn the station off and mainly to unplug the power supply.
+Before moving a station or disconnecting an antenna it is necessary to turn the station off and mainly to unplug the power supply.
-The station has one switch on module with connected power supply. This switch has to be pressed. Than it is possible to disconnect antennae and further manipulate with the station.

-After moving the station it has to be turned on again and wait several minutes until it the blue LED on the station’s computer starts to flash again. If the LED does not flash even after several minutes, the file system of the station has been damaged.

 There may be several reasons for this and it is necessary to proceed systematically.
-  - Zkontrolujte připojení celé kabeláže přijímače a přítomnost napájení
+  - Check all the station’s wiring, cables and power supply
-  - Zkontrolujte, že při odpojení koaxiálního kabelu od přijímače dojde k poklesu šumu.
+  - Check that disconnecting the coaxial cable from the station causes a noise reduction
-  - Pozorujte delší dobu živý spektrogram například programem [[cs:pysdr|pySDR]] a ujistěte se, že nevidíte změny intenzity signálu, které by mohly ukazovat na přítomnost intenzivního lokálního rušení.
+  - Observe the live spectrogram for a longer period of time using for example an  [[en:pysdr|pySDR]] programme. Make sure that you cannot see any changes in the intensity of signal that may indicate a presence of an intensive local interference
-  - Zkontrolujte kalibraci lokálního oscilátoru, na nejbližším vysílači viz. [[cs:rmds&#lokalni_oscilator_prijimace|Kalibrace LO]],
+  - Check the local oscillator calibration with the nearest transmitter, see [[en:rmds&#lokalni_oscilator_prijimace|LO calibration]].
-  - Zkontrolujte, že není poškozený předzesilovač (Projevuje se například blikáním LED na napájecím modulu)
+  - Check if the preamplifier is not damaged (it can manifest as LED flashing on the power module)
-==== Nejde mi naladit lokální oscilátor, co s tím? ====
+==== I cannot tune the local oscillator ====
-  - Zkontrolujte kabeláž I²C, která se používá k ovládání lokálního oscilátoru.
+  - Check I²C cabling, which is used to control the local oscillator
-  - Zkontrolujte jestli GPS vidí družice (například pomocí utility xgps)
+  - Check if the GPS sees the satellites (e.g. using xgps utility)
-      * Pokud GPS družice vidí a má fix tak restartujte frequency-guard
+      * If the GPS sees them and has a fix, restart a frequency-guard
-      * Když GPS nemá fix tak zkontrolujte GPS anténu a přívodní koaxiální kabel.
+      * If the GPS does not have a fix, check its antenna and its coaxial cable.
-  - Zkontrolujte konektory na obou stranách vodičů připojujených k modulu [[http://wiki.mlab.cz/doku.php?id=cs:clkgen|CLKGEN]].
+  - Check the connectors on both sides of wires connected to [[http://wiki.mlab.cz/doku.php?id=cs:clkgen|CLKGEN]] module
-  - Vyměňte GPS anténu
+  - Replace the GPS antenna
-  - Použijte kratší kabel ke GPS anténě.
+  - Use shorter cable with GPS antenna
-==== Kde najdu podrobnější dokumentaci? ====
+==== Where can I find more detailed documentation ====
-  * Podrobnější technickou dokumentaci ke stanici najdete na serveru stavebnice MLAB v konstrukcích [[http://wiki.mlab.cz/doku.php?id=cs:rmds|Rádiových meteorických detekčních stanic]].
+  * More detail documentation to stations can be found on MLAB brick system server under [[http://wiki.mlab.cz/doku.php?id=en:rmds|Radio Meteor Detection station]].
-==== Na waterfallu vidím podivné obrazce, co to je? ====
+==== I see some weird images on waterfall, what is it?  ====
-Jde pravděpodobně o nějaký druh rušení. Můžete se proto pokusit najít odpověď v naší  [[cs:noise_interference|galerii rušení]].
+Most probably it is some kind of interference. You can try to find an answer in our [[en:noise_interference|interference gallery]].
