Subject: Calibrating Second Lehman
From: "Gary Lindgren" gel@.................

I have remodeled my old 2 year old Lehman by going from 3" wide aluminum
bars to 2.5" wide bars and using the same coil and same Chris Chapman
magnets. At the same time I built a second Lehman that will be my NS
seismometer. At the present time I have both lined up as EW and I want
calibrate so that I see the same response on both before I position the
second unit to NS. The coil on the second is 1850 turns vs. 1650 turns for
the first and the second unit has a 27 second period vs. 23 second for the
first. I'm adjusting the gain on Larry's analog board to get the same
response. I have the same filtering (WinSDR) on both units. What I'm seeing
is that the first unit seems to have more background noise and higher
frequency content. And the FFT confirms that. Is the longer period and or
larger number of turns in the coil related to this?

Any thoughts are most welcome.
