I am attempting to estimate multiple transmitter locations using my Kraken with the local save option (CVS file). What is the maximum number of transmitter frequencies that can be tracked simultaneously (20 would be ideal)? Additionally, to start data collection, I have to double-click the frequency on the spectrum page of the web interface, is there an easier way to do this? And how would I start data collection when tracking multiple frequencies? Thank you!
From the Kraken Wiki on Github:
Active VFOs
You can have up to 16 simultaneous VFO’s. If necessary this can be increased beyond 16 - contact us if you have a need for more.
Note about computation power: On a Pi 4 adding more than 3-4 VFO’s that are on always active signals may slow down the processing enough so that channels with intermittent signals get missed. If you are not watching for short intermittent signals then this slow down will not matter significantly.
If all channels are intermittent and properly squelched, then processing power should be sufficient as when channels are squelched they use no processing power.
Hope this helps!

Are you recording data from multiple stations all within the same bandwidth? If so you can use the multi-VFO feature, which supports up to 16 channels.
If they’re not all in the same bandwidth then unfortunately we have no support for that at the moment.
