Re: [amsat-bb] NOVA and KCT cpu utilization issues

[Michael Pfeuffer <wq5c@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

By default, Nova updates every 150 ms.  I found that bumping this up a bit 
(500 ms), or so, greatly reduced the CPU utilization without affecting the 
performance too much.

setup -> general -> behavior -> update interval
