Is there a way or ways to improve the SNR (signal to noise ratio) of an 
incoming event?

I realize that if the incoming rays are not strong enough, they will not 
overcome the ambient noise of the system.

I would further assume that lowering the ambient noise is the best solution, 
but I understand that can be a real challenge.  Personally, I live in a 
wooded area, remote from vehicle travel and most man-made noises.  But, 
weather and wind will affect my noise significantly......something I have to 
live with.

My vertical and horizontal sensors are simply laying on a concrete floor in 
an unattached garage with proper covers over each.  Any gain adjustments 
raise or lower the noise factor directly.  I guess that finding a "happy 
level" and living with it is my only solution.  But, if there are any 
suggestions or remedies out there, I'd appreciate knowing about it..

Best Regards,
