Hi Gary,

Isn't the FBV seismometer a low frequency seismometer. I am sure that is
why you are detecting earthquakes from the South Pacific. What is the
absolute minimal size that you can detect ? With my 4.5Hz seismometer I
can go down to ML0.01 when weather is good.

Here is how a volcano tremor looks like on my system. This is filtered
at 2Hz.

The movement was most at E-W sensor. But I guess that is the direction
the magma was pushing when this earthquake did happen.
