I had a similar issue. I skipped the initial configuration and just used kal in terminal. My problem was the local cell towers were not detected so i had to use the gain argument to get a signal.
Assuming you are in N. America the -s GSM850
-g is the gainĀ
-e is the initial ppm (could set this to 0, but i had a ppm for an old calibration)
Open terminal
kal -s GSM850 -g 27 -e -6
Once you find your channel
-c (mine was 236)
kal -g 27 -c 236 -e -6
Edit for version 2.1.0
I just saw the updated 2.1.0 has a gain field. It will run the same commands as above.
Supported gain values (29): 0.0 0.9 1.4 2.7 3.7 7.7 8.7 12.5 14.4 15.7 16.6 19.7 20.7 22.9 25.4 28.0 29.7 32.8 33.8 36.4 37.2 38.6 40.2 42.1 43.4 43.9 44.5 48.0 49.6
put the lowest gain you can get away with there (I used 29.7)
click find channel
This will give you a list of channels in range. Use the one with the best signal strength.
put this value in the channel input
click get ppm
Some other thoughts. I had to move my antenna to a few positions before I could find a channel. If you are unable to find a channel, try bumping up your gain.
