Positive "sig" values

Hi Motus Users;

I’m manually checking my detections to determine what seems valid (after filtering out runlen<2) and I’ve come across some positive RSSI “sig” values. What’s puzzling is that, although they’re positive, they exhibit the shape, timing, and location that could make sense for an American Woodcock. I’ve attached my sig~ts plots. I’m referring to North Tawas, Clear Lake, No Pablo, Cedar Point, OttawaWeir, and Erie Marsh 2016.

What would cause these positive values? Could they be valid just on the wrong scale?

I’m confident that Altona and Clifton are noise (they pop up on a lot of my tags) and the MPG-MT sites.

Sincerely,
