I reported suspisions about the ETF (Stanford) Seismometer that is now wired up as the STS2-A or HAM2 ground sensor. That was ten days ago and here is another look from earlier this morning. Pretty much same conclusion: The ITMY and HAM5 units show very good coherence even though they are separated by 30meters. The HAM2 & ITMY sensors are just a couple meters apart and they are no showing the coherence they should: and the HAM2 & HAM5 sensors coherence is similarly poor..
While the problem may be cable or setup (level or igloo rubbing) I suspect the unit itself.
BTL: Any word on these instruments from your experiences?
If you have it insulated and it isn't rubbing, then it is probably the standard STS needs to get fixed problem, and checked that the feet are locked
