    Tek2000 and their 12ft dish.

    Stoker, I have a KTI 12' dish and the mount of that puts this one to shame. With those bolts braking off I'd have concern that the welds could fail on the mount itself. If that mount is built anything like my Chinese office chairs I've went through, the base material cracks when it's welded...

    This is a lot late to answer this question but with a 10' dish I have about 2 -3 dB of margin for the signal here in Southern IA. Works good even though the dish pole is just buried in the ground with no concrete. Even with the movement in the wind it works good on the DVB-S2 format. Reliably...

    It's been 5 years WOW, since the last post here and more changes to come with the GOES R bird to launch. I am wondering if JerryTusday ever did get himself a NOAAPORT station set up and if anybody is watching this thread anymore. I still use NOAAPORT here for the time being.

    Thanks ParaclipseCKu It's job seems best at radar and satellite data, It has it's limits but this is where it's possibilities are big depending on if the code is open. I see this program capable of doing many things if some more time in put into it. I believe it can open GEMPAK files as well...

    Hi All, NOAAPORT is still broadcasting in DVB-S format for now so no changes as of yet Jerry. But concering NOAAPORT data I found a wonderful program that can open gridded data, GRIB, Area format, GRLevel 3 and 2 radar. It runs in a java web enviromant. I used this software to open the...

    An Update from here Wanted to chime in, I continue to use NOAAPORT here and the signal has remained stronger then when I started to receive it. Bolth the strength and quality bars mostly remain full, though the quality bar has dropped to about 3/4 of full. I have had no more interference...

    Hi Jerry I don't have the background knowledge to operate a USRP, It would be quite a learning process. The Linux computer I have here does the GVAR, I can do small things with it but after that things get real fuzzy. Linux is a powerful operating system. I have contacted Patrik Tast before...

    Hi Jerry, First to answer your question In about 3 weeks power will be reduced on SES1 (NOAAPORT) back to where it was before. Don't be hard on yourself, cause each day your learning, I didn't learn what I know overnight or in a couple of years and I am still learning. The 7' dish will...

    Hi Jerry, As Phil has said If you only want to have NOAAPORT for that time fine, But after is another question. I'd recommend NOAAPORT on the 9' Dish and GOES west on the 7' You will get good results with bolth. I would HIGHLY doubt that SES1 will remain at these levels. Bummer........I...

    Hmm Interesting, I looked all over for that bulletin and only found it on storm2k form. They may have restored AWIPS data another way, In the form of fiberoptic land line I have seen no other messages about this. I go by here for bulletins http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/messages.html...

    Hey Jerry, If your talking about GVAR (1685.7) You have to have a absolute Minimum of 8' With a good preamp ,I recommend 10' or you won't be able to get enough signal to be usable. Though that 4' dish will work fine for EMWIN, LRIT I will be watching your web site to see when you get...

    I understand now. Ya, having anything in the L.O.S. of the satellite could cause issues. I am one who perfers on a clear shot. Though I understand that for some that is not possible. When you refer to nesting, I assume it has something to do with securing/grounding the tower. It seems like...
