    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Hi again everyone, Thanks Brett for continuing work of the hardware side of this. It's frustrating that there are several DVB-S2 Generic stream cards out there but only one works, and it's no longer being made anymore. Figures.:mad: Brett, did you tell TBS that the chipset in that card is...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Long time here, I have had no workings with GRB on direct reception since May 2019. All my previous pictures on here of my system in working order are no longer reflect that system. In May the river behind my house flooded big time, I had to take all my systems down and pack them away...

    Some updates here as well, Firstly, I got the storage drive for the files upgraded to a solid state drive. This has sped up the process of maintaining the data on the drive. This also helps access the data for viewing slideshows with the large images. I also installed a simple but powerful...

    Some of the final pictures of the Amp case and inside. These pics show the foam that I put in there to keep the parts inside the case from moving, it fills the space and keeps a good solid hold on the parts inside. The foam is cheap and easy to fit with the a razor blade. The case through...

    An update to the progress of the GRB station here Brett (N6BY) has been updating GRB Imager and making it even better. The last few updates include being able to extract a smaller part of the image out of the Fulldisk and CONUS. This acts to zoom in on the area of interest. Also it's easy to...

    This is an update to the feed construction info that I posted. I found that the book that I got the info from was wrong so the converted measurements was wrong, the good news that it was just one measurement that was wrong. The septum length overall should be 9.29" NOT 10.29". I made a new...

    Still not bad for that small of dish. Lot better then where I was. Yes, the last picture you see of the instructions I show the feed and ring together but as I said I used aluminum foil tape to hold it together as I still want to change the septum in the feed for the proper size. My septum is...

    Goes 17 is in test out period, somewhere in early Dec. if every thing checks out it will be declared operational GOES West. That "X" is tough to see, but since I know where you are located I see it. Ya, that smoke does look a lot better. With you in a much better location for GOES West you...

    I finished putting a slide show together with the images I got setting up Wed. Same data from the screen shot above shows. This is the link for all 5 channels I got for the CONUS loops, meso sector loops. This was made by another slide show software not by the one on GRB Imager. The link below...

    Brett updated GRB Imager to 1.17 due to issues with the TBS 6903 card having CADU errors for an unknown software reason. Since he updated the program the change has been great as to results. Screen shot shows 14.5 Million frames with out errors, the actual number is 21 million frames due to a...

    For the final installment of these uploads I plan to show you how I'll make my preamp block for this. I will be able run on 7-30V DC and be powered using an F connector and RG58 or 59 cable.

    The state of Cal is on the Eastern side of a strong mid to high level High pressure system, We here have been on the low pressure side of the system and getting one shot after another of arctic air coming down. But that pressure system is pulling the smoke to the SW like that and that pattern...

    Soldering: You could do this step before you assemble the ring onto the flange for the final time installing the bolts. But I did it after so I didn't have to worry about touching the cleaned soldering surface. With the assembly off the jig push the flange from the ring so that it comes out...
