    Jose, Thank you. I read a bit a bout GrADS, it seems to be a great program. My goal is to gather weather data and use them for analytic tools, and I think GrADS would fit nicely in the middle if it offers APIs for Windows environments. GrADS labelled as a desktop tool, but I hope it has a set...

    NOAAPORT help

    Jose, Thank you. Yes, after further reading I found out that it needs Gempak which cost a lot of money. I think I can manage without the radar images. I'm in the process of learning all the data format that I received. Thank you all for your help. Kevin

After a few tugs here and there without loosening the bolts, I noticed some improvement in the error rate, it was jumping between 1.0e-4 to 1.0e-7, which is acceptable. After loosening the bolts, a friend of mine tried to turn the dish...

    Hi all, I've have been playing with this system for weeks, finally got the signal to lock, got some weather data, but the error rate is a bit high. Most tuning refers to Signal Quality, but this software has only the signal strength indicator that doesn't help much. Any NOAAPORT user out...
