Anyone hear from Novra regarding updating their boxes? They are currently dead in the water on GOES16.

I also did some quick code to produce "placefiles" for GRlevelX products, so GLM can be displayed over radar.

The custom firmware was sent by Ayecka, and it works, but it takes sometimes hours to lock. They want to sell TWO rack mounted receivers to receive GRB. VERY pricey. So the effort shifted to the PC cards from TBS, DD, and Omicom. Im using the DD card and it works with both feeds at the same...

You are right, the files are small. However, NOAA has a contract with 2 providers of lightning data that they send encrypted on noaaport right now. So putting free lightning data up on one of their feeds didnt go over well for the moment. I ingest it on the RCHP feed, and send the files over to...

They will be doing some testing in the GRB link the next few weeks to start. I posted the info on the OSP chat. I am getting nice HRIT signal from GOES17 with a grid antenna but no data on that yet.

that is definately not true. During the GOES16 test phase at 89.5 degrees (Mid US), I had just about the same signal level as I do now with it parked east. Also Brett had signal on an 8 ft dish in California in the 6.5 db SN range at the same time. I asked NOAA, and they say its not a spot beam...

This is an RGB image generated from 3 GRB Channels. Some math done to fix the "green' which isnt true green in the data coming down (Band3)

I have the DD card and you have to pull the coax a few times to get it to start sending data. My SN is 11. I have a Omicom card but it didnt seem to work. I may put it back in and test it again. Only drawback of the Omicom is that it has only one tuner. Need 2 of them for both streams.

Whats that? lol

Grbstreamer puts out the CADU frames, or bbframes. I have bbframe sample files if you need them. I beleve N6BY has them. CSPP-GEO works fine with the CADU output from GRBStreamer.

that would be great to save the config. Mine will relock of I pull the coax for 4 secs then put back. Sometimes a few times. Now that I moved the bias tee close to the dish, it has stayed locked for 2 days straight now. Im using solar to power it all.

I tried grbdump on all kinds of hardware, you cannot give it enough CPU lol.

Thanks for the response Ray, I was wondering if you were going to tell me. That computer you have there, are you using it for the display machine as well or just the data processor? If you're using it for both then that thing is loaded down. How much RAM do you have installed? 64gb ram on...

Each feed has different bands on it.

You cannot "tee" the cable, you have to feed each into a tuner, which generates a stream. Then feed the streams into ingest software (Uses UDP different ports for each)
