    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Great news, glad you finally got a receiver that worked out. I've been busy with work and finalizing touches on a LINUX version of the GRBStreamer, so couldn't post much... but fun days ahead for sure of more innovation.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Are you able to receive RHCP or LHCP data through GRBstreamer on GOES16? Based on the info you've provided so far, you should be able to. On the bright side, you have enough dB to get you going while you work on upgrading the dish to get that higher SNR.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Yeap, sure looks like two signals, but it is not... only RHCP. The grayed out signal peaking at 70 that you see is the peak in the signal level, so anytime there's data coming in, then you'll see it maxing out at that level. I'll be giving GOES 17 a look this week. If you can get 8dB then that's...

    Here's a pic of the 10dB I'm getting on the RHCP, using GQRX under Windows with an Airspy @ 10MSPS

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Keeping fingers crossed that replacing the bad coax cables will not give you a better signal. Just as an alternative, I've posted below the link to a suite of SDR tools which includes a ported version of GQRX I use under LINUX. You might want to give it a shot as it could make it easier to...

    Very nice, adds another level of experience to GRLevelX.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Would be nice if GLM could also be distributed through HRIT, but going to doubt it (at least for this year). They don't have it in the NOAAPORT stream (at least not yet), which further causes me to decrease the changes of it happening for now. The GLM data is small so wouldn't see why it...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Saw late yesterday a report that HRIT at GOES17 has started sending data.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Don't exclude the minimum elevation. The 15dB they have is based on a northern most ground station in which GOES16/17 is at or close to 5 degrees from the horizon. So as you can see, the further down you travel in latitude the less the dish size gets as a minimum requirement. This is validated...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    An 8.5 to 9dB signal still good. I've ran under those ranges under some bad weather and I might loose about half a dB. If you point your dish to GOES17, how does it look?

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Any way to DM you? I can only think of you going to the OSP chat room, if it can't be done here.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Darn, only 6.2. See if you can still get it a bit past at or past 6.5 as it will at least allow you to get something specially during good weather and to test your equipment while you wait to get the 12ft later this year. LOL you almost scared me with "Almost had a disaster..." part. In regards...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Hopefully I'll get some additional time this week to work some more on the LINUX app that I used to get the signal status and add streaming capabilities to send BB Frames to CSPP. Likely ensuring the BBF are synced before re-transmission will be the challenge for me. lol

    That's some great news!!!

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Hi guys, here are the signal characteristic on the DD under LINUX at the time you have to "reset" the coax in order to get it to start reading: Status = Locked : Signal Strength(%) = 59.40 : Signal Strength(dBm) = -49.17 : SNR(dB) = 9.5 : BER = 00000000 : Uncorrectable Blocks = 0 : Read (bytes)...

    I'll be giving 2A a shot tomorrow AM. So far so good, no random disconnects, which could had been a coincidence.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Definitely interested on how that hew DVB2 card performs. In reality, I'm wondering if it needs coax cable resets for it to start streaming lol!!!

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Thanks for the update!!! Have add version 1.01 running since last night, and no issues, not even a bad sync error. I did noticed that it took a bit longer to lock with the TBS5925 (using the coax reset method) as compared as before, but is all good. I don't mind it. :) Will be testing it soon...

    Is that new receiver you getting, advertising of being capable of sending BBF/CADU?

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Definitely not bad at all. Now, I'm starting to find it hard to go back to grayscale. LOL!!!

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Testing different combinations but sure looks like this will be the best I'll get out of a RHCP only feed. So far, a Geocolor scheme is best for RHCP. GeoColor "TrueColor" which is really False

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Unfortunately, no System/Application log errors. See if in the next update, you can have an option to save and auto load a config upon start up. Sounds that very likely then, there could had been an issue in one functions of the streamreader.dll which required an app restart. I do have to say...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Possibly, I'm leaning a bit more towards the program on this one, given that the HRIT/SDR didn't showed a signal issue when I checked it, but keeping options open.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Interesting behavior I experienced this AM from GRBStreamer. It all off the sudden stopped streaming. It wouldn't' start streaming, until I closed GRBStreamer and restarted it. Just the first time I experinced it.

    Definitely doesn't hurt to ask. Hopefully they'll answer your question and please do let us know what they say. :biggrin
