    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

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

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

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

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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)

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Each feed has different bands on it.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    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)

    The DC is off, Im using a Nooelec bias tee to power the LNAs

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Yep, that was something Ayecka told me when I was in touch with them. That's plain ridiculous that it takes that time to lock. + they (Ayecka) said they weren't seeing issues like that when I was talking with them. Yep, They don't care to mess with it. Sooo why are they making it? Again...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    also, grbdump has not been updated since 107. Lucas said he will be working on it very soon. Im running windows 7 by the way with the DD card.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    I had to use the latest firmware. Other than that, unplugging the coax for 4 seconds or so and putting it back on speeds up the lock for some reason. TURN off the LNA power from the card! I get like .01 percent cadu errors thats it.

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    to get it into awips, you need to run the unidata LDM software on the cspp-geo box, and insert the lightning into a queue to send to the awips ingestor. I added a line in the CSPP-GEO code to do that when GLM arrives. I can find it and paste it if you need it.

    This is a current GLM plot, none in the US at moment though

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    As to my Ayecka, they sent me one to test on this feed that receives GS, allegedly. They say only one of the 2 tuners can be used, have to buy 2 for both feeds. It is highly annoying to use, takes sometimes 1-3 hrs to lock on to the signal. Once it does, its fine though. But EXPENSIVE! They have...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    I have a 14.5 ft dish here for NOAAPORT. I don't like the goes16 images on them, better resolution on GRB since they don't reproject them to Lambert. They don't send the GLM lightning from GOES16 on there either since it competes with the pay services the weather service uses. I send the files...

    GOES 16 GRB downlink vs GVAR

    Dull? The Veggie channel (3) shows up land really well during the day. If you use it as the G in RGB though, its overdone for green. With 1 min apart images on mesos, its anything but dull when there is any kind of weather!. Also, there is are sensors called GLM, for Global Lightning Mapper...
