Hi Dan, Gilbert, et. al., re: NOAAPort outage Dan Vietor wrote:We received no data for about 40 minutes. We're getting data now (started about 1920Z) but its very noisy. The BER is in the 10e-3 range.I have noticed on a number of occasions that our Novra S75 needs to be reset after an outage or noise incident. When I saw that we were once again ingesting the NOAAPort broadcast, I logged onto one of our ingesters (Solaris 10 x86) and ran S75_TEST. Our indicated viterbi Bit Error Rate was on the order of 10e-2 until I reset the device. After the reset, it has been hovering between 10e-5 and 10e-4.
I have a later generation of Novra which actually does a nice job of preventing that from happening. In fact, as of 19:42Z, I see this from my receiver:
Symbol Rate 6.349000 Msps Frequency 1193.500000 LO Frequency 5150 VBER 2.5670e-04 So it's getting better, but now this bad news: NOUS71 KNCF 161857 ADANCF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AWIPS CARRIER ON THE SATELLITE. NCF AND GLOBECOM ARE INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. WE WILL UPDATE AS NEW INFORMATION COMES AVAILABLE. I hope the satellite isn't going haywire! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** *******************************************************************************
