The S300 will be $75 to $150 more than the S200.

The Novra S-200 will not work for the new broadcast. D'oh!!!

Gilbert,
I just received the following information regarding the SBN Expansion
project:

/The AWIPS Program has selected the following Receiver for the SBN /
NOAAPort Expansion project:* Novra S-300 (Enhanced DVB-S2 Receiver)*. We
will be implementing a single data stream that will require variable
coding modulation (*VCM*) over multi-protocol encapsulation (*MPE*)
which is supported by the Novra S-300 receiver. We understand that one
or more other models of DVB-S2 Receivers also may be suitable.

Attached is our DVB-S2 Receiver Specification sheet.

(Gilbert's note: see http://weather.admin.niu.edu/s300.pdf for the
attachment.)

You will need to upgrade to a receiver that supports VCM (like the Novra
*S-300)*. The S-200 does not support VCM!

Thanks,
-Jami
