Re: [ldm-users] NOAAPort/SBN Satellite Transition

Greetings all,

The NWS has updated their NOAAPort/SBN Transition schedule.  The new dates
are as follows:

=======================================
12 NOV 2022:   G31 Launch Date
5 FEB 2023:   Dual Illumination Period
17 FEB 2023:   Receive Site Transition Window Start
31 MAR 2023:   Receive Site Transition Window Ends
3 APR 2023:   AWIPS Transition to G31 Complete
=======================================

The SCN also mentions a change to "the RF Frequency."  However, since they
took down the previous SCN I don't recall what the frequencies were before,
so I'm not sure which one was changed or what the previous values were.
Here are the values listed in the current SCN:

Satellite (G31) specifications/AWIPS
-- RF Frequency: 1130 MHz

Satellite (G31) specifications/NWWS
-- RF Frequency: 990 MHz


For more information here is the full SCN that just came out with this
information:
