Good afternoon John, I have bad news for you: they are the cheapest of the receivers that is able to receive NOAAport, unfortunately…and yes, I know, they aren’t cheap. The next least priciest is one that costs well over $1,000, and they go up to $20,000. So…save up the pennies, I get it…and then get the Novra S300N. You might want to try on Ebay to see if someone is selling it less expensively. All the best, Gilbert Sebenste Meteorology Support Analyst College of DuPage From: John 'JT' Lamb <bigbearjt@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2023 3:44 PM To: Sebenste, Gilbert <sebensteg@xxxxxxx>; Mike Zuranski <mzuranski@xxxxxxxx>; NOAAPORT <noaaport@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; LDM <ldm-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [ldm-users] [External] Re: NOAAPort/SBN Satellite Transition Greetings! So, I'm a disabled amateur meteorologist who would like to pull the NOAAPort/SBN feed down to my home. I have a dish, LNB and a dedicated server ready for it, but the price of the Novra S300N is out of my budget unless I punt it into 2024 or 2025. I've had up to 300 level classes in meteorology but my skills are getting rusty and I'd prefer to have my own data feed so I can flag the products I want and build a video wall. Are there other good receivers out on the market that will work for this without the premium price of the Novra?

We realized that the downconversion by 5150 MHZ means hat it should be on 1130, and sure enough, that’s where we found it. It’s a “hotter” signal than the old NOAAport signal by over 3 Dbm…and more stable. Now to get data flowing across it… Gilbert Sebenste Meteorology Support Analyst College of DuPage From: ldm-users <ldm-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx><mailto:ldm-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Mike Zuranski Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 1:37 PM To: NOAAPORT <noaaport@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx><mailto:noaaport@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; LDM <ldm-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx><mailto:ldm-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [External] Re: [ldm-users] NOAAPort/SBN Satellite Transition CAUTION: This email originated from outside of COD’s system. Do not click links, open attachments, or respond with sensitive information unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. 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: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2023_24/scn22-77_sbn_galaxy31_change_aab.pdf Best, -Mike Mike Zuranski Data Engineer II Unidata Program Center University Corporation for Atmospheric Research On Tue, Jan 24, 2023 at 3:22 PM Mike Zuranski <mzuranski@xxxxxxxx<mailto:mzuranski@xxxxxxxx>> wrote: Greetings, The NWS has released additional details of the NOAAPort/SBN transition to a new satellite.
