All, Our Noaaport signal strength & errors are both outside of normal thresholds: [ldm@noaaport0 bin]$ ./s75status Status for device: 0 Firmware Ver 3, Rev. 4 RF Firmware Codes: 0x506 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symbol Rate 6.349000 Msps Frequency 1192.900024 The viterbi Bit Error Rate is 1.8792e-01 Viterbi Rate 2 LNB Power On, Polarization = 1, Band = 1 Signal Strength: 29 Signal Lock: 0 Data Lock: 0 Uncorrectables: 61I've tried restarting the Novra with no success. The signal light is blinking intermittently, and the lock light is off. Usually, both these lights are steady green.
With our recent noreaster, we experienced wind gusts near 55 mph near where our dish is located, so it is very possible our dish may need to be repeaked. The last time we had this done in 2005, the technician we used really didn't seem to have any special equipment, all he seemed to do was make small adjustments while I continued to run the s75status program until our signal strength improved. Not sure whether to hire the same guy, hire the other guy (in rural NH, our options are limited! ;) ), or try to do the adjustments myself; the "official" website at http://www.weather.gov/noaaport/html/sat_loc.shtml does not have much for newbies on this.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brendon -- Brendon Hoch Technology Manager Judd Gregg Meteorology Institute MSC 48, Boyd Hall 321A Plymouth State University Plymouth, NH 03264 (603)535-2818 Fax: (603)535-2723 http://vortex.plymouth.edu/~bhoch
