Re: Mee-YOW! New NOAAport goes to an earlier timetable!

Dan, et al,

Curious if these hardware specs for the DVB system are documented
anywhere?  It seems like some enterprising individual could take this and,
if the cheaper hardware does work, create a system on their own.  Not
being too familiar with such things, would it be that difficult?  It
seems, though, that if this was possible, a system that could be closely
integrated with the LDM would be beneficial, both from a system
configuration and a system resource standpoint.  That being said, where
could one start reading up on such things just to learn the basics?
