Gilbert.. that does not answer his question, and the information copied
directly from satbeams:
https://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2748
The existing satellite (G28) has more capacity than noaa currently
purchases, because peak bandwidth has not been reached on average.
current dvb2 lnb will likely suffice.

I wonder if the new sat will have greater transmission capacity/speed?
Might there be a need for a new LNB?

Ahhhh, there it is. I had heard that they wanted everyone off that bird
by 1/1/23, and most of their customers are already off it.
And, once again, the switchover is in winter. Have fun, WFO's poleward

Greetings all,
It's been a while since we've heard any news on this front, but this PNS
(https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/scn22-77_sbn_galaxy31_change.pdf)
was just issued announcing plans to change satellites "effective early
2023." The tentative transition schedule is below:
NOV 2022: G31 Planned Launch Date
FEB 2023: Dual Illumination Period
APR 2023: Complete Transition to G31
Also of note is that the satellite we'll be switching to, Galaxy 31,
will be a new one launched later this year
(https://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2748).
If I see any more details come across I'll forward them here as well.
Best,
-Mike
