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?

When we moved our dish yesterday at the College of DuPage, there was
no signal on 990 MHz, but there was on 1130 MHz. 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…

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:
