Hello all,
I'm seeing a LOT of retransmitted NOAAport products over the last few
days, with strong evidence seen on the UNIDATA stats pages, looking at the
various feeds, particularly NNEXRAD. A 3 meter dish at the College of DuPage can't
even decode a byte today, and although I haven't lost any data today, and
only minimally this past weekend, I'm seeing this at 19Z/2 PM CT today
with my 3.7 meter dish with a snow cover on it:
Frequency: 1193.500000
SymbolRate: 6.349000
LNBFault: ok
SignalLock: on
DataLock: on
SignalStrength%: 77
VBER: 0.00e+00
Errors: 0
ErrorRate: 0
DemodulatorGain: 78
NoiseEstimate: 11
DataSyncLoss: 0
ClockOffset: 34
FrequencyError: 1
I did nothing to my system to get the signals levels these "low", nor do I
have any interference around our building. Is anyone else noting this?
I'm concerned I have very little "pad" for rain fade.
Gilbert
