Note: I cannot find the Novra S-300 anywhere on Novra's website, or
anywhere on the Web. I'm contacting my Novra contact about this S-300.
The Novra S-200 will not work for the new broadcast. D'oh!!!

Gilbert,
I just received the following information regarding the SBN Expansion
project:
/The AWIPS Program has selected the following Receiver for the SBN / NOAAPort
Expansion project:* Novra S-300 (Enhanced DVB-S2 Receiver)*. We will be
implementing a single data stream that will require variable coding modulation
(*VCM*) over multi-protocol encapsulation (*MPE*) which is supported by the
Novra S-300 receiver. We understand that one or more other models of
DVB-S2 Receivers also may be suitable.
Attached is our DVB-S2 Receiver Specification sheet.
(Gilbert's note: see http://weather.admin.niu.edu/s300.pdf for the
attachment.)
You will need to upgrade to a receiver that supports VCM (like the Novra
*S-300)*. The S-200 does not support VCM!
Thanks,
-Jami
