I am interested in building a system to receive WEFAX APT pictures from at least the polar orbiting weather satellites and maybe also from the geosynchronous ones. One question I have is: what is a good receiver to use? I have a scanner that can receive 137.5MHz but it's bandwidth is either 6kHz or 200kHz. I understand that the appropriate bandwidth would be about 50kHz. What do other experimenters do in this regard? P.S. - I would expect to receive the GOES satellites with a down-converter to the 137 MHz range, so the same receiver could be used for both. -- John Moore (NJ7E) mcdphx!anasaz!john asuvax!anasaz!john (602) 861-7607 (day or eve) long palladium, short petroleum 7525 Clearwater Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85253 The 2nd amendment is about military weapons, NOT JUST hunting weapons!
