Default Satellite Weather

That is what I was thinking. When he says 137 MHz, that is direct low
orbit NOAA satellite image frequencies and takes an entirely different
set of equipment and software.

maxlynn, You're very right in saying that JVComm works great for HF
WeFax images, but I believe the question in this thread is about
receiving realtime satellite weather images. Some additional
equipment is needed to do this, and a satellite prediction program to
anticipate the overflight of the satellite. These images are in
realtime, not downloaded by a shore station and rebroadcast over HF as
WeFax images are. The JVComm can also be used for this as well as
many other programs.
