Radio updating in progress.
Server will reboot and be back up in 5 minutes.
After the update, I am swapping out an RG5X coax with RG8 on the blog v4. This should improve signal and transmissions from polar satellites. I also have dusted out an old RCA tablet with KDE Neon which I will update to be an SDR project. I am leaving KDE Neon on it and possibly will work to have DragonOS put on it.

I started back using SDR to capture NOAA satellite images but came across a few problems.
On the blogv4, the dipole antenna has been damaged which I am currently testing an omnidirectional. But this is not a good substitute.
Feed lines need to be upgraded which will gradually happen starting next week. This will not affect the scanner feeds.
I notice heavy interference with NOAA-15 on 137.62 MHz. I believe this is caused by terrestrial interference however, I was able find two different transmissions on the other frequencies. I am still investigating this.
