Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Using the USRP1 for GOES LRIT reception...

Hi Michael,

We have a GOES 11 setup using USRP1 and have been able to decode EMWIN data 
using the software you mentioned.
The station is located at Los Alamitos and run by Jerry Martes.

It is possible to login to the LA computer using VNC and control it in any 
way you want.
The primary dish is pointed at GOES 11 and the secondary is poining at AMC-4 
(NOAAPORT).

Please contact a person in this email for further instructions (passwords 
etc)

Patrik

Hello all.
I'm a bit of a noobie and getting my feet wet here. I hope to use my 
recently received USRP1 to receive the GOES weather satellite LRIT data 
using software from their site.  (here: 
http://www.goes-r.gov/hrit_emwin/index.html )
First, I was wondering if there was anyone else out there interested 
in/doing the same.
Second, I loaded up the software and followed the included directions 
(setting environment variables, etc) but it seems that the firmware wouldn't 
load up. (the USRP1 is installed and recognized by windows, though)
Here is the output:

--------------------------------------------------C:\Program Files\HRIT 
Radio>emwinr
==========================
Tracking LIVE SATELLITE
Using ETTUS BOX
===========================

The current date is 09/05/10
The current time is 12:14:00
Clock.Frequency: 64.0 MHz
======================
ACQ-Engine ENABLED
======================
Can't find firmware: std_Aerospace.ihx
PATH= C:\Program Files\HRIT Radio

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

C:\Program Files\HRIT Radio>
---------------------------------------------------As an FYI, the required 
firmware (std_Aerospace.ihx) is in this directory and has the exact same 
spelling.
So, if anyone can offer some insight that would be cool. I'll also be asking 
the developers and update this list if I hear anything.
Regards,
Mike
