GOES antenna, PREAMP, 1691 to 137.50MHZ down converter are all available
from: Spectrum Internation, Inc., P.O. Box 1084S, Concord, MA 01742.
Phone (508)-263-2145. Expect to pay about $700.00 for it.
Software: Elmer W. Schwittek, 2347 Coach House Lane, Naples, FLA 33942.
Phone (813)-434-2268. About $45~50 for a decent scan coverter pkg.
for IBM PC compatibles. Also, he includes some filter and A/D prints.
I can not say anything about SI, have not used them (saw ad in '73 mag.).
Elmer's software works pretty good. You'll also WANT to get a 'gray scale'
monitor. There is quite a difference from looking at a mush of colors and
16 gray scales for your images...
Hope this helps.
