Aha. I thought this was a one-person community based on the first few posts so I stopped checking usernames. Sorry.
Wow, the IR does make the flyover scan technique surprisingly neat. Too bad there is no emergency shutter for when the sensor is about to point at the sun (but that would be another potential point of failure).
I am confused why they don’t just turn the analogue transmission off to save power or direct more of it to the digital transmitter. The digital data are already received by NOAA’s various receivers and shared with meteorologists online, right? The amateur radio community would complain but they have been unsuccessful in preventing other analog shutdowns.
