Back in August I wrote here about a low cost system to receive images from GOES weather satellites<\/a>. A reader points me to an improved software package described on the SDRplay Community Forum<\/a> for obtaining better images with the system:<\/p>\n

USA-Satcom has just released v2.1.0.0 of the XRIT Decoder. Along with enhancements for the XRIT Decoder, a new RSP Streamer X has been released and is operable with the RSP1A, RSP2, and RSPduo – new features include operation with two streams simultaneously (provided that the PC being used has sufficient processing power and an RSPduo or more than one compatible RSP are being used). Also new is the XRIT File manager which allows for improved operation with both LRIT and HRIT files, improved LUT for excellent false color images, user-selectable automated black filling of the white background on full disk visual and false color HRIT images, and country as well as state map overlays.<\/em><\/p>\n

The new color enhancements are excellent:<\/em><\/p>\n
