Indeed, the Beta version of GSS, on my PC, produces boundaries as expected!

Reverting to an older version (in this case I usedhave a look at that please?===================================== David, Using a modified countries.dat file that includes the Dutch isles (path C:\Tools\DJT programs\Boundaries\countries-nl-extra.dat). Situation is simple: version 1134 works perfectly well, I overwrite the exe and lng files with version 1142 and gone are the boundaries. No changes in anything else and as indicated in my response to Hamdan, no change in common settings or job settings either. I'm a bit puzzled as to why you don't see this behaviour. Would it be convenient if I were to send a particular file to you? Cheers, Ferdinand

Re: Boundary data
David,
During the weekend I changed my GeoSatSignal for the version advertised on your Beta page as "GeoSatSignal - 8.2.3", which is actually geosatsignal.8.2.2.1142. This morning I found out that this version does not produce country boundaries anymore. Reverting to an older version (in this case I used geosatsignal.8.2.1.1134 of December last) resolved the issue. Could you have a look at that please? Cheers, Ferdinand =============================== Just checked here, Ferdinand, with beta "V8.2.2.1142" and I can't see any problem. Checked with countries.dat and some GSHHG 2.3.7 files (gshhs_i.b and internal borders wdb_borders_i.b). What exact boundary files are you using?

Re: Boundary data

Hamdan,
Thanks for the suggestion, but that is not the issue. All settings (common and per job) are identical between the two versions of GeoSatSignal. The 1142 version does not produce boundaries, whereas 1134 does. Must be something else.

I am still monitoring the SR1. Once it is up and running in the morning it is faultless, but it requires sometimes up to 3/4 starts and I now notice the power light is sometimes orange/red after boot up although other lights are normal except the flickering data flow. Maybe a power issue as some others have had. Regards Ian.

Re: BDADataEx
I am presently considering changing my set-up from an SR1 and TBS 5925 to a TBS 5925 and TBS 5927.
Ordinarily it would make sense to use the TBS IP tool for one receiver and BDADataEx for the other, but the IP tool is not stable on my computer causing intermittent crashes. It would therefore be necessary to use two BDADataEx and I was wondering if this was possible and if someone could point me in the right direction to set this up. Thanks in advance. Regards Ian. ========================== Ian, I've added some notes to my Web site: https://www.satsignal.eu/wxsat/dvb-s2/T1-T2.html#two-usb Any comments and corrections appreciated!

Re: New PC
I think its more to do with compatability on speeds/spec as mine will be
4 yrs old since built. Alan ============================ Yes, still worth checking, though. I do wish I understood why two PCs without RAMdisks have fewer lost HVS-1/2 packets on average than one with big RAMdisks! And why Arne's losses are fewer than mine! At least, HVS-2 with its weaker signal is less important for both of us. The snag with a single receiver, though, is losing some BS data when the signal isn't quite good enough for HVS-1. At least with two receivers you can make one BS-only, and the other HVS-1-only.

Re: New PC
Hi David,
The spec I have settled on (almost) is almost identical to yours. I want to do some gaming on this so a graphics card will be necessary. The biggest cost at the moment apart from CPU is RAM. I think 16GB is going to have to do. I have 32 in this PC but now rarely use it since I don't process very large astronomy images. The other issue is that I want to keep it as quiet as possible. I've found liquid cooling very efficient and reduces the dust contamination in the case very considerably. Will give novatech a look. I wont be able to recover much from this PC except one of the HDDs (2TB) Thanks Alan ============================ Alan, 16 GB memory should be fine. I have that in my HVS-1/HVS-2 PC as I use a RAMdisk there for both tmp and received files, and it can get quite full under fault conditions: https://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/lund-ramdisk-trees.html There's a TrimTree running frequently to delete orphaned tmp files, and a RoboCopy running with a minute refresh to move processed files to a hard disk. However, as you're not taking Sentinel data your needs should be less. I take Sentinel data but don't process it. Looking at the memory on a 16 GB interactive PC it seems that over the month the committed memory gradually increases (green) and the available memory (blue) decreases, but not as rapidly. I can't trace what causes this (my AVHRR Manager accounts for a small increase), but Firefox is a major consumer. https://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/kiruna-mem.html Perhaps you can steal some memory? Or is it like CPU pin-outs never compatible! Cooling is certainly important, and I find that a dust clean out once a year (or more often) helps to keep the temperatures down! Fan noise isn't important with my hearing as it is! Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk Twitter: @gm8arv

Re: New PC
Hi all,
Its a while since I built a PC and prices seem to have rocketed particularly for RAM. My second grandson requires a PC for Gaming, so I thought I would give him my current PC with an added graphics card and buy new built/self build for me. I've used ebuyer and scan in the past. Has anyone recent experience of suppliers/builders to share? With Himawari 8 moving to T2 it looks as though I need to grasp the nettle and get a second Rx going and update EUMETCast software. May as well do it as a new install, get my little grey cells working! Cheers Alan ======================================== Alan, I've used Novatech for five PCs and found them very responsive to my particular requirements. https://www.novatech.co.uk/ I've used PC Specialist once, but didn't go back as they seemed somewhat reluctant to move away from their standard configurations. As Thorsten notes, Him-8 will be on TP1, but on the HVS. I have two HVS-1 receivers, an Ayecka SR-1 (set for HVS alone), and a dual-tuner TBS6903 PCIe card working on both HVS-1 and HVS-2. The SR1 HVS-1 system give fewer missed packets - and that's without using any RAMdisk (which rather surprised me!), but the TBS seems to have slightly faster AGC, so less troubled by instantaneous slight signal dips. You could also get a second-hand e.g. TBS5925 and run that just on HVS-1. I take the HVS-1 data on a separate physical HD, and process it to the main data disk. The OS is held on an SSD. I have a graphics card in that PC so that (a) it can run dual monitors (a great productivity gain) and (b) it has the CUDA capability required by some SDR software and used by the OS (and Firefox). - 4-core CPU (6 perhaps). Speed not overly important for EUMETCast. - 16 GB memory or more. - 256 GB SSD for OS. - data disk for saved data and my programs (2-6 TB as you wish). - data disk for HVS-1 (1 TB in my case). - extra network card if second Ayecka SR1. - graphics card not really required just for EUMETCast. - serial card for GPS with PPS for accurate time keeping. - Windows 10 Pro. - plenty of USB ports!

TP2 was a typo or brain fade. I meant HVS which I don't currently take. With a link margin of 2 db or less its going to be a bit intermittent. There is zero possibility of a bigger dish and even getting a new LNB in place can be a bit hazardous given the dishes location. (erected on front of house when there was scaffolding up!) Cheers Alan Will certainly look at PCSpecialist
