NOAA 18 / NOAA 19 Frequency Change
NOAA 18 and NOAA 19 changed frequencies on 23 June 2009, with NOAA 18 now
on 137.9125 and NOAA 19 on 137.10. If your copy of WXtoImg hasn't picked up
this change, see the Support section for more information on how to ensure
you pick up these changes automatically.
NOAA 18/19: Getting Frequency Changes
Start WXtoImg;
in Options -> Active APT satellites
-> check box "Update this table when...", and click OK button,
then select: File -> Update Keplers; and
finally select: Options -> Save Options.
Getting NOAA 19 Kepler Updates
Start WXtoImg;
in Options -> Internet Options -> Select "Celestrak", and click OK button,
then select: File -> Update Keplers; and
finally select: Options -> Save Options.
NOAA 15 / NOAA 17 Frequencies Changed
NOAA-15, 137.620 MHz
NOAA-17, 137.500 MHz
NOAA 15 and NOAA 17 swapped frequencies on 12 October 2010, with NOAA 15
now on 137.620 and NOAA 17 on 137.500. If you haven't picked up the changes,
you should check Options -> Active APT Satellites, and ensure Update this
table when updating Keplers is selected. File -> Update Keplers will pickup
the new frequency changes. Options -> Save Options will ensure the frequency
changes are saved for the next time you start WXtoImg.
