HRPT GnuRadio Decoders by Peter Kooistra
Peter was so kind to provide me the GNU Radio HRPT live Decoders he made and allowed me to make them public
There a re thre different grc scripts for NOAA18, NOAA19 and MeteorM2 that all use a Airspy mini as an input, what can also be change quite easy.
NEW: There are now Demodulators for MetOp and FengYun Satellites as well from Peter.
You can find him on Twitter @petermeteor
Here are some tips from peter:
- Adjust the AGC Blocks if needed for optimal results
- Bias-T can be activated in the signal source
- for Airspy-mini use 3M , for R2 use 2.5M samplerate
Great Result's with peters live Decoder
If your Signal is strong enough,
you can get some really great looking images from the Satellites NOAA18 and NOAA19 with peters Decoder.

Download
NOAA18 live Decoder
Decodes the Signal and produces a file that contains the Data already fomratted for HRPT Reader
MeteorM2 live Decoder
Decodes the Signal and creates a File that uses Reed Solomon and Manchester Encoding. You need to process the output with MetFy3x from Oleg as usual with that Satellite to get the right Data to create an image.
DownloadMetOp live Demodulator
Demodulates the Signal and creates a raw File. You need to process the output with the Standalone Decoder by USA-Satcom first, then you use MetFy3x from Oleg as usual to get the right Data to create an image.
DownloadFengYun live Demodulator
Demodulates the Signal and creates a raw File. You need to process the output with the Standalone Decoder by USA-Satcom first, then you use MetFy3x from Oleg as usual to get the right Data to create an image.
