• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

NOAA APT system

I am taking offers for my NOAA APT receive system. The system is made up of a R2ZX receiver, a National RF 137 MHz QFH antenna with pre-amp, and a Vanguard Turnstile Antenna with pre-amp. The receiver is only three months old, the QFH is a week old, and the turnstile antnenna is over 10 years old (In very good shape). Can be used on the road while storm chasing also!!

I have vision problems and purchased this system to have as a hobby. However, I can't spend the time needed to setup the system.

Make me an offer I cannot refuse!
 
Info

Yes...APT is from the three remaining NOAA low earth orbit satellites. Each satellite passes over your location twice a day. This is the equipment needed to receive the fax signal.

Forgot to add...also including a Uniden BC-145 scanner which is modified for satellites and a Hamtronics preselctor.
