Unique NES Identifier
>NESID=
12345678
>OK
This is a hexadecimal alphanumeric
identifier for this GOES station (for this
place, not for the transmitter). Must
end in an even number.
NESID Channel
>TCH=
195
>OK
Channel number specified by NESID.
NESID Baud Rate
>TBR=
300
>OK
Baud rate varies between platforms.
NOAA will assign you a baud rate
based on the information provided.
Transmission Interval
>TIN=
00:01:00:00
>OK
The transmission interval is defined
with how often transmissions are
made and is specified in dd:hh:mm:ss
format. Valid range is 00:00:05:00 to
30:23:59:59.
First Transmission Time
>FTT=
00:43:00
>OK
First time of transmission in
hh:mm:ss format and in 24 hour
clock.
Valid range is 00:00:00 to 23:59:59.
Transmission Window
Length
>TWL=
10
>OK
Window sizes can vary. The most
common are 10 or 15 second
windows.
Table 1: NOAA Transmit parameters setting examples
The transmitter will always return a “OK” message when the parameters above are entered
correctly. Check the entered values if any parameter gives a different answer.
