Tom knows more about this than I do. Hopefully, he'll chime in.

AFAIK, your existing Novra receiver can be reprogrammed to receive the new 
broadcast. If you want to receive both broadcasts, then you'll need two 
receivers.

I'm not sure what you mean by "ETH2 (a 3rd network card)".

Tom?

> Will LDM 6.7 be able to use this feed? How?

If the UDP packets are the same, then the LDM 6.7 NOAAPORT ingest will handle 
them the same. I don't know if the UDP packets will be the same.

I don't know. I don't follow the data all that well.
