Most, if not all sites doing NOAAPort ingestion are using Norsat 3120 or
3220 PLL (Phase Lock Loop) LNBs.  I have not heard of any site using a
Norsat 8250.

The great majority of Unidata sites that are doing NOAAPort ingest (and
this includes National Weather Service Forecast Offices) are using
either RedHat Enterprise or CentOS OSes.  I think I remember that one
of our sites is running NOAAPort ingest on an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS OS,
but I can't swear to that being the case at the moment.

Also, the most typical size of dish used for NOAAPort ingest is 3.8m, that
is what we and all National Weather Service Forecast Offices are using.

In addition, the typical receiver being used for NOAAPort ingestion is
the Novra S300N.

What other suggestions are you looking for?

Cheers,
