Has anyone pulled a VHF Rx to enable the Wx APT transmissions at
137.1MHz? *If so, how easy is the conversion?
If not, a downconverter to enable the Wx signals to be received on a
VHF wideband broadcast receiver.
Can anyone point me in the direction any cirecuits, kits or any mixer
circuits or any other info regarding this project. *Complete systems
from Timestep, ICS and Hamtronics etc are reather expensive. :-)

I got into this years ago and modified a Radio Shack Weather Cube
radio. I don't remember the specifics but it wasn't difficult. I think
all you need to rx the weather sats is a radio and a PC with a sound
card. Free software is available.
