I have never asked when the tech was working on the system, original
install or serviceing it. I have only stoped to check on him while at
work. In the days of this we have to watch out for the homeland security.

He stated that it worked off of low oberting satatlites but as far as
frequency range I never asked. Drive by and chck with a frequency counter
and see what comes up. It will be all packet data, with short transmit
times.

USGS installs these monitor sites for the water level, temp etc.....

They usually seem to be pointed up into the sky (towards some satellite); is
there information available about these satellites, their downlink
frequencies, format of the data, etc.?
