GOES antenna, PREAMP, 1691 to 137.50MHZ down converter are all available
from: Spectrum Internation, Inc., P.O. Box 1084S, Concord, MA 01742.
      Phone (508)-263-2145.  Expect to pay about $700.00 for it.

Software: Elmer W. Schwittek, 2347 Coach House Lane, Naples, FLA 33942.
      Phone (813)-434-2268.  About $45~50 for a decent scan coverter pkg.
      for IBM PC compatibles.  Also, he includes some filter and A/D prints.

I can not say anything about SI, have not used them (saw ad in '73 mag.).
Elmer's software works pretty good.  You'll also WANT to get a 'gray scale'
monitor.  There is quite a difference from looking at a mush of colors and
16 gray scales for your images...

Hope this helps.
