Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[noaaport] setting up S300 receiver

I noticed that in the NWS recommended config for the S300 receiver, they manually set the symbol rate to 15.120 Msps. Is this just a relic of the S75 needing to have the symbol rate set automatically? Is there an advantage to manually setting it versus using the S300's automatic detection of the symbol rate? I set our S300 receivers to use auto detection so that if NWS increases the data rate later, I may not need to reconfigure the receiver -- and we have been receiving the NOAAport DVB-S2 signal fine with auto symbol rate detection on two S300 receivers -- but I don't want to lose data if this is a bad idea. 

Thanks, and have a good weekend!

John
