Configuration example for a weather satellite receiver station for polar orbiter (NOAA) satellites.  To avoid interference, the antenna should be mounted in some distance from the computer.

Power comes either from the supplied power-adaptor or any other 12-V DC source (only about 150 mA).   DC for the antenna KX-137 is automatically supplied throught the coaxial antenna cable from the WRX-137 receiver. Frequency selection is either manual or automatic, controlled from the PC software.
