RECORDER-WEATHER DATA FACSIMILE RO-402/UMH The purpose of facsimile recorder RO-402/ UMH is to reproduce meteorological information transmitted from satellite-borne weather sen- sors. The transmitted information may be re- corded directly from a weather satellite receiving station or from a magnetic tape. Provisions have been made to connect to land-line circuits when necessary. The recorder may be operated as a remote unit such as the Recorder Group 0A-8726/UMH (figure 6-12), or used in con- junction with the Receiver Recorder Set, AN/ SMQ-6A(V). (See figure 6-13.) For more detailed information refer to Operation and Maintenance Instructions Manual, NAVAIR 50-30RO-1. RECORDER TEST SET TS3011/GMM The test set is used for alignment and main- tenance of the various facsimile recorders. The test set provides the necessary signals to check the starting, phasing, video (shades of gray and resolution), AGC, and stopping functions of the recorder. For more detailed informa- tion refer to NAVAIR 17-15B-50. Illilfikiiilllll i. MECHANICAL SATELLITE TRACKING EQUIPMENT Valuable meteorological information is re- ceived from the Automatic Picture Transmis- sion (APT) System contained on meteorological satellites. Before this data can be received, a directional antenna must be directed at the satellite so as to acquire the maximum possible signal strength with a minimum of noise. The procedure used to keep the antenna pointed at the satellite is referred to as '•; Figure 6
