Joe,

You know, you have to watch your mailboxes continuously to make sure
that things like this don't escape :-)

>I tried the

I couldn't find a list of vendors in our web pages either.

>I am aware of only 3 vendors at the moment ---
>Alden, Unisys and SSEC.  Do you have any further info.

I did the following to get the information:

o went to http://home.netscape.com
o selected snap.com as my search engine (I find snap.com and google.com
  to be particularly useful)
o used the pharse "noaaport receiver" as a search key
o found a reference to the "NOAAPORT Users Guide" at
  http://www.nws.noaa.gov/noaaport/html/noaaport.shtml 
o went to the page and found a "Manufacturers List" link:
  http://www.nws.noaa.gov/noaaport/html/manu_lst.shtml

The final page lists eight references for "NOAAPORT Receive Systems".
I'll let you go to the link since I don't want to include information
in our tracking system that will probably become stale (I am betting
that the NOAAPORT page will remain uptodate even if the list of
manufacturers changes).

>Thanks much.

You are welcome.

Tom
