# Update regarding decommissioning of NOAA-18
NOAA-18 was decommissioned on June 6, 2025 and is no longer available for receiving. This is due to a failing S-Band transmitter used in the control of the satellite. At the time of this update both NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 continue to remain operational

# Introduction
That Rx NOAA App, allows us to receive any of the 3 current operating NOAA weather satellites that are transmitting analogue [APT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_picture_transmission) maps in the 137 MHz band .
Currently, they are using those frequencies, (but in future they may change them, then , better time to time, double check it )
