I am interested in building a system to receive WEFAX APT
pictures from at least the polar orbiting weather satellites
and maybe also from the geosynchronous ones. One question
I have is: what is a good receiver to use? I have a scanner
that can receive 137.5MHz but it's bandwidth is either 6kHz or 200kHz.
I understand that the appropriate bandwidth would be about 50kHz.

What do other experimenters do in this regard?

P.S. - I would expect to receive the GOES satellites with a down-converter
to the 137 MHz range, so the same receiver could be used for both.
