RTL-SDR compatible decoder application for the Meteor M2 weather satellite

I'm in the military. The ability to scrape weather data from a satellite or tune a random radio while huddled in a tent, or on the deck of a ship at sea, is VERY appreciated. My SDR dongle is in my strange tools bag, right beside my lockpicks. You don't need them every day, but once in a blue moon they might save a life.

That's the spirit! If this mindset doesn't exemplify the hacker mindset/ethos, I don't know what does.

I love the "strange tools bag". And what else is in there :-)

Nothing too extreme. A powerful wifi dongle with a few antennas. A kick-ass waterproof laser pointer. A 20,000mwh cellphone charger. Spare cellphone. Spare name/rank tags. An small aviation knife. Just problem-solving stuff for long road trips.
