Today, I downloaded the latest Keps into HRD after being offline for 2 weeks. Suddenly, I noticed NOAA-19 listed as having a pass today. It shows an FM repeater capability. Wow. I need to keep up, I did not catch this new FM bird. Or am I out of synch and this is not correct?

You're out of sync. ;-)
NOAA 19 has an "FM" downlink on 137 MHz for APT (automatic picture transmission), e.g. 4-km, analog, two-channel AVHRR data.
