NooElec SAWbird+ GOES - Premium Saw Filter & Cascaded Ultra-Low Noise LNA Module for NOAA (GOES/LRIT/HRIT/HRPT) Applications. 1688MHz Center Frequency

I was apprehensive about purchasing this device after being disappointed with the perfomance of Nooelecs Distlll-FM and Distill-AM filter products. However, I was impressed with this device when coupled with a small parabolic grid dish. In operation 24/7, this amp/antenna combo perform almost flawlessly with only a few errors (<10) occurring every day. The twin amplifiers provide adequate signal gain while the built-in filter attenuates nearby interference extremely well. Highly recommended for its intended application.

Works great for doing what it is supposed to do! Nice to have a mounted unit with less handling worries. Easier to mount than raw boards. Built like they used to build things!

Opened it up and it looks like an iridium filter not a goes filter plus I can power it cause plugging in an sdr or antenna shuts it off.

didnt do anything useful

This is the right tool for the job, worked with bias-t on two different rtl-sdrs, clean reception over 24 hour period, sturdy case protects components

Essential for receiving GOES HRIT data. Install immediately after antenna feed in correct orientation and make sure its powered (LED should be lit).

Works great! I tried a general purpose amp but I couldnt get GOES 16. With this I get a very strong, stable signal.

Maybe labeling the input/output would help? Especially for the mentally challenged such as myself... Sat there for an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.. Unit works great! Thanks

Used with a grid dish antenna and a Nooelec RTL Smartee. Vit average <450, 0 packet drops.
