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

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.

Did not work properly. Had to purchase another one. Also, the price was higher on Amazon rather than other online stores.

didnt do anything useful

Absolutely necessary for HRPT, GOES (HRIT/LRIT), and virtually any other L band application in or near this range.

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

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

This unit improved my reception distance from 5 miles to as much as 100 miles using the same antenna. Compact unit, works very well.

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

I previously tried generic and wide-band LNAs, and this is 100% better. I was able to receive GOES satellite data using a *very* marginal dish (TV dish with cardboard and foil extensions). Would highly recommend this to anyone interested in amateur satellite projects.
