Review on πŸ›°οΈ Nooelec GOES Weather Satellite Mesh Antenna - 21dBi Parabolic Antenna with 1.7GHz Center Frequency, 200MHz+ Bandwidth, LMR400 Feed Cable (Male SMA Connector), Mounting Hardware, and 2-Year Warranty: Improve SEO by Temarquis Lopez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent GOES imaging results

I first mounted the antenna on a ball head tripod to get the azimuth, elevation, tilt and electronics working. I am using a Smartee SDR and SAWbird+GOES with a parabolic antenna mounted directly (in a PVC tube attached to the mast) and connected to my rPI4 with a 15ft USB-3 cable. I usually get <350 vit with no drops. I used this setup for the GOES-17 as well, but on our trees I mainly use the antenna for the GOES-16. Be patient with the alignment, it's a bit forgiving but should be close.

Pros
  • This 21dBi gain antenna is designed for high gain L-band applications when the antenna is fixed mounted. The center frequency is 1.75 GHz and the bandwidth is 200 MHz or more. This includes many popular applications for meteorological satellites and constellations
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about this, everything is fine
