Review on πŸ”Š Nooelec Lana - High-Performance Ultra Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) Module for RF & Software Defined Radio (SDR) with Enclosure & Accessories. Versatile Wideband 20MHz-4000MHz Frequency Capability with Bias Tee & USB Power Options. by Gina Estevez

Works well with Bias-T. Many sources of noise in the home have been eliminated.

Turned on immediately when I enabled Bias-T of my USB-SDR via utility. And I immediately noticed that many of the noise spikes I got from switching power supplies and other electronics in my house were gone. The FFT display in SDR# was much flatter (and showed a lot of gain too). My only issue is that I bought it to try and boost the NOAA weather satellite signal to 137.xxxMHz. And if Lana is online, I get nothing. But since it cleans up other stations and transmissions so well, I attribute this to operator error, not Lana. In the end, I simply use the discone, which is not optimal in terms of layout or polarization. I really need to build a QFH antenna.

Pros
  • There's something there
Cons
  • weak
