Review on πŸ›°οΈ NooElec SAWbird+ GOES - Enhanced Saw Filter & Ultra-Low Noise LNA Module for NOAA (GOES/LRIT/HRIT/HRPT) Applications. 1688MHz Central Frequency by Brian Davis

A very powerful machine!

I was reluctant to purchase this unit after being disappointed with the performance of the Nooelec Distll FM and Distill AM filters. However, I was impressed with this device when paired with a small parabolic trellis dish. In 24-hour operation, 7 days a week, this amplifier-antenna combination works almost flawlessly, with only a few errors (<10) occurring per day. Two amplifiers ensure adequate signal amplification, and the built-in filter rejects nearby interference very well. Highly recommended for the intended application.
