Review on πŸ“‘ Nooelec SAWbird GOES - Premium Dual LNA with Ultra-Low Noise & Saw Filter Module for NOAA Applications at 1688MHz Center Frequency. by Andrew Grimes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No instructions or specifications!

I received what is shown in the picture plus a cable with a USB plug on one end and an unknown size socket on the other. My guess is that this cable is used to power the device from an unknown power source at an unknown voltage. There were no instructions or diagrams included. The device does not indicate which SMA connector is an input and which is an output. Does anyone know the answers to these questions? Please don't reply with "I guess it should be like that". If you don't know, please don't try to answer. 1 Which SMA connector is the antenna input. 2 If the device is powered from a USB port, DC power is present on one of the SMA connectors. 3 If using the supplied power adapter cable, determine the ideal input voltage and polarity. 4 What is the ideal input voltage for the USB port. 5 What are the operating temperature limits of the device? It would be nice to receive this information along with the device.

Pros
  • External components
Cons
  • Sad packaging
