## Description

NooElecSAWbird GOES - Premium Dual Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) & SAW Filter Module for NOAA (GOES/LRIT/HRIT/HRPT) Applications. 1688MHz Center Frequency

## Features

- SAWbird GOES is a self-contained LNA module designed for capturing beautiful weather images available from NOAA GOES satellites
- Each module contains 2 ultra-low-noise LNAs (single package), sandwiched around a custom-designed, high-performance SAW filter centered at 1688MHz
- SAWbird GOES can be powered in 3 ways: via bias tee, through the on-board microUSB connector, or through DC barrel connector with the included USB to DC connector adapter
- Though compatible with most SDRs, we recommend using in conjunction with NESDR SMArTee XTR v2 (available on desertcart, item ID B06Y1GN5RP). For a higher gain, lower noise version, consider SAWbird+ GOES (available on desertcart, item ID B07GBFNV1H)
- Includes free male SMA to male SMA adapter and USB to DC barrel connector adapter. Full 2 year warranty and support direct through Nooelec!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Ok in not using a bias t. I'm powering through the usb plug. Hook up the dongle and the light goes out. What gives?**
A: Depending on the exact setup, you may need to install a DC block between the SDR and SAWbird if NOT powering via bias tee.  You can emulate this by putting a high quality capacitor in series with the signal line.   It's a bit too complicated to discuss here, so if you have questions contact our support team at support.nooelec.com.  Thanks!

**Q: is this the same as the sawbird+goes?**
A: No, it is a lower gain version, meant for installations that already have higher gain or benefit from lower gain (or have limitations on the available biastee current, and biastee is essential for the installation environment.  For more information, please review the datasheets.  Thanks!

**Q: If i power a sawbird using the bias tee from a smartee sdr: does the sawbird filter dc to antenna? or will i need to use a separate dc block?**
A: Hi!  If I am understanding correctly, you are wondering if the DC is passed through to the antenna side of the SAWbird?  The answer is no, if that is your question.  If not, I'd recommend contacting our support team directly for assistance at support.nooelec.com.  Thanks!
