SAWbird+ NOAA - Premium Saw Filter & Cascaded Ultra-Low Noise LNA Module for NOAA Applications. 137MHz Center Frequency

The best APT filter amplifier available for SDR receivers. Plug & Play with no need for software or hardware adjustment. Can be stuck with other filters to eliminate FM broadcast or pager interference. One caveat, they need to be supported.. do not stack them hanging in mid-air otherwise the connector's may break.

Product arrived as promised and works as specified.

Works very well. I use this with my SDRPlay RSP1B for NOAA and Meteor weather satellites. Did have two small issues with it. 1. Caused a local FM Broadcast staion near me to overload my receiver. Used a Nooelec Flamingo BCFM filter to resolve that. 2. Since its the SAWbird+ it drew more current than my RSP1B would deliver so I had to power it via USB. I would recommend, if you have the same receiver, to get the SAWbird NOAA (not the plus version), its current draw is lower and the SDR has no problem with it.

Make sure you install this in the right direction. It isn’t obvious. The white light will go on when it is installed in the right direction. SDR sharp shows significant increase in gain and the images come through very crisp. I use this with RTL SDRv3 and enables bias tee using their Windows application. If using with SDR#, close SDR# before launching rtl_biast.exe. You will probably have to change the device ID from 0 to 1 like I did. If it works then you will get Found Rafael... message then the program quits. Plug in the LNA and the light should turn on. That’s it.

It reduces FM radio and air band around 10dB, and now I can receives good NOAA images under 30 degree elevations which is impossible before I install this LNA!

Got this to help recieve NOAA weather images.

Second Nooelec item that hasn’t worked for me. Made NOAA reception worse than my original setup. I ended up returning it and have had better success with a 14$ LNA off Amazon.

I have this installed on my roof (inside a waterproof box). It's been running all summer in pretty extreme heat with no problems. I have it hooked to a Raspberry Pi, RTL-SDR and QFH antenna for receiving NOAA / METEOR weather satellite images. I would definitely buy this again.

Low-noise amplifier with the filtering lower-cost SDRs need for best results. Nicely packaged.

Gebruikt voor de ontvangst van noaa weersateliet niet lang plezier van gehad eerste unit werkte niet bij aankoop weer een nieuwe besteld deed het na een dag al niet meer. Vind het een slecht product behoort gewoon na behoren jaren te werken .

Absolutely awesome piece of electronics 💯👍🇦🇺

I was having problems copying NOAA weather satellites due to nearby strong signals. This SAW filter and pre-amplifier has completely eliminated the problem. I was able to place he Sawbird unit in a weatherproof box at the antenna and power it through the coaxial cable with the bias-t feature. It works great.
