Featuring a wide 200MHz+ bandwidth and versatile polarization support, it delivers detailed, near real-time satellite imagery with minimal pointing effort. Included LMR400 cable and mounting hardware ensure easy setup, while a 2-year warranty and expert support guarantee reliability for serious weather enthusiasts and professionals alike. ## Description The included antenna is a high-performance L-Band GOES weather satellite parabolic antenna. It has a gain of ~21dBi and an LMR400 cable terminated with male SMA connectors to connect to your gear. The antenna is linearly polarized (vertical or horizontal depending on the mounting), with an electric field aligned with the main reflector and feed-point grid lines. It can be deployed for both linearly and circularly polarized signals (RHCP and LHCP). Assembled antenna dimensions are 0.99m x 0.61m x 0.38m (39" x 24" x 15"). It weighs about 2kg (70.5oz). Our GOES antenna performs highly effectively when paired with the SAWbird+ GOES LNA module (NOT included) This antenna receives GOES broadcasts with ease due to its fairly confined radiation pattern, without the necessity of highly accurate pointing at the target satellite, as it features a 3dB beam width of 15deg (+/- 7.5deg) on the axis parallel to the main reflector and feed-point grid lines, and 10deg (+/- 5deg) on the orthogonal axis. It is recommended to mount the antenna on a pole of not more than 5cm (2") in diameter, and would perform equally well when mounted vertically or horizontally.

Je suis un opérateur radioamateur et ce n'est pas ma première transaction avec Nooelec pour des produits de LOISIRS. En général, c'est assez précis et les informations fournies reflètent fidèlement la réalité, mais ce qui est surtout important, c'est que les produits sont constants. Concernant l'antenne, je vais tout de même demeurer concis dans mes commentaires. Si vous êtes novice, envisagez peut-être de devoir acquérir des vises plus longues ou de travaille un peu le métal de l'antenne afin que les vises passent à travers les trois structures au niveau du beam central. Cependant, elle présente une belle apparence et fonctionne correctement sur les signaux des divers satellites après 45 à 60 minutes de mise en position. Review: Major Improvements With The Mounting System - Review Updated ## Features - This 21dB antenna is designed to be used in conjuntion with an RF system (SDR, filter & LNA) to provide detailed, high-resolution, near real-time images from orbiting weather satellites. Applications include GOES (HRIT & LRIT), NOAA HRPT, Meteor M2 HRPT, Metop, FengYun and other satellites that operate near 1.6GHz-1.8GHz - Can be deployed for both linearly and circularly polarized signals (RHCP and LHCP) - Software is required for the decoding of images. The recommended option is SatDump, which is cross-platform and available for Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android. There are also other free Linux-based decoders, or the paid version of XRIT Decoder for Windows (license not included with purchase) - Full support and service directly through Nooelec!

Thanks! **Q: What cables and connectors do i need? I bought the bundle but no cables or connectors. No instructions..** A: All the connectors are SMA. You need 30-35 feet of LMR 400 cable with Sma connectors at each end. Make sure all outside connections are sealed against the weather. The lna must be put in a watertight box. Silicone sealer DOES NOT stick very well to LMR 400. **Q: The discription says it has lrm400. does it? There's a bundle but its out of stock and it has a picture of it but there's no picture here.** A: On this antenna there is only about 16 inch long RG8 that comes out of the feed assy. There is no LMR 400 included. There is a bundle available that has everything you need to get started, except software. **Q: Bias tee needed** A: Yes I have an SDRPlay SDR2 and the antenna works fine with the bias voltage from that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Pas terrible *by M***T on 23 May 2025* Peut-être que j'ai eu un coup de malchance avec mon produit, comme le mentionnent les avis.
