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?

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!

is this the same as the sawbird+goes?

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!

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?

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!
