With a 1.7GHz dish I'm getting a great GOES downlink! Works great with the RTLSDR Blog V3 built-in bias tee.

What can I say, I have been impressed with all of Nooelecs products, of which I have several! This Sawbird+ for GOES is perfect for my application which was to build a GOES receiving station from a Raspberry PI, and a Nooelec Smartee XTR with an attached GOES Sawbird+. I like that it has multiple ways to power it depending on the application. As an anecdotal side note, it works great in the cold as well, have had -2 f temps and all is working well! Highly recommended! usradioguy.com

Works as described for the GOES HRIT decoder project. (I used a pi 3B+ and a grid dish and homemade feed out of stuff I already had) It would be better if there was an option to down convert the signal for long cable runs, so that is why I am giving it 4/5. But overall it was a really fun project, and this a a big part of what makes it work hardware wise.

I would give this 5 stars but the USB power does not work at all. Still works with bias t though. Decided to keep it anyways. I have had a few items from NooElec arrive as malfunctioning. Overall I am happy with their products because the price allows hobbyists to experiment without going broke.
