## Overview

The Nooelec GOES Weather Satellite Mesh Antenna is a high-performance 21dBi parabolic antenna optimized for L-Band satellite signals around 1.7GHz. Designed for use with SDR systems and compatible with multiple weather satellites (GOES, NOAA, Meteor M2, Metop, FengYun), it features a robust LMR400 feed cable with SMA connector and a superior adjustable mount for precise azimuth and elevation alignment. Lightweight and versatile, it supports both linear and circular polarizations, delivering detailed, near real-time satellite imagery. The package includes mounting hardware and a 2-year warranty, with full support from Nooelec.

## 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.

Review: Peut-être que j'ai eu un coup de malchance avec mon produit, comme le mentionnent les avis. 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: The antenna came with an undocumented bonus! The dish to pipe system has been upgraded. Included is a mount (see PIX) that allows the elevation and azimuth to be adjusted while the dish is firmly secured to the vertical pipe. The original 'L' plate is included, marked "Alternate Mounting Bracket". The new system is FAR superior: After locking the dish down on the pipe, the azmiuth and elevation are easily tweaked. Once in position, two nuts are tightened and done. This new mount is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation - it is attached to the dish exactly as the original 'L' bracket would have been... There are issues with the original 'L' bracket, with the elevation slot. The clamp holding the entire dish assembly must be loose to adjust AZ/EL, while keeping the clamp stable. Adjusting one causes the other to slip and a third arm is really helpful. I know this for fact, as I have another 2' solid dish using the exact same 'L' bracket. The new AZ/EL mount alone makes the price of this dish acceptable. OK, in conjunction with the NooElec SAW+GOES filter/amplifier driving 20' of double shielded RG-55 cable (53 Ohms), the dish performs fine, in a snowstorm here. The SDR here is the RSP1a by SDRPlay, and SATdump software is used for decoding the images. The SAW filter and amp must be mounted at the pigtail lead from the dish. Any additional cable between the dish and SAW WILL degrade overall performance. My SAW is powered by an external bias-tee between the SDR and cable end in the shack, as the RSP1a lacks sufficient current capability on it's bias-tee. Note that the NooElec SAW+Goes is NOT waterproof. As can be just seen in the PIX, I used a 5" long pill bottle, with a hole drilled in the top to just accept the pigtail lead. After connecting the pigtail and output coax, the SAW slides up into the bottle, and coax seal waterproofs the top of the assembly. That said, as others have indicated, the overall quality of the dish is marginal to poor. Fit and finish is rough. There are sharp, unfinished edges between the dish mesh sectors that can cut skin. I gave a 5-Star rating due to the inclusion of the superior AZ/EL mounting system. Big PLUS. I installed this rig during a snowfall...note the mount PIX. The mount has two bushings at 90 degrees from each other, with a long 10mm bolt. When loose, the azmiuth and elevation are easily adjusted - there are detents on the mount to make positioning easier. Once set, simply tighten the two bolts ... no messing with the mount to pipe brackets. I may be wrong, but NooElec does not manufacture this kit. The antenna boom assemble has Chinese labeling, and no pains were taken on the dish fit and finish. Have Fun! UPDATE after several days of perfect reception: Observing the picture of the mount, note the coax pigtail exiting the feed antenna boom. It is impeding the elevation - it is just about maxed out at 39 degrees due to the pigtail. Simply reversing (rotate 180 degrees) the dish on the mount places the pigtail BELOW the elevation adjust, allowing full 90 degrees of EL if desired. This new mount is lights out good!

## 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! Additional information and assembly instructions: support.nooelec.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058812593

## Questions & Answers

**Q: There's some thin plastic on the metal piece that goes in the middle of the dish, I guess it's the collector, should it be removed?**
A: Yes, it is just to protect it.  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.

While it's only a dipole, which means you take a 3dB (half power) hit on a RHCP signal, it still works phenomenally well for GOES. Mine is on a AZ/EL tracking system, so I t also works phenomenally on HRT signals from NOAA and meteor. You HAVE to use the SAWBIRD filter with this antenna for GOES, and it HAS TO be right at the antenna - not 10' away. other than that, works great, and the price point was decent too.
