## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can i disable the led on the sawbird? I have it installed in a box with a clear lid outside and i don't want it to be visible at night.**
A: Cover it with electrical tape ;-)   That's the easiest way.  You can also remove the LED or the current limiting resistor if you have the tools.  It won't affect the circuit or functionality.  Thanks!

**Q: What is the amount of amplification and what is the noise figure?**
A: The published gain on the Sawbird[+] GOES is 30dB minimum.
The gain on the Sawbird GOES is 20dB.
Can't speak on NF.   Contact Nooelec ?

**Q: What are the frequency range of goes, io, noaa, h1, ir?**
A: This is just for GOES and does excellent at 1694.1 MHz

**Q: Does this also work for noaa satellites at 137mhz?**
A: No, this would not be appropriate for NOAA applications. We actually have a SAWbird available specifically for NOAA satellites at 137 MHz. You can find it on Amazon under product ID B07QQN54CS (barebones) or B07TWPR871 (with enclosure). Thanks for your interest!
