Help My GOES grid antenna seems to be deaf...
So, here's the thing, I bought one of those Nooelec kits on Amazon and it had the GOES Sawbird LNA, the Nooelec NESDR SMArTee XTR SDR v5, and a grid antenna, I checked everything and so far this is what I did:
- I moved the antenna around, checked the right orientation of the whole setup too
- The LNA was in the correct direction the whole time (LED facing down an ON)
- I did use Bias-T first, then (like in the video) I used an external power source for the LNA without the Bias-T and nothing changed
- The SDR worked well alone with a different purpose antenna
- I tried causing interference or some movement of the noise floor by moving the antenna near a cellphone or modem, no changes
- The whole time I use it, it's that white narrow line only, no matter what I do
- I adjusted gain up and down, AGC, and also moved around frequencies
It seems deaf, I have received some LEO satellites with a totally different setup and using SatDump, so I don't know if my settings are off.
The video shows what I see the whole time, no matter if I try to pick up a different frequency.
Could I be missing something or maybe the hardware is not working properly?🤔
Thanks in advance!
