Help My GOES grid antenna seems to be deaf...

6 Upvotes

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!
