Works great in outdoor enclosure on my roof
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021

I have this installed on my roof (inside a waterproof box). It's been running all summer in pretty extreme heat with no problems. I have it hooked to a Raspberry Pi, RTL-SDR and QFH antenna for receiving NOAA / METEOR weather satellite images. I would definitely buy this again.

Highly Satisfied Customer

Great preamp. Use it with a RTL-SDR. Get fantastic horizon to horizon images. Must admit I am currently using my 2meter cross yagi. Bought it to replace a blown antenna mounted preamp on my Quadrifilar Helix. As soon as I figure out a good waterproofing technique I will get up on the roof and mount it close to the omni helix. Right now I have it connected directly to the RTL-SDR dongle. WA8EBM

Produces high gain and crisp images
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019

Verified Purchase
Make sure you install this in the right direction. It isn’t obvious. The white light will go on when it is installed in the right direction.

SDR sharp shows significant increase in gain and the images come through very crisp. I use this with RTL SDRv3 and enables bias tee using their Windows application. If using with SDR#, close SDR# before launching rtl_biast.exe. You will probably have to change the device ID from 0 to 1 like I did. If it works then you will get Found Rafael... message then the program quits. Plug in the LNA and the light should turn on. That’s it.

Instructions neeed

It needs detailed instructions. You need a DC block if powering other than bias-T.
