Hello,
I am looking for a Low Noise Preamplifier for L Band and a Bias Tee.
Down East Microwave seems to be closed for the summer. I was looking at one of their 1296 MHz Preamps and wonder if it could work outside the band, like at 1090 MHz. I got a 1569 MHz preamplifier for GOES but do not have a Bias Tee to try it. The ones I saw were either for up to 1 GHz, or for up to 40+ GHz ($$$).
I got a WinRadio WR-LNA-1500 at Dayton but I did not get a chance to really try it. The WR-LNA-1500 managed to fry two of my receiver's front-ends then destroyed itself when I ran it off of vehicle power. This was before I realized what was going on. The US WinRadio Service Center is checking with Australia HQ to see if they fix that model. So I would rather not buy the Winradio Bias Tee just in case there are more problems. Are there any surplus places that sell Bias Tees? I can deal with SMA connectors.
I tried searching for kits or construction articles for preamplifiers but only found some stuff overseas. Do I have to wait for DEM to reopen?
