Hi!
I recently built a QFH antenna for receiving NOAA weather satellites. I did some initial testing with my kenwood handheld and got a strong clear signal, however when I hooked the antenna up to my BladeRF it couldn't see anything.
I even turned up all the amplifiers and nada. Do I need to add an LNA to my antenna to get it to pick up anything? It seems like the sensitivity should be better.
Thanks.
