YAGI GOES SATELLITE ANTENNA 5000-0080

Transmits from Data Collection Platform (DCP) to the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)
  • Made of rust resistant materials
  • Moisture-proof
  • Can be assembled in a few minutes
  • Beamwidth wide enough to illuminate at least two of the GOES satellites- either the GOES East and the GOES Central or the GOES West and the GOES Central when pointed midway between the satellites
  • High gain allows operation with DCPs transmitting at less than 10 Watts with 8.5 Watts typical output.
  • Base of antenna can be installed on a standard 2 inch (2.5 inch max O.D.) vertical pipe pro vid ing a 360 degree azimuth and 180 degree elevation adjustment range
  • Element replacement kits available

Helpful Hints

For sites located near the ocean, use the 5000-0081 version with stainless steel elements. For sites susceptible to chemically corrosive environments, use the 5000-0081. Use the Antenna Pointing Guide on page 144 to determine the proper elevation and azimuth for pointing the antenna at the satellite. Misspointing of the antenna may cause poor communication or no communication at all.
