Airspy Warranty

Airspy warranty is limited to 1 year from the date of delivery for purchased units that fail under normal operating conditions. Airspy units will be repaired at a price of $50.00 plus $10.00 shipping/handling. Normal operating conditions do not include excessive mechanical stresses due to mishandling, dropping, or bending; mechanical or electrical modifications; Electro-Static Discharge (ESD); excessive RF signals; excessive thermal stresses due to improper ventilation or cooling, submersion in any fluid; and any unauthorized repairs.
All warranty claims will be determined by Airspy or their representatives.

Accessory Warranty (except Filter/preamp)

Accessory warranty (except Filter/Preamp) is limited to 90 days from the date of delivery for accessories that fail under normal operating conditions. The warranty is limited to electrical failiure. Physical damage is specifically excluded unless such damage arises from normal use. Antennas are generally considered ‘disposable items’, although very limited warranties may be honored. All warranty cases will be determined by Airspy.US for these items. Contact us for any warranty claims.

  • z(DISCONTINUED) 145 MHz Filter/Preamp

    0 out of 5

    Uputronics filtered preamps for improved reception on 145Mhz.

    This is a cost effective SAW based unit which give excellent performance gains.

    All Uputronics preamps are compatible with most USB SDR Dongles such as the Airspy. You can power them from either bias tee (This item is 100% compatible with the Airspy bias-tee) or a simple USB minicable (Purchased separately). Bias tee/USB voltage is 5V max.

    This unit is a small filter and preamp designed to go between a software defined radio receiver and an antenna. Using a SAW bandpass filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA), it stops out of band intermodulation while providing additional gain for increased sensitivity. The LNA is before the SAW filter. To block strong commercial FM signals a high pass filter is installed before the LNA.

    The LNA used is a MiniCircuits PSA4-5043+ which provides at least 21dB of gain. To stop out of band intermodulation a 145Mhz SAW bandpass filter, which has a 7.6MHz bandwidth is also present. The insertion loss of this filter is approximately 1.4dB, which does increase the overall noise figure of the unit to 0.75dB. Connectors are SMA female both sides.

  • 915 MHz Filter/Preamp with TX BYPASS

    5.00 out of 5

    This preamp IS suitable for helium cryptomining (it has a TX Bypass)

     

    Uputronics filtered preamps for improved reception on 915Mhz WITH TX BYPASS.

     

    This unit is a filtered preamp designed to go between a radio transceiver and an antenna which gives excellent performance gains for reception and bypasses the preamplification circuit when a transmission is detected.

     

    Power is either via bias tee or a USB-C cable (Not Supplied – See related items for a suitable USB Type A to C Cable). Bias-tee voltage input is 5V.

     

    Using a SAW bandpass filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA), it stops out of band intermodulation while providing additional gain for increased sensitivity. The LNA is before the SAW filter. These particular models are tuned for use with frequencies centred on 915MHz (893MHz-935MHz). The LNA provides around 15dB of gain at 915MHz.

     

    SMA female connectors are fitted for antenna input and radio output, a blue power indicator is provided which switches to red to indicate the unit is bypass mode. The external power connector is a USB-C.

     

    Max TX power +15dBm (30mW)
    TX detection threshold -5dBm (+/-2dBm)
