Cheap L-BAND patch antenna (for inmarsat?)

[Jekko]

Hello,

on the Facebook page of SDRPLAY i saw this product

https://www.sdr-kits.net/L-Band-Receive%20Antenna

The productor claims that the product is tested only for the Sdrplay receivers.

I have a rsp1a.

My questions are:
Is this product suitable for INMARSAT reception?
Does someone have this antenna and saw that it works?

Thank you very much

I just ordered one and will let you know.
Give it some time to get to the states.

Thank you so much, Mike. It's kind by your side

No problem at all. I am curious to see what I can pick up in the L-Band with this antenna here in South Florida.

Matthew Miller from FB got the l-band antenna and have been so kind to put a review, and it seems to work great!

He mounted the l-band antenna over a drain pipe because "someone on Facebook" *whistles* asked him to give us an idea of how it works without a dish.

I am waiting for my antenna, i am so curious to see if it works for me

I picked up a cheap active L-band patch antenna from an online seller and stuck it in place of the driven element of a homebew 1500 MHz yagi. Pic attached. Second pic is some of the stuff I received. The antenna was indoors and beaming through a brick wall, I'm sure it would have been a lot better outdoors.

I received both GPS patch antennas from SDR-Kits today and they work just fine with the RSP1a/RSP2,2pro and Duo with no issues
