How can i disable the led on the sawbird? I have it installed in a box with a clear lid outside and i don't want it to be visible at night.

Cover it with electrical tape ;-) That's the easiest way. You can also remove the LED or the current limiting resistor if you have the tools. It won't affect the circuit or functionality. Thanks!

What is the amount of amplification and what is the noise figure?

The published gain on the Sawbird[+] GOES is 30dB minimum. The gain on the Sawbird GOES is 20dB. Can't speak on NF. Contact Nooelec ?

What are the frequency range of goes, io, noaa, h1, ir?

This is just for GOES and does excellent at 1694.1 MHz

Does this also work for noaa satellites at 137mhz?

No, this would not be appropriate for NOAA applications. We actually have a SAWbird available specifically for NOAA satellites at 137 MHz. You can find it on Amazon under product ID B07QQN54CS (barebones) or B07TWPR871 (with enclosure). Thanks for your interest!
