Seems good. A fairly small antenna so it's not going to be the best out there I suppose. I don't have an ideal location for placement but I've received aircraft over 100nm away. Base attaches to metal easily. Pi-Hut service was excellent, shipped overseas very quickly.

Not much to say on this. Does what it says! Was surprised how good the performance was for such a small antenna

Super long cable, very flexible. Nice magnetic base. Antenna itself is threaded into the base and thus removable.

PiHut performance of delivery promptly from stock was faultless whereas FlightAware software and online support was/is not faultless.

As small whip antennas go, its fine, and yes you will pickup some ADS-B signals if there are planes near enough, but I think to describe it as an ADS-B 1090MHz antenna is plainly inaccurate. It just isn't the right length. But all is not lost. Cut off the cable from the antenna and use the cable to make yourself a 'can-tenna'. Doing this has near doubled the number of ADS-B positions I receive.
