“This is the best option if you want to run ADSB radar in home to view aeroplanes around you, has built in amplifier and filter which increase signal of adsb messages and reduce noises. Works much better than regular RTL2832 dongle. I see aeroplanes from 260nautical miles (about 480 kilometers) I highly recommend this dongle.”

“The FlightAware Pro Stick delivers on it's promise: a significant improvement over the standard USB dongle without the band filter. The order was shipped overseas by the PiHut without any delay. Great purchase!”

“After my initial investment of a ADS-B USB Dongle (R820T2) + Small Indoor Antenna from Jetvision to monitor aircraft on FlightRadar24, I was pleased enough with the performance. I already had an externally mounted antenna which I was able to use. I ordered up an MCX-BNC adapter, connected it up and there was a big improvement overall in Positions and Hits. Then I looked into both the RTL-SDR and FlightAware Pro Plus SDR, they both have their advantages, so I decided on the FlightAware Pro Plus. To install I simply stopped the FlightRadar24 feeder software, removed the Jetvision dongle and plugged in the FlightAware Pro Plus SDR. Ran the 'lsusb' command on the Raspberry Pi to make sure I could see it ok and restarted the FlightAware Pro Plus. Well the difference was phonomonal. Immediately I started picking up aircraft beyond >200nm, which never happened on the Jetvision dongle. I think it is all to do with the Amplifier and Filter that are built in on FlightAware Pro Plus. I was so impressed I also purchased their "1090MHz ADS-B N-Type Antenna 26" Which I hope to install in the near future. The image below shows the Monday to Friday traffic recordings in the hight 700s to low 800s. On Thursday evening at about 17:30 or so I plugged in the FlightAware Pro Plus ADS-B SDR and bang the traffic spiked, and remained consistently higher. I'm delighted with my purchase the difference it has made. Regards, Niall”

“Before this stick I used a normal DVB-T stick, with 2-300 message rate, after when upgraded the stick, increased to 6-700. This is a very-very good product and good comapny!”
