“Perfect complement RTLSDR receiver for using with piaware, it cost a few pounds extra for the plus model which includes a 1090 filter, worth it if you live in a urban area. Really easy to setup and use.”
“I set this up as I live 5km from an airport - within minutes I was live tracking flights in the vicinity and sending them to the flightaware website. It also comes with free premium access. Its a really nice piece of kit that makes you feel you are contributing to something with your pi.”
“The flight aware pro stick plus works very well in an sub-urban environment. With a small £5 antenna placed on the side of the window it can reach upto 200+ miles.”
“A good device but looks unstable when plugged into a USB port horizontally. The weight of the device and the weight of connecting cable tend to put a strain on the USB Connector. I found it better to insert it in an USB that was a vertical connection. Also needs a special driver which sometimes gets lost when the computer is turned off and needs to be reinstalled. Otherwise it does the job perfectly.”
