“Excellent bit of kit for tracking aircraft, I have this hooked up to a Pi Zero 2 W and the 60cm antenna feeding data to FlightAware. It is currently tracking 142 aircraft out to a distance of 200NM.”
“Nice and simple, well designed and built USB receiver. I have it in my Pi Zero W v1.1 (so one of the very first early versions) and it works well with no power issues from the Pi itself. Definitely recommend for any kind of aircraft tracking!”
“Have two of these running 24/7. Both working perfectly and don’t seem to get hot. A few commands in terminal will let you feed other providers such as ADSB Exchange and Flight Radar etc.”
“I have been feeding data to Flightradar24 using a generic SDR and my Raspberry Pi4 and usually had around 40 planes showing at any one time and a maximum range of 130NM. I live in a city on the South coast of the UK so there is a lot of interference from WiFi, cordless phones, cell phones etc. so I bought one of these Flightaware ProStick Plus SDR and as soon as it was up and running (30 seconds) I could see 99 planes and easily out to 200NM. Totally amazing! Great service as usual from the PiHut so this was the easiest upgrade ever.”
