“Bought this to replace a DVB-T stick that I was using to input data to the FR24 network. Astounded at the difference; its raised my average range from 88nm to 125nm. As well as a dramatic increase in range, my 'hits reported' and 'positions reported' have also increased significantly.
I'm extremly happy with this stick and highly recommend it.”
“Excellent improvement over my rtl-sdr dongle.
Range has gone up from 195nm to 244nm
Getting much more positions reported and traffic levels have also gone up.
I'm using a home brew antenna which is loft mounted and still getting good performance. I'm sure if I was to go for a proper external antenna I would be getting full range. It is a big improvement over the previous dongle.
Good service as always with the PiHut and fast delivery and well packaged.
If your using a Generic dongle and wanting to track ADSB Data get one of these you won't be disappointed.”
“Great little dongle and good value . Get an external antenna as high as you can, some decent lowloss coax (LBC240 or messi and paoloni ultraflex 7/10) and don't forget good sma /n connector too.
This dongle will surprise you it has a built in filter which really makes a difference in comparison to a normal barebones sdr .
Check out and search for the amazing weidehopf he is a wizard on the flightaware forums with the scripts and knowledge and has some.decent heatmaps and.range/performance charts you can add to your GUI.to maximise user experience and dongles functionality'”
“Plugged it into my RPI, connected antenna, installed PiAware and everything just worked. Antenna is indoor so need to play with position to get the best signal but overall very happy.”
