“Great value. I've installed mine on the corner of my shed connected to a Raspberry Pi in mid Surrey. I regularly get over 120 aircraft at a time, some as far as 150-200miles away. At the price, recommended.”
“The antenna is great for the application I am using it for. It is part of my FlightRadar24 tracker system and can pick up aircraft more than 200 miles away. It is performing better than I expected. It was really easy to install onto an existing pole on my roof and connect to my ADS-B and Raspberry Pi using the cable I bought at the same time. I recommend this antenna to anyone who is building a flight-tracking receiver.”
“I’ll try again because previous review was not published. You can see it is a quality piece of kit the second you take it out of the box. Up the antenna analyser it goes and you can see straight away how well tuned it is. Getting about 130 nmi range atm but need to raise the height. Use of good quality coax such as LMR-240 is a must. Unless it’s a short piece under 1m, don’t you buy the cheap RG-58 patches because you will lose serious dB’s and you will get very little joy.”
“This antenna arrives super quickly as is the norm for The Pi Hut.
The build quality is great, solid and well constructed.
The reception is exceptionally good and even better when moved from an upstairs room to the loft, aircraft data being received from over 200 miles away, I hope to get it into the open sometime soon!
A great item and great service, many thanks Pi Hut!”
