“The difference with this antenna to the small indoor mag mount is night and day. I was picking up max range of 100 miles with that. With the 60cm ion a pole in the garden my range is now +250 miles. I’m in north wales and no pick up aircraft over Scotland, the Irish Sea, the South coast and over the east coast. I regularly pick up over 2000 individual aircraft in a 24 hour period. My next move is to get the antenna mounted on the roof of the house for increased coverage. For the price, the quality of the 60cm is exceptional. I highly recommend this as an upgrade to an ADSB tracking system.
I also commend the Pi Hut for their fast dispatch, great communication and excellent pricing.”
“Great looking antenna; think it will last on my roof. My only comment is if you want to cover the connector with tape or something to add a bit of extra protection to the cable connection then the supplied base plate gets in the way a little. I would recommend that you remove it to add the tape and reassemble. Not recommended when you are up on the roof though if you can avoid it as dropped nuts tend to bounce down the roof picking up speed never to be seen again!”
“This is a neatly built, high-quality antenna with outstanding ADS-B signal reception. I'm genuinely impressed by the build quality and the effectiveness of its reception.In my opinion, the price-to-quality ratio is excellent.”
“I built a ground plane ariel, cost me less than £3 I was getting a range of 125 miles from that, thinking buying one would greatly improve range, I was wrong, an extra 15 miles, more than disapointed mounted in the same place too.”
“Excellent antenna at a decent price, the ones on Amazon were more, nice bracket and U-bolts for installation to an extender pole. I installed mine onto an aluminium pole I had spare in the shed then onto a bespoke bracket that fixed to the chimney(see photo)overall very pleased with the purchase.”
“Without doubt the best performing 1090 MHz antenna for ADS-B I have ever used having tried many others before. So good I now have two of them. Highly recommended and good value. Works great indoors or outdoors.”
