“Excellent piece of kit, it has extended the range of reception at my location on a less than ideal antenna. I can also now detect aircraft landing down to around twenty feet above the runway at Newcastle airport some seven miles away, much lower than before. Full coverage to 100 miles, 95% to 150 miles, 75% to 200 miles and some aircraft detected up to 250 miles, all on a WXsat turnstile antenna that resonates at 136.25MHz (x8=1090MHz)!”
“I bought this from pihut due to living in a built up area.
The results were astonishing in terms of position reports and message duration.
I would definitely recommend this preamp for 1090mhz.
Use tar1090 / graphs 1090 to measure the difference between preamp being on/off”
“This is an excellent.preamp for 1090MHz I would definitely recommend if usin a dongle such as a cheap sdr. Not so much the radars or the Flightaware sticks. I like the build quality on the preamp its robust and well made. I like it that much im going to buy a preamp for my AIS station too. ....why not. Pihut = Excellent seller Rapid delivery ...will definitely continue to use them
Highly recommended”
