> 24 hourDont expect any instructions on how to use this thing. The AirNav platform is no good, and costly. The free data uploader account is not free. I use with the Avare app.

> 24 hourIf you have a windows PC, you can be watching REAL TIME flight data with this little dongle, a small antenna, and a few minutes of your time. Ever wondered what airplane that is that’s flying over your house? Well, now you can find out - AND track it’s flight as long as it’s within range of the antenna.

> 24 hourIm pretty shocked. I get about the same performance as the FlightAware sticks and this thing is half the price. My range went from about 90 NM to 130 NM. A nice boost! If youre setting up an ADSB receiver or want to pep yours up I think this is a worthy purchase. I updated my review to add a picture of graphs from the last three months to show how much better the stick is compared to an SDR dongle.

> 24 hourGood stick, but not really much different than any others. Ive not done testing, but as its been said, an external filter I think does more than the internal filter builtin to this one. Ive a decent antenna, but an antenna makes all the difference also with this. For overall comparison, Ive a nooelec v1 stick, and it does a little better with its included antenna than this.

> 24 hourI plugged this into a machine I hadnt been using for this purpose before. Within 5 minutes I had installed and was running dump1090 and with the web interface was able to see planes in real time. i didnt have an antenna (yet) so I just shoved a paperclip into the antenna port (i do not recommend this!) and was seeing weak-ish signals. Later on with a proper antenna, coverage expanded nicely. What a fun, and cheap way to get introduced to ADS-B tracking. It was cheaper than my last order of K-cups!
