AirNav RadarBox FlightStick - ADS-B USB Receiver with Integrated Filter, Amplifier and ESD Protection

Should provide a similar result as the flightaware product. Its smaller and has less plastic in case. Use flexible cables on both ends to avoid breaking off connectors.

Used or ADS-B , not easy to get running

No instructions included. Site for installation software doesnt exist. Tech support gave links but not how to install. Computer doesnt seem to recognize the USB device. 100% NOT plug and play.

Bought this to free up my existing RTL-SDR dongle for a new project, and bought the radarbox stick as a replacement to install in my dedicated ADSB setup. I have a fairly good antenna, although I live in a valley and can only have the antenna mounted a few feet off the ground due to apartment restrictions. I did not expect such a dramatic improvement, but changing the SDR with nothing else in the setup brought my regular hits from average 500-800 aircraft seen to average of 900-1300 aircraft seen depending on the day. I have included screenshots comparing a saturday before and after to show the increase in volume. Range went from ~45 to ~65, although you cant expect much out of my current setup range wise. Installation was easy, just unplugged the RTL-SDR from my RPi running the FR24 image and plugged in the Radarbox dongle and restarted. Picked up immediately, no driver changes or anything required. Overall very impressed.

I wish I had known this before purchase. This receiver isnt compatible with Flight Radar 24. Bummer.

Ive been using AirNav RadarBox solutions for quit long time and there is a real issue that they need to work with. Driver issue :)

This dongle greatly increased my range over the regular rtl-sdr. Highly recommended.

Flight stick would not connect to the software. Several attempts to reinstall and format .Online support is lacking .
