For the money this little antenna performs outstanding!
Looks well made and should last forever once inside a pvc pipe enclosure. Matches performance of a much more expensive fiberglass antenna on amazon.
Perfect for ads-b. Went from 3 to 4 ads-b feeds to 30+ using this antenna. Used this on a raspberry pi adb-s receiver. Works great with all my fr24, fa, rb, opensky and adsb exchange uploads.
Very versatile and picks up signals from a very long distance. Significantly increased my adsb detection range up to 250-300 km.
See screenshots for range comparison. Teal outline is the max range in that azimuth. I've never seen more than 20 craft at once, i plug this in and i could suddenly see 35 aircraft - just amazing!
Same location, same receiver, all the same except for the antenna. There is no way to connect it directly to an rtl-sdr device as this has the wrong * connector.
Reception is excellent. The placement is critical for best reception. I have noticed since tv broadcasting went digital, weather has a big influence on reception.
Service is outstanding and polite. Great customer support and ethics. Good value, decent price. Happy customer here.
Buyer beware of what amazon is peddling. Very cheaply made. Can't trust them in bad weather.
