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

Purchased and installed a dedicated antenna, ran cable and the dongle died. Check the online version, if there is local coverage, save your money.

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

Having also used the FlightAware USB stick with a Raspberry Pi, I was looking forward to trying out the new USB dongle from RadarBox. I was surprised to see that it was the exact same one as the FlightAware stick, but thats a good thing. I was more afraid of the setup process. Im a fairly technical person (My day job is playing IT Director for a Hospitality company), but I had some issues with the FA stick and an RPi. With the free software that RadarBox provides from their website, it was a 3 minute process to get everything up and running! Im curious to see if this will work with the FA software on my RPi as well, because if it does, then this would be a great, cheaper alternative to that for the same data.

This receiver significantly improved performance over the generic RTL-SDR.

this thing is totally deaf compared to an regular rtl-sdr

quality meets expectations

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

It does work. It’s better than the cheap Chinese ones with no amp. This is no where near the performance of the flightaware pro plus for the same money

Compared to a Flightaware pro blue stick with LNA and filter this cheaper alternative works the same. I get the same amount of aircraft with both, which is a drastic improvement over using a non purpose built RTL receiver.

Used or ADS-B , not easy to get running
