> 3 dayIt 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

> 3 dayI bought this stick to replace a RTL-SDR dongle. I thought that the built-in filter would yield better performance, but this was not the case. Using it with a Pi Zero W running PiAware, there was a huge decrease in the number of flights seen (from around 1800 per day to only 200 or so). Maybe I got a bad unit or something, since it also runs hot. The RTL-SDR also gets hot, but at least it has a metal case to act as a heatsink. You can see in the attached picture when I was using the AirNav FlightStick versus the RTL-SDR dongle, and its like night and day.

Greater than one weekShould 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.

> 3 dayIm 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.
