“This is a beast. I ended up spending an extra SDR Pro stick plus (previously had generic USB SDR) and the stats are "wow" - metrics have increased 2-5x.”
“Installed inside the attic of my bungalow, about 5m agl, and hearing ADSB and Mode S transponders up to 300 miles away, with a FlightAwarePlus dongle, and 1m of RG142 coax.”
“I am very pleased with the performance of this antenna. It's a huge upgrade from the little mag-mount antennas that often come with RTL-SDR kits - I went from around 100 messages per second to 500-600 or so, at the same time of day.
The mount and fixing are good quality, too, and it's held firmly in place. You can mount the plate directly to a surface (e.g. a beam in a roof), but really it's designed for pole mounting.
With a larger antenna, it's usually a good idea to fit a 1090MHz filter as well, since it'll be picking up more noise than a smaller one.”
