I purchased this antenna to go with the RadarBox receiver. This antenna plugged into the receiver and within seconds my Radar Pi started tracking Aircraft in my area. I have my Antenna in ann office window on the ground floor with next to no mountains or valley to interfere with the radio signals. The higher you are able to mount this antenna the greater coverage you will receive.This antenna works great for my application as a plug and play setup allowing my Radar Pi to show aircraft without needing to solder my own components. Comparing my Radar Pi aircraft signatures using this antenna to any online Radar tracking website, Im getting the same Aircraft Data within roughly 150km radius of my location. Keep in mind with an radio frequency this is subjective to interference and ground obstructions, if you live in a Valley or mountainous region you may have limited range.

標準で付属するアンテナのほうが受信性能が良かった。

Despite nominal performance of this antenna is shown as "6dBi", actual performance of this definitely less than the "NooElec ADS-B Discovery 5dBi", .Since my coverage area was shurinked under 1/2 from NooElec's, I have ceased using this.

My home made antenna, which cost 1/10 of this thing, since I cannot call it antenna, gets few times more data.

This antenna is actually rated for other frequencies though it's sold for 978MHz. It performs very poorly when trying to pick up aircraft on UAT. At best I've seen air traffic within 20 miles, rarely does it get more than a few packets.Not worth the money.

The antenna reception is good but the magnet is too week for a mobile application. At first I was happy with the antenna driving around town but as soon as I was on the highway (70 MPH) it flew off of my roof. I have another magnetic antenna on my truck for AIS data and the only thing that has nocked it off was tree limbs.

Very thin Cable and poor signal for the size.

I purchased this to gain range on ADS B over a simple extending antenna that came with a portable FM receiver. I had ranges of up to 120 miles with it used indoors. I connected this antenna and my max range was 44 miles. I then used a VNA to sweep the antenna and found resonances at 149 MHz and 450 MHz region. There was none in the 1.09 GigHZ area. I then found the exact same antenna with a different connector, by the same manufacture, touted for the police band. Whie this may work for those bands it is useless on ADS B. I will be returning it! I gave it a 1 because even in China putting a different label on the package does not change the antennas characteristics.

The product arrived intact. However the quality leaves much to be desired. I constructed an extremely crude dipole antenna from a scrap piece of speaker wire jammed into the port of my sdr and the secon wire taoed to the outside of the connecter ad ground and it gets a cleaner signal... save your money!I would say it could work in a pinch. But speaker wire + sma connecter etc is extremely cheap in comparison. And customizable to your needs.

At it current length the max range topped off at 40 miles. When cutting the antenna at 69mm, which is 1/4 of the wave length my range more than tripled to 135 mile range. I use it strictly for ADS-B aircraft traffic only.
