5.5dBi 1090/978 N-Type Female Antenna - 26-inch

As soon as I plugged this in I started picking up between two and times the messages/planes on my ADS-B receiver compared to the previous small antenna that came it. Very impressive! While I'm using this in my attic, the quality of this is great and it's clearly been designed for outdoor use in harsh environments. Great antenna for a great price!

I'm getting 116 miles range with this antenna in the attic. Haven't tested outside. I'm using a raspberry pi zero w with flight radar 24 adsb receiver. Very happy with my purchase.

I was using a $300 discone antenna, switched to this antenna … WOW! Look at the graph, that says it all. Same hight, same pole. Was easy to mount came with all good quality hardware.Next, mounting on my 30 foot tower.

Picking up planes from 45 nm away, with the antenna indoors in a closet. Swr 1.25 at 978 and 1.54 at 1090 is what my nanovna said, but I'm an absolute novice so take those numbers with a grain of sodium chloride. I'm pleased with it. It is connected to a splitter and two separate SDR radios for receiving both bands at once. I didn't know you could do that, but apparently it works fine. I went with the Nooelec Dual-Band NESDR Nano 3 kit and a mini pc instead of a pi. Search for adsb.im feeder image if you want to feed any/all sites of your choice and not spend your whole afternoon messing with a pi.

This antenna rocks! It almost doubled my reception. I use them for 1090/978 mhz reception. I have purchased 5 of them so far and if I add another adsb site, I will purchase more. I have them mounted inside and outside. It hasnt see winter yet but, I will post an update if need be.

This antenna has a great performance to price ratio. I can easily get up to 200nm of range in almost every direction while also getting low elevation TIS-B messages. Combined with the 1090/978 Stratux splitter this single antenna is capable of feeding two separate SDRs for both ADS-B and UAT signals. The attached graphs say it all.

Using it for a crypto project and this is such a great intro antenna. I had no previous experience with setting up a flight radar system using ADSB frequencies and this device went above and beyond. Setup super simple as well as mounting. Easily hits 200 nMi range above my roof line. Highly recommended.

Worked well outdoors or in attic. Outdoors the plated coating corroded to rust in about 2 years. Might paint the replacement to see if it helps.
