#FLIGHTAWARE PROSTICK PLANEPLOTTER MODE S PRO#
The Pro Stick has an SMA connector for use with most ADS-B antennae. Claimed to be the first of its kind, offering significant range improvement over traditional USB SDR receivers and less expensive at US 16.95. Filtering benefits may vary and are dependent on the installation location. A few days ago, FlightAware announced its new Pro Stick, a low cost DVB-T SDR receiver with built-in amplifier. Data output encoded by Beast Binary or AVR Coding, compatible to Planeplotter, including. The RTL-SDR can be used to listen to these ADS-B signals, which can then be used to create your very own home aircraft radar system. Modern planes use something called an ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) Mode-S transponder, which periodically broadcasts location and altitude information to air traffic controllers. Mode-S and Mode A/C decoding with TCP server. The RTL-SDR can be used as a super cheap real time air radar. Supported dongles: RTL2832U interface+tuners: E4000, R820T (latter preferred) Designed for Windows (any version). Filtering is generally not recommended for users in rural environments. Group Description RTL1090 is a DVB-T dongle to Mode-S converter app. Increases range 10-20% over Pro Stick when filtering is beneficialĪ 1090 MHz bandpass filter (whether built-in or a separate external part) is generally recommended for users in urban environments or with known high power radio transmitters nearby such as cell phone towers.
