Review on πŸ“» NooElec High Gain ADS-B Radio and Antenna Bundle - Dual-Band NESDR Nano 2 (978MHz & 1090MHz), Starter Edition for Stratux, Avare, Foreflight, and FlightAware by Mike Calderon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

StratuX SDR Kit

I used two SDRs to build Stratux. To install two units side by side you must remove the plastic covers. Easy enough to pry with a sharp blade. Remember to mark each block 1090 or 978. Each block is wrapped with a layer of Kapton (polyamide) tape for electrical insulation and heat dissipation. These devices must draw the maximum current allowed by the USB 2.0 port and then some. Would have given 5 stars if the devices hadn't gotten so damn hot. Luckily, the case I'm using has a small fan for the USB accessory, which at least keeps the end connectors touchable. The cable assemblies are sized to fit inside the case and attach to the antennas. Most importantly, I get good 5nm sensitivity from the MCC. It was not possible to test in the air.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Infinitely Slow
