Review on ADSBexchange.com 5.5dBi N-Type Female Antenna (1090/978 MHz) - 24-inch: Boost Your ADS-B Reception! by David Thomley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent antenna for receiving ADS-B

Tried several different antennas including several homemade antennas and two ordered from AliExpress. This one beats them all in number of aircraft tracked and range. Tracks 300,000+ locations over the last 24 hours, including 2,500 over 250 miles away. From the north, I'm somewhat blocked by the North Georgia mountains, but it helps that it's at 1,300 feet and about 45 miles north of Atlanta's busy Hartsfield Airport. This antenna is installed in my attic. I'm using a TV preamp and a FlightAware Pro Stick+ with an optional external FlightAware filter to drown out a commercial FM station about 2 miles away. I'm usually among the top 50 feeders around the world. I highly recommend this antenna. Funny times!

I didn't try very hard and even that is working well
