Review on πŸ“‘ NooElec ADS-B Discovery 5dBi Antenna Bundle - High Gain 1090MHz & 978MHz, SMA and MCX-Connected SDRs by Walter Day

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I think they're ok but LOL in "High Gain "

Frustrating when connecting to a normal dump1090 instance. They worked well for Stratux. But their marketing claims of "high utility" are dubious. I have **much** more contacts with a simple 69mm quarter-wave pin on a small magnetic mount that sits on top of a piece of metal that serves as a ground plane. Save money. If you have an extra antenna/mount from a cheap Freeview adapter, cut the standard antenna down to 69mm and attach this magnetic mount to a coffee can lid (or metal at least 69mm radius from the antenna).
