Not the best antenna in AV accessories

I tested these on my NanoVNA and they are clearly shaped like an antenna. They do not resonate near the specified frequencies.

Pros
  • COMPACT: just over 4 inches long for a snug fit in the cockpit
Cons
  • Style 90

Excellent performance

I have been flying Stratux since it was first released in 2015. As improvements have been made I have updated the cases, antennas and SDRs not only for performance but also to support the project. I recently replaced longer high gain antennas with this small antenna kit and wanted to report that they work perfectly. I did not notice any change in the amount of data received when I flew to FL075. And also . They make it easier to transport the entire unit when you take the Stratux off the plane…

Pros
  • STRATUX ANTENNA REPLACEMENT: Kit includes SMA 1090MHz antenna, SMA 978MHz antenna, both marked
Cons
  • Some issues

Barely works with FIS-B or TIS-B

With both small antennas pointed vertically on Cessna 152 dashboard up to 5000 feet I don't have FIS-B Data, there is no weather at all, although I had a line of sight of the terrain except for three towers. With standard antennas I could sometimes even receive FIS-B on the ground! I was able to receive TIS-B data but it was fuzzy. Targets appeared and disappeared, and compared to the Garmin 650, there was significantly more traffic on the panel than I saw through the Stratux. I've since taken…

Pros
  • COMPATIBILITY: Fits any SDR with SMA or MCX input connector
Cons
  • Neutral

I really liked it so far.

I love that they fit right into my Stratux aircraft position receiver. Being shorter than the original, they were much easier to install on my plane. In fact, I rarely even had to take these antennas off because they fit together so well. but shortly after I started using them, maybe 2 weeks later, the plastic cap covering the metal threads broke. and he split the whole length of the cap. I have never overtightened these plastic caps. Rather, I was careful when tightening as the Stratux…

Pros
  • PORTABLE: Antennas have a foldable swivel for multiple mounting options
Cons
  • Volume
