Terrible Weather Receiver for Aviation

My analysis of this product showed that it had poor connectivity and frequent signal drops, which led to an unreliable source of information. Although it is compact and easy to install, it often fails to deliver accurate weather and traffic reports, which is particularly concerning in aviation. The only positive aspect of this product is its affordable price, but it's simply not worth the risk it poses to its users.

Pros
  • Real-time aviation weather and traffic data
Cons
  • Requires some technical expertise to set up and use

ADS-B on a chartered aircraft. Priceless. Less than $250 ready to go.

Everything works very well. The only thing is that AHRS doesn't work in FF or FlyQ. FF gets more and more nervous (basic+) and FlyQ blocks the app and has to be closed and reopened. Their website says so too. So I would like to have it without the ahrs chip. Cheaper and unnecessary. In any case, ad-b is the main reason for getting it. That's why it gets 5 stars. Ads-b for rental plans that don't have it. OK, I'll do it now! Thank you CDD! Yes, and IFLY GPS works with the watch on the ground…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not bad but...

But I called the number on the instructions to see if I could get help. Straight to voicemail. As I was preparing to review Revain's return policy, I received a…
