Review on ๐Ÿ“ก Optimized ADS-B Bundle: Nooelec Dual-Band NESDR Nano 2 for Stratux, Avare, Foreflight, FlightAware & Other ADS-B Software Applications. Includes 2 SDRs, 4 Antennas & 5 Adapters by David Bar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beautifully packaged set but they work HOT!

Update 10/2020: Unit 978 is completely out of service so I can't rate the durability of these units highly. I downgraded the rating to 3 stars. What's good: The units are well packaged, including carefully labeled printed stickers, including a serial number for each recipient. This kit comes with a good combination of antennas and matching adapters. Cons: They get too hot. I use them on the Pi3B+ for dual band software; A few minutes later I got a CPU overheating warning. At first I thought it was Pi, which was also hot. But in the end it was residual heat from those devices plugged directly into the back panel. Solution: I bought two 6" USB extension cables to get some heat out of the poor Pi. They still get pretty hot but seem to help the Pi. Indifference: White status LED on each device. It's good to know they're getting power, but I'd rather not have them to reduce power consumption and potentially help them run cooler.

Pros
  • Durable livery
