Enhanced Aviation Connectivity: Stratux 1090ES & UAT Radio Review

They have worked great in my Stratux for several years. They heat up terribly. It was only a matter of time before they burned out. They are so small that radiators cannot be attached to them. The new version of the Stratux software periodically turns on the fans, preventing radios from cooling properly in a closed or vented case. I'm ordering another set but they burn out over time.

Received with Dmurray14 antenna kit. Installed in a transparent case with a fan. Instant intercourse on both right in my living room. I was arguing about buying a Narco 2 Mini Plus but for the price I was happy that these two tuned/tagged/tested cost a little more than Narco's price. The advantage is that everything fits in the case (except for the antennas).

So far, so good. I've only had them on the ship a couple of times but they worked flawlessly and because they fit in your case they don't interfere with cables and are easier to charge without a power outage thanks to the use of a USB extender.

This is a USB radio for Statux which is a home made ADB-S solution. They work well, but they heat up quickly and there really isn't a good way to get heat away from them.

Much better than the old USB stick style SDRs. I wish they were there before the old style was created, glad I switched to Nano Tuned. Matches well with DMURRAY14 kit.

These SDRs (Software Defined Radios) are pre-configured for Stratux and with their specific frequency Marked 978MHz UAT or 1090MHz Air-to-Air This is required when using high gain antennas such as those sold by dmurray (OS).
