Excellent SDR for ADSB
This is a well build SDR made for ADSB. Easily tripled the number of hits I'm getting vs. my original cheap SDR dongle and non ADSB general purpose antenna. I've bought 2 sets of this along with the AirNav Radar 1090 MHz Indoor Antenna and it's how I'm upgrading all of my receivers and building new ones.

Aprox. doubled aircraft seen on suboptimal setup with marginal increase in range
Bought this to free up my existing RTL-SDR dongle for a new project, and bought the radarbox stick as a replacement to install in my dedicated ADSB setup. I have a fairly good antenna, although I live in a valley and can only have the antenna mounted a few feet off the ground due to apartment restrictions. I did not expect such a dramatic improvement, but changing the SDR with nothing else in the setup brought my regular hits from average 500-800 aircraft seen to average of 900-1300 aircraft seen depending on the day. I have included screenshots comparing a saturday before and after to show the increase in volume. Range went from ~45 to ~65, although you can't expect much out of my current setup range wise. Installation was easy, just unplugged the RTL-SDR from my RPi running the FR24 image and plugged in the Radarbox dongle and restarted. Picked up immediately, no driver changes or anything required. Overall very impressed.

Good stick, but no different than most others.
Good stick, but not really much different than any others. Ive not done testing, but as its been said, an external filter I think does more than the internal filter builtin to this one. Ive a decent antenna, but an antenna makes all the difference also with this. For overall comparison, Ive a nooelec v1 stick, and it does a little better with its included antenna than this.

Worked right out of the box
I bought this to build my own ADS-B Flight Tracker using FlightAware. After installing the software on my Raspberry Pi 3B and attaching a separate antenna that I also purchased, this unit worked right out of the box and started picking up ADS-B traffic from various aircraft near me. I'll probably pick up a couple more for some other projects as well!

Just as good as FlightAware Pro Stick, but 1/2 the price!
I have been using the FlightAware Pro Stick on my two RPi ADS-B feeders for nearly two years with excellent results, but when I saw this for $10, I had to give it a try. First of all, it was a simple swap-out, nothing more needed on my existing setup. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the performance was as good as or even a bit better with the number of positions tracked. I'll be watching the data closely for the next few days, but the initial results were very promising, so much so that I ordered another for my second feeder. For $10 you can't go wrong!

didn't work, even on a brand new computer
I have been a radarbox customer before- I am on my 2nd Commstation- something happened to the first one and wouldn't work anymore, and since last year, I am having issues with the second, and I have gotten no where with support. I figured I would get this, to see how it worked. I first tried it on an old computer, and on the radarbox site it would show that it was working, but it wasn't picking anything up. The software would not pick up anything at all, and even wouldn't show that it was connected. On a brand new computer, the same issue has happened. Support has been nonexistent, both on the commstation and also on this flightstick.

It actually works.
I'm pretty shocked. I get about the same performance as the FlightAware sticks and this thing is half the price. My range went from about 90 NM to 130 NM. A nice boost! If you're setting up an ADSB receiver or want to pep yours up I think this is a worthy purchase. I updated my review to add a picture of graphs from the last three months to show how much better the stick is compared to an SDR dongle.

I bought this to use with a Raspberry Pi Zero W + cantenna for sharing data with FlightAware / RadarBox / Flightradar24. It works perfectly. Very occasionally I run into a problem where the Pi will stop receiving data due to it not being able to detect the stick, but I'm not sure if this is due to the FlightStick, the Pi itself or the USB adapter cable. It resolves itself after a reboot and I can go for months without having an issue so haven't felt a need to investigate too much further.

Work well with Raspberry Pi and Flightradar24.
