Works well with FR24. Not overheating at all. Very good range. Highly recommended.

I purchased this after attending Defcon where the aviation village was selling badges that tracked planes via adsb. Turns out this kit and a pi and you can track quite a bit farther than the badges. Followed the setup guide from ads exchange and quickly got it setup and feeding multiple adsb sites. It was so fun I soon added another radio and a larger antenna. Very fun and great weekend project.

Using a Pi 4B 4gb and this is working great! Huge props to the devs on setting up this package, very impressed with the range even indoors this filter must work pretty great.For first-time users I would recommend upgrading the image to Raspian/Debian 12 [or current stable ver] and enabling web auth + set a password in the ADSB dashboard ...note this will also change your SSH password from the default, which you definitely want to do.

Works as advertised, and I've been using it as an ADSB receiver for my Raspberry Pi feeding into FR24.However, NOTE: It gets extremely warm. Like, very warm to the touch, and enough to impact your Pi's overall temperatures as well. My Pi 5 runs fine, but my Pi 3b+ requires external heatsinks when this is connected via USB.As others have done here, I bought 2x heatsinks and pasted them to both sides of the amp (see photo). At least this way, you're removing some of the heat away from the amp and your Pi. Still, my Pi gets much warmer with this antenna. I do with the amp itself had its own heat-dissipating ability, or even passive thermals (or even a fan!).

Incredibly easy setup with a Raspberry Pi 4b, installed the SD card into the Pi, screwed the antenna onto the USB receiver, plugged the receiver into the Pi, powered on the Pi, and followed the directions on the Setup card that came with the receiver. All in, 15 minutes. Incredible work by the ADSB Exchange crew. Thank you!

Awesome device. It pulls in signals from over 200 nautical miles from my location. I did add a larger antenna but the small antenna worked very well. It gets mildly warm during use but not enough to be a concern to me.

I'm running this in a window sill with the provided antenna and very happy with the performance. I'm running mine with the Flightradar24.com image and reporting to their service, and it fired up and worked with no special config needed and started uploading ADS-B spots.Like some others I noticed the case runs a little hot for my taste. When I had it plugged directly into the back of a Raspberry Pi 4 (which also runs fairly hot) it ran even warmer. To reduce the heat I strapped a couple scrap heatsinks and some heat sink compound onto the receiver, and separated the receiver from the Pi with a 3' long USB extension cable. That also made placing the receiver and antenna in the upper part of the window more convenient as well. I don't know that the heat hurts anything - but it makes me fell better.Overall, highly recommend this receiver. Works great.

The ADSBexchange.com Blue R820T2 RTL2832U receiver has significantly enhanced my aircraft tracking capabilities, outperforming the well-known FlightAware Pro Stick Plus in every aspect crucial for ADS-B enthusiasts. Here’s a detailed look at why the ADSBexchange receiver is a superior choice for anyone serious about ADS-B tracking.Superior Build Quality:The ADSBexchange.com Blue R820T2 RTL2832U is not just another ADS-B receiver. Encased in robust blue aluminum, it not only promises durability but also superior heat dissipation, which is crucial for long operational hours without the risk of overheating—a stark contrast to the plastic-bodied FlightAware Pro Stick Plus.The technical superiority of the ADSBexchange receiver is evident in its enhanced reception capabilities. With a 0.5 PPM TCXO, the precision in frequency stability is unparalleled, ensuring that even under significant temperature fluctuations, the accuracy remains consistent. This is a game-changer for capturing ADS-B signals under varied environmental conditions.Moreover, the integration of an amplifier and a 1090 MHz filter directly into the device means that it can more efficiently sift through RF noise to capture cleaner and more accurate signals. This capability is particularly useful in densely populated urban areas where signal interference is a common issue.Using the same antenna and cable setup, the ADSBexchange receiver consistently detects more aircraft over broader areas compared to the FlightAware Pro Stick Plus. This is not just about quantity; the quality of the data, including positional accuracy and message integrity, is markedly improved. More messages per second are processed even with automatic gain control (AGC) enabled allowing for seamless data collection without requiring constant manual tweaking. I also see improved distribution of aircraft both over my footprint, and in an enhanced spread of altitudes.For enthusiasts who demand the best in ADS-B reception, the decision is clear: the ADSBexchange.com Blue R820T2 RTL2832U is the superior choice, delivering unmatched performance that enhances the joy and effectiveness of aircraft tracking.I am not affiliated with ADS-B Exchange either directly or indirectly, nor was this review solicited or compensated.

Jeder, der mit Computern zu tun hat, weiß, wie umständlich viele Programme und Hardware oft zu installieren sind. Hier in diesem Fall war ich einfach nur begeistert, wie einfach und reibungslos das vorkonfigurierte System funktioniert! - Antenne anschrauben, microSD Karte in den RasPi stecken, Standort eingeben - fertig!Volle Punktzahl von mir!

Le récepteur fonctionne parfaitement avec une fiabilité qui n’est pas toujours présente chez d’autres fabricants. L’antenne est plutôt ordinaire, j’ai de meilleurs résultats avec un bout de câble en cuivre. Je n’ai pas utilisé la carte SD et le logiciel car j’ai déjà une configuration logiciel qui fonctionne très bien.

This SDR arrived quickly, and the included Micro-SD card with the boot image for my Raspberry Pi was perfect. In a matter of minutes I was up and running, and feeding ADSB data to the network.
