8dBi 978MHz-1090MHz Antenna

I would love to buy an affordable 978-1090 MHz antenna so I don’t have to have different types of antennas and be able to streamline of setting up more receiver stations that have dual receivers. ( I did mention this in a recent FlightAware survey that was conducted) I wish FlightAware would sell some more of the 8dBi 978MHz-1090MHz Antenna.

I’m been using a Antennacraft ST2 for my 978MHz (UAT) receiver and the Flightaware 1090MHz antenna for the 1090 MHz receiver connected to my Raspberry Pi 3 running adsbreceiver.net. I would love to replace the Antennacraft ST2 with a dedicated antenna that can do both 978MHz and 1090MHz in case I ever need to move/change antennas around.

I see a few aircraft flying around using UAT, but most are on 1090MHz ADS-B or haven’t upgraded yet.

After I have been recommended my father-in-law to do 1090MHz ADS-B Out transponder instead of using UAT Out after seeing majority of aircraft using 1090 over 978 plus 978 MHz is not used outside of the US. My father-in-law finally replaced his aircraft’s aging Mode-A/C transponder to the new Stratus ESG with new antennas on his 1957 Cessna 172. appareo.com/stratus-adsb-out/

He does have a dual ADS-B In and UAT In receiver on his plane

I put 1090 ADS-B out in my aircraft as well. 978 may turn out to be the betamax of Transponders…

That being said, I also would like to see the 8dbi dual band antenna come back. So far, it’s been the best performing antenna I’ve tested.

I saw a Lear 60(N24G) with UAT out today (Probably also had 1090, I didn’t check). I could see it from 140NM away.

I suspect that some safety conscious people will want both. The NEXRAD weather probably pays for itself in a few years.

So you will just need 1 usb connection for 978 and 1090?
