I am looking to improving my distance. Currently I have the small amazon antenna that I purchased when I got my new pi. What I would like to do is to be able to get an antenna that I could mount outside and get greater distance. Any suggestions?

You can always buy the FlightAware antenna. It gives great results.  
Have a look at **[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/1090MHz-ADS-B-Antenna-66cm-26in/dp/B00WZL6WPO)**

(1) I use Flightaware’s “1090MHz ADS-B Antenna - 66cm / 26in”, purchased from Amazon, and am very satisfied with it. Good performance for a very reasonable price.

(2) The Maximum Range depends on antenna location. Check maximum possible range at your location using method given in **first post** of this thread:
