Flightaware USB dongle too bulky blocking other USB ports

This is great news. :+1: :+1: :+1:

AirNav System / Radarbox24 has aready done it, but RB dongle runs much hotter than FA dongle. Most likely higher temp is caused by insufficient cooling surface due to small size.

I use all 3: ProStick, ProStickPlus and FlightStick. Due to Cell interference, both the Blue & Orange dongles require external filter, while RB’s FlightStick (green) does not require an external filter. The reason seems to be location of SAW chip.

ProStickPlus (blue): RF in → LNA → SAW → DVB-T
FlightStick (green): RF in → SAW → LNA → DVB-T
