Announcing the Pro Stick Plus!

Twice as expensive as I bought it in December 2016 at Amazon Germany with Prime (free shipping). I live in the southwest of Germany and started tracking in 2/2015 with a “normal” DVB-T (RTL2832U + R820T) stick and the stock antenna. In summer 2015 I switched to a DIY 8 element CoCo antenna which increased the number of positions and flights - up to 120 planes in dump1090.

My conclusion: If someone is interested what’s going on around 150-200 km a good antenna and a cheaper stick is enough. If you want more range and a higher position in the FA statistiscs then think about a Pro Stick or Pro Stick Plus.

and badshortie’s statistics now - badshortie ADS-B Feeder Statistics - FlightAware

IMHO own device with PiAware and Dump1090 mutability 1.14 (ie without dump1090-fa ) is better solution
