Today I have placed a NoElec SmartSDR + Flightaware external Filter. Results were instant, and all is well. I’ll make some scans again and let you know.
Congratulations!
Now try Pro Stick Plus + Flightaware External Filter.
the wifi dongle in the second pi was meant to test exactly that behavior - normally both pi are connected via ethernet to an airport-express. no - zero bad influence from the wifi dongle to the generic sdr dongle - same with two pi zero w - i never found the smallest downside at my site when using wifi very near to the sdr-dongle …
I guess it could depend on the specific dongle and frequency in use – I was connected over 2.4 GHz. Anyway, I got about 20% more messages after using the short extension cable.

probably …
So @skinkie what was the outcome of all this testing? Did you shield the pi and dongles ? Did you also retry the Pro Stick Plus + Flightaware External Filter?
I live outside the US, would be good if FA could develop a filter for areas with high 900-980 frequency noise.
@TomMuc i noticed that your suggestions always had a FA Antenna,
fa-antenna + blue dongle + fa-filter -> 80$
fa-antenna + generic dongle + uputronics saw/lna -> 95$
fa-antenna + generic dongle + jetvision 3-pole/cavity filter + lna4all -> 170$
have you used the Pro + with different antennas? ie Spider
