FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

For those signed up to emails, you’ll have probably already seen this, but if not, Pro Stick Gen 2 is currently in beta testing.

"If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to give your PiAware installation a refresh, the time has come. The latest PiAware 11 SD card images are now available.

"The new images bring together the PiAware 11 software updates released a couple months ago (discussed in our June ADS-B newsletter) along with the newer Raspberry Pi OS Trixie. It also adds support for the Pro Stick Gen 2, our next-generation ADS-B SDR (software-defined radio) that is currently in beta testing and is not yet publicly available.

“Pro Stick Gen 2 uses a new SDR architecture as an alternative to the RTL-SDR design used by the current Pro Stick and is designed to deliver improved ADS-B reception and performance. We’ll have more information on it in future announcements as testing progresses.”

There wasn’t anything listed in the email for a price comparison.

@Obj has said the hardware is similar in spec to the Airspy Mini and because of that, the PSG2 will have similar pricing.

You can make it cheaper or you can make it better. - Pick one.

That’s my guess as well. I would say between US$80 and 100.

I think the LTC chip sets the price.
