ADS-B Receiver as USB Dongle . The ideal starter device for ADS-B reception are our “Diamond Crown” or “RTL-SDR R820T2″ USB dongles.

Dongles only achieve a reduced range. For better reception we recommend our Air!Squitter.

Their integrated circuitry RTL2832 and R820T2 provides highest sensitivity together with optimum range for small ADS-B Receiver.

Our USB dongles (ADS-B receivers) can be operated together with Planeplotter or RTL1090 to receive ADS-B on 1090 MHz or even used as a universal SDR (software defined radio) in the frequency range of 24-1,700 MHz (frequency range not guaranteed).

We ship our dongles together with a small indoor antenna with MCX connector.
These ADS-B antenna is not suited for outdor use. For this purpose two different types of our high quality OPA-5 or Diapason antennas are available dependant on required cable length.

IMPORTANT: each of our usb dongles was tested individually for full functionality and proper reception quality on 1090 MHz and together with RTL1090 and Planeplotter. See also rtl1090.com.

For SDR applications with a requirement of high frequency accuracy and stability we offer our RTL-SDR (not necessary for ADS-B reception). This device has a guaranteed frequency accuracy of +-0.5 ppm.

Our dongles are sold and shipped without remote control and without software for the reception of DVB-T and FM signals.
