Software Defined Radio USB dongle designed to be used with a Raspberry Pi and an antenna to create an ADS-B receiver that will allow you to track aircraft up to 250NM away. Using FlightAware’s open-source software you can receive data from 1090 MHz equipped aircraft and have it displayed in a web-based radar-like interface. This SDR is similar to our Pro Stick product, but includes a 1090 MHz filter to make it ideal for tracking commercial aircraft.
- Builds on the popular Pro Stick by adding a built-in 1090 MHz bandpass filter
- Increases range 10-20% over a Pro Stick in environments where filtering is beneficial
- More than 30% less expensive than buying a Pro Stick v1.1 and an external filter

Great product! Thank you
I was using a different and very capable SDR to track aircraft. It appeared respectable but its reach appeared to be limited. When I changed to the Pro Stick Plus the area reach literally doubled in size. In a few locations more than doubled. In a location where I am surrounded by trees I can now see the whole State and more. I expect it to improve as the leaves start to fall. I was able to view aircraft as low as 6000 ft at an airport around 30 miles from me with the original SDR. Now I see them as low as 400 ft. The change to this SDR was massive and beyond my expectations. I easily reach 100 NMI in alll directions with an exception in one area. I have seen it reach 150 NMI at a few points.
My previous USB ADS-B stick failed as a result of a thunderstorm/lightning and power outage. I purchased the FA USB Stick + to replace it. It's operation is heads and shoulders above the performance of my previous usb stick. Before, the furtherest aircraft I could detect was around 150 NM. Now I am seeing consistently aircraft over 200 NM. Inaddition, the most aircraft I could detect was usually around 50. Now I consistantly can track over 130 aircraft at once...the most I have seen so far has been 155. The new ProStick is definietly a superiour device from 2 other sticks I have previously used. The preamp and bandpass filter have provideed a much better receiver.
Works fantastic
Works out of the box. So far, it has delivered above expection.
