Review: Significant improvement over the indoor antenna - Ok, lets give this antenna a fair comparison. The kit I'm using is a Raspberry Pi4, running Bookworm and PiAware 10.1, both supported by FlightAware - no need to be a Linux geek here. Receiver is the FlightAware Plus (which has the filter in it), and the existing antenna is the YILIANDUO 5DBi 1090MHz Antenna SMA Male Plug Indoor ADS-B Aerial with Magnetic Base RG174, which is sitting on a first-floor window sill, facing East. Living in Kettering as I do, almost all the ADS signals I've been receiving to date have been within a 50-mile radius of me. I put this antenna (vertically) alongside the existing one and changed over the connectors. Within a few minutes, I was picking up signals from 60-70 miles away, and this now seems to have settled down to some 85% within the 100-mile radius, however, the remaining 15% fall within the 100-150 mile range, meaning I now cover most of England and Wales - I do regularly see signals from aircraft North of Anglesea, and track others right out into the North Sea. At this stage, the antenna is still only on the window sill All in all, definately a worthwhile investment. EDIT: Taken an alternative fixing method for the time being - I've used 4 aquarium heater suckers, with ty-wraps to secure the antenna to the outside of the window - I do very occasionaly recieve signals from the 200-250Nm range - looking forward to getting it mounted on the tv mast above the ridge line. Review: Solid upgrade. - Very nice antenna. I use this for Flightradar24 via a Raspberry Pi. Very easy to install, standard antenna mount. Used an adaptor I already had to mount vertically on the top of a window turret (about 25 feet up or so). I get lots of hits as I live just east of the Stansted CTR so get all the departures at around 3000 ft or so. Also get lots orbx hits from transatlantic traffic from Europe heading westbound. Furthest hit was 390 NM, an A320 at Manchester. Overall a solid piece of kit that works a lot better than the cantenna I was using before. ## Features - High performance ADS-B 1090 MHz Vertical Antenna with SMA connector. - Gain 7dBi, Impedance 50Ω±5Ξ©, Vertical Polarization - 66 cm / 26 inch Vertical Antenna. 20 mm diameter / width. - Built with fiberglass & aluminum alloy for both indoor/outdoor use. - Mounting bracket and 30 feet co-axial cable included. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07K7YW1XJ | | Antenna | ['Aircraft Surveillance', 'ADS-B'] | | AntennaDescription | ['Aircraft Surveillance', 'ADS-B'] | | Best Sellers Rank | 21,255 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 44 in Radio Antennas | | Brand | RadarBox | | Brand Name | RadarBox | | Colour | Green | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 263 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Impedance | 50 Ohms | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 66L x 66H centimetres | | Item Weight | 200 Grams | | Manufacturer | AirNav Systems | | Manufacturer Part Number | ANTADSBEXTSMA | | Maximum Range | 185.2 Kilometres | | Maximum range | 185.2 Kilometres | | Model Number | ANTADSBEXTSMA | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of channels | 1 | | Product Warranty | 1 Year | | UPC | 895758001122 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** High-performance, omni-directional ADS-B 1090 MHz antenna for long & short-range reception, compatible with ADS-B receivers and built with fiberglass & aluminum alloy for indoor/outdoor use. - **Brand:** RadarBox - **Colour:** Green - **Number of channels:** 1 - **Impedance:** 50 Ohm - **Maximum range:** 185.2 Kilometres - **Product dimensions:** 66L x 66H centimetres - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 2 Years - **UPC:** 895758001122 - **Manufacturer:** AirNav Systems ## Images ![AirNav ADS-B 1090 MHz Outdoor antenna with SMA connector - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41vsb2klZgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the cable that it comes with removable and if so what kind of connection does the actual antenna have?** A: Thanks for your question. It is not removable and we did that on purpose to make it more resistant. **Q: Is this as good as the flight aware antenna? Any differences?** A: Okay, this may not be of much help, but currently we use the AirNav RadarBox flight stick with an indoor antennae (a really cheap one) which is excellent when we are away. We use the outdoor one when we are at home and it picks up practically everything within 200 miles plus. I have no idea about the Flight Aware, but the AirNav suits us fine. I hope that helps... **Q: I’m currently using this antenna at 1090, how does it perform at 978Mhz?** A: There's a different antenna for that purpose. **Q: Is it possible/reasonable to diplex (use 2 antennas with combiner) to avoid tower shadow? Would losses outweigh benefit?** A: Yes you can combine two of them and the losses would not outweigh the benefit. They need to be in exact phase or you will introduce additional directivity in the pattern. IIRC you will want to use two equal length cables of 75 ohm into a combiner with a 50ohm feedline to your receiver. That will co-phase them. Worth reading about beamforming, phasing, and combining. The ARRL antenna handbook has a good write up. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Significant improvement over the indoor antenna *by J***S on 1 June 2025* Ok, lets give this antenna a fair comparison.

Improved the range immensely, unfortunately I have a line of trees behind my house to the south so no matter how I install the antenna unless its on a 100ft pole I'm not going to get much in a southerly direction. However it did improve the other areas from around 45nm to around 170nm from where I am. It could be that its mounted outside as opposed to indoor where I had it before but still it works well. Picks up all ADS-B, but until the little green men catch on and fit an ADS-B Transponder in the flying saucers, sadly I will not pick them up yet... ## Frequently Bought Together - AirNav Radar ADS-B 1090 MHz Outdoor Antenna with SMA Connector - AirNav Radar UAT 978 MHz Outdoor Antenna with SMA Connector - Nooelec SAWbird+ ADS-B: Premium, Dual-Channel, Cascaded Ultra-Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) & Filter Module for Airplane Tracking Applications. 1090MHz (ADSB) and 978MHz (UAT) Center Frequencies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/122150847-airnav-ads-b-1090-mhz-outdoor-antenna-with-sma-connector](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/122150847-airnav-ads-b-1090-mhz-outdoor-antenna-with-sma-connector) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
