Review: Lessons Learned - I haven't read through all the previous reviews, but I'll throw out what I've learned. This "will" work on Window's 10. You just have to disable driver certificates to install the driver for this receiver. When plugged in, it showed up as a Comm Port device and not under "other" in Device Manager. When it has been discovered, it just takes double clicking on it to get the pop-up window. Under the driver tab, is update driver. From there, just find where you stored the downloaded driver (it's on the supplied disc if you didn't download it). Now to the teeth gnashing stuff.... Once the dongle has been recognized by the computer, you must use the supplied program adsbScope. The biggie here is to select the proper port and speed to connect to. That should at least get you up and looking at aircraft. I wanted to use this as a feed to Flightradar24. I downloaded their program and I "thought" everything was fine. It wasn't. No feed to FR24. I also downloaded a program called Virtual Radar Server. No aircraft on that either. The provided program adsbScope has a data server built in. You have to activate that and set it up to talk to either FR24 or Virtual Radar. It took several tries with different settings to find a match that all three programs liked, but once FR24 and VRS could "see" the output data from adsbScope...... everything started working. I can see aircraft on VRS and (from the best I can tell) data is being fed to FR24. I'm actually still waiting on FR24 as there system shows me offline, but from my end.... everything is there. One issue could be the supplied antenna. I'm less than 10 miles off the approach end of three major runways at IAH. If you look at FR24, there's 30+ aircraft around, but I'm only picking up 6 or so. I waiting on a roof mount antenna to run to the dongle. Hopefully with a proper antenna, I'll receive them all. I plan on doing some screen shots and doing up a web page on this. I received a couple of replies from the manufacturer, but they didn't help my plight. I wrote FR24 several times..... absolutely nothing from them (somewhat disappointed as it is "us" that makes their system work). Anyway.... I'll update this with a link after I throw a page together. ## Features - The GNS 5890 is equipped with a high sensitive ADS-B receiver. - The enclosed application shows all ADS-B equipped airplanes within 300km radius. - works on ADS-B 1090 MHz ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006VI3WAK | | Audio Output Type | USB | | Brand | Gns | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Other USB Devices | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | App | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (12) | | Manufacturer | GNS GmbH | | Mfr Part Number | 5890-ADS-B | | Model Number | 5890 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Portable | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 2.0 | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Type:** USB - **Brand:** Gns - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Other USB Devices - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Connector Type:** USB - **Control Method:** App - **Manufacturer:** GNS GmbH - **Special Feature:** Portable - **Surround Sound Channel Configuration:** 2.0 ## Images ![GNS 5890 ADS-B Receiver USB-Stick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31G7oMaw0gL.jpg) ![GNS 5890 ADS-B Receiver USB-Stick - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412i0AuHqgL.jpg) ![GNS 5890 ADS-B Receiver USB-Stick - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TsydshpnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for amateur planespotters! *by M***R on March 9, 2014* The software installed easily and it was up and running in five minutes.
