USB SDR

devices

• used for FLARM (make sure you get a bias-T version as its more convenient for mast-head LNA)

• Flightaware pro-stick plus works well

• Flight aware prostick https://flightaware.com/adsb/prostick/

• HF SDR

• Warning about purchase of RTL-SDR https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/

Due to the variation in software requirements for the bias-T I bought an older version as well as V4. V4 software will eventually promulgate into the Linux implementations.
