FlightAware Pro Stick, revolutionary USB ADS-B and MLAT receiver announced
FlightAware is announcing a revolution in the world of USB SDR ADS-B Receivers -- the FlightAware Pro Stick, a customized, high-performance USB R820T2 software defined radio (SDR) with a built-in RF amp for maximum ADS-B/MLAT performance. The FlightAware Pro Stick can receive ADS-B or Mode S (for MLAT) transmissions from up to 300 miles away and is an evolutionary leap in low-cost flight tracking hardware.

Just a two days after I received NooElec NESDR Mini 2. Well, perhaps I can use that for AIS.
I do ads-b on a PC. Can I just plug this pro stick to my PC and use my existing drivers and software or will I need to install other drivers and software on my PC to use this pro stick?
Yes if you have an existing SDR dongle, it should just swap in.
cool! Glad it's not proprietary drivers/software and will use my existing drivers/software and hopefully give me much better performance than my existing SDR dongle.
a question about the antenna connnection. The Pro Stick page here at flightaware says: - SMA F connector for easy connectivity to high-performance antenna
- No MCX adapters required
I see what appears to be a SMA connector (with threads) on the amazon listing but my current dongle uses MCX connectors to connect my antenna to the dongle. I don't see a MCX connector on the pro stick unless it is on the side of the dongle not visible in the amazon pictures. Will I need an sma/mcx adapter or a cable with SMA on one end and MCX on the other for hooking up my antenna?

Ordered it! Hoping for a nice range improvement. Post again Daniel when the antenna is available.
Just ordered 2. Amazon doesn't allow to get more. Will see if it works with my software.
