This high-quality receiver is built on the proven technology of the Mode-S Beast. But we've added a Beaglebone computer and GPS antenna making this the most advanced and best performing Mode-S receiver available to the public.

A first for portable ADS-B receivers, Sentry provides a built-in carbon monoxide sensor and alerting system, with an audio and in-app alert when CO concentration reaches hazardous levels. The LED indicator also provides a visual indication of CO levels.

• To build a PiAware, you must obtain the following components:Raspberry Pi 3 / 4 / Zero W

• Power supply for the Raspberry Pi

• 5.1 Volts 2.5 Amps power supply recommended

• Micro SD Card (size: 8 GB or larger)

• Micro SD card reader

• If your computer does not have a built-in SD card reader/writer, you will need the optional USB SD card reader/writer.

• USB SDR ADS-B Receiver (FlightAware Pro Stick or Pro Stick Plus recommended)

• The USB SDR (Software Defined Radio) ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) receiver translates the 1090 MHz radio signal into something the computer can understand

• Hint: If you are choosing between the FlightAware Pro Stick and the Pro Stick Plus remember the Plus has an on-board filter that works well in locations that have a lot of radio noise, such as urban environments.

• 1090 MHz Antenna

• An indoor antenna can be purchased to start. If using the FlightAware USB adapter be sure the antenna has an SMA connector.

• If you use a telescoping mast antenna be sure to collapse it to a quarter wavelength of 1090 MHz (6.9 cm) to maximize reception.

• Additionally, you can choose to purchase or find the following items but they are not required. Micro SD Card pre-loaded with PiAware

• Skip the step to program the micro SD card

• Raspberry Pi Case

• Protect the Raspberry Pi from shorts

• Ethernet Cable

• This is needed if not using Wi-Fi

• 1090 MHz Signal Filter

• If you live in an urban environment or a location that has a lot of radio noise this will help filter out that excess signal

• 200 joules Surge Suppressor

• The Raspberry Pi is vulnerable to voltage spikes so consider a surge protector to prevent damage.If you are in an area known for high voltage spikes consider an 800 joules surge protector

• Slide the SD card (with PiAware installed) into your Raspberry Pi.

• Optional: Put the case on the Raspberry Pi.

• Plug the USB SDR ADS-B receiver into the Raspberry Pi.

• Tightly plug in the antenna cable into the USB SDR ADS-B dongle.

• Plug the ethernet (internet) cable in. (If using WiFi skip this step)

• Plug the power into your Raspberry Pi.

• You should observe a solid red LED and a blinking green LED on the Raspberry Pi as well as yellow and green LEDs next to the Ethernet jack.

• View your ADS-B stats at:

• FlightAware will begin processing your data immediately and displaying your statistics within 30 minutes.

• or click 'My ADS-B' in the header while signed in. This will only appear after the site has sent data for 30 minutes.

• Configure your location and antenna height on your statistics page by clicking on the gear icon located to the right of the Site name.

• Multilateration, also known as MLAT, functions by pinpointing the location of an aircraft by knowing the locations of sites that received messages from the aircraft.

• The FlightAware stats page will also tell you the local IP of your device and provide a link for direct connection. This is where you can find a link to SkyAware, a web portal for viewing flights the receiver is picking up messages from on a map.

Dual ADS-B antennas, optimized for 978 MHz and 1090 MHz frequencies, and a WAAS GPS receiver are integrated into the casing to create Sentry Mini's compact design - measuring just 3.3 x 2.3 x 0.6 inches and weighing in at only 44 grams.

ADS-B receivers are unquestionably the hottest iPad accessory right now. These all-in-one devices stream GPS, subscription-free weather, traffic and sometimes even backup attitude information to your iPad, changing it from a static chart viewer to an interactive in-flight tool.

The first tip is easy: choose the app you prefer first, then choose an ADS-B receiver that works with that app. Some pilots get this backwards, chasing hardware around and switching between apps. That just leads to confusion and frustration.

Beyond these basics, there are two other features to consider: traffic and attitude. While all portable ADS-B receivers are limited in terms of how much traffic they display (see this article to learn why), dual band ADS-B receivers generally pick up more traffic. So if traffic is an important feature, consider a dual band receiver.

Battery life is another feature to think about. For a homebuilder wiring in an ADS-B receiver, or for a pilot who plans to keep his receiver plugged into the cigarette lighter, a built-in battery may not be necessary. For a renter or a pilot who prefers fewer wires, a built-in battery is an essential feature. We also think it has great value as a backup.

Select a receiver that has the widest range of compatibility with software apps should be the first step, you can always try several apps that meet your needs without too big a hit to the wallet, some have free trial period.

Say goodbye to difficult coax cable runs that reduce your reception performance. The all-in-one pingStation 3 includes the receiver, GPS, and antenna in an IP67 weatherproof enclosure, with power and data provided by a single Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) network cable connected right to your LAN. The quick pole-mount clamp design makes installation a snap.

The uAvionix pingUSB is the smallest, lightest and least expensive dual-band ADS-B traffic receiver on the market. Pilots are able to see real-time ADS-B traffic on their electronic flight bag (EFB) on their mobile device.

The Garmin GDL 52 SiriusXM/ADS-B receiver provides satellite weather, ADS-B traffic visibility, GPS position, and even backup attitude information with the subscription-free weather and traffic features of an ADS-B in datalink.

ADS-B stands for automatic dependent surveillance broadcast, and an ADS-B receiver is surveillance technology that determines an aircraft position via satellite navigation or other sensors and periodically broadcasts it, enabling the aircraft to be tracked.

An ADS-B receiver uses satellite navigation to determine aircraft position in three dimensions. A pilot using ADS-B will be able to locate other aircraft in the vicinity if they are equipped with ADS-B and see their location on their tablet.

When selecting an ADS-B receiver, the buyer should consider battery life, external power capability, and where the unit can be mounted. The pilot should avoid an installation that blocks the view out the windscreen or side window.

In addition to its weather and traffic capabilities, your GDL 50 feature set includes a built-in WAAS GPS receiver. This enables GDL 50 to deliver highly accurate aircraft position, speed and altitude information to your compatible mobile device app. Also, built-in attitude sensors enable select Garmin aviation portables and apps with our SVX synthetic vision technology to serve as a backup attitude reference4 during your flights. With virtual terrain, obstacles, runways, horizon cues, HSI, GPS speed, altitude and more, this brings a whole new perspective to your portable navigation.

Alternatively, the GDL 52 portable receiver also provides subscription-free access in the U.S. to ADS-B Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather information. With this, your compatible devices3 can display animated graphical weather plus METARs, TAFs, winds and temperatures aloft, PIREPs, NOTAMs and other features linked from ADS-B. And to help you maintain the most current weather picture, your GDL 52 receiver can queue the weather from ADS-B and/or SiriusXM while your display device is sleeping or turned off so it automatically updates when you turn the screen back on.

In addition to its weather, traffic and audio entertainment capabilities, your GDL 52 feature set includes a built-in WAAS GPS receiver. This enables GDL 52 to deliver highly accurate aircraft position, speed and altitude information to your compatible mobile device app. Also, built-in attitude sensors enable select Garmin aviation portables and apps with our SVX synthetic vision technology to serve as a backup attitude reference5 during your flights. With virtual terrain, obstacles, runways, horizon cues, HSI, GPS speed, altitude and more, this brings a whole new perspective to your portable navigation.

We recommend the following two options to purchase a Mode S/ADS-B receiver and contribute to the network. Both receivers have the OpenSky feeder preinstalled and require little technical expertise to setup and operate.

The OpenSky Receiver Kit from Jetvision is the cheapest (and our recommended) solution. The kit costs only 175 Euros (plus VAT) and includes all the hardware equipment and software that you need to setup a receiver at your place. This setup will give you already quite good reception with ranges of up to 600 km (depending on your environment). Setup and maintenance are very well documented in our manual. 041b061a72
