Customer support is awesome. Had some issues with mail and they were on it. Using this for UAT and products are working great. I wouldn't buy anywhere else.

I’ve been very impressed with the FlightAware Pro Stick
I been very impressed with the FlightAware Pro Stick. It has a solid build quality and was easy to set up and get running. The ADS-B reception has been excellent and if you pair with a decent antenna, it can pick up aircraft from like 150 to 200nm away, even with the flightaware antenna its picks up from like 150 to 185.
Overall, it’s been reliable and performs very well for ADS-B tracking. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good-quality SDR for tracking aircraft.

This was a replacement for an existing failed Pro Stick. Really not much to say, it works and works well or I wouldn't keep using them.
