Very nice. Do you have the SBS-1 or 2?

It's the SBS Mk1 and there is also a Mk2 (one has a 5v power supply and the other is 12v)
These units are for the hobbyists.

Not to be confused with the SBS2 which is the business product for airports.

Depends what you're comfortable with budget wise ;)
Google SBS-1 Basestation and see what the dealers are quoting now.
I bought mine three years ago but they're cheaper now that there is a competitive product (Airnav's Radarbox)
