1090 Antennas
« on: January 24, 2017, 10:53:20 AM »
What are people on the forum using as a 1090 antenna?
Any strong recommendations?

Anyone building their own?
(I can measure, solder and crimp ;) )

I use this, got it for around £9, there are many like it for the same price as it's pretty basic. I'll post a picture with my plot. I'd build my own if I were you, I don't know how to unfortunately :P

Do you know that you can get an aerial through 360radar reasonably priced.  I've had three and all work really well.
