We make a few devices already that work as a drop-in stratux replacement! An ultra low cost version based on m1421 is definitely on our minds but we're focusing on keeping up with our preorders for Winglet first. Most of the work on se

Components are specced on the datasheet according to regulatory requirements (e.g. where the ISM band is). What they can actually receive comes down to the performance of the RF frontend and the firmware :)

Yes, that's also us! The post you shared was from our ADSBee 1090 series of receivers, which are based on RP2040 PIO and a discrete RF frontend. Our new receiver is much smaller and optimized specifically for low power and embedded det

On the SDR side, dump978 is what most people use, but SDRs are generally not well suited to embedded applications in terms of power / form factor / cost. Our firmware is fully open source, and our UAT decoder was introduced last y

Ha, it's very fun to see that people know about the project! ADSBee 1421's very low power consumption is determined by its architecture. Where ADSBee 1090 has a discrete RF frontend with multiple power hungry LNAs and a power dete

Re: the GPS question, there are plans to add GPS support, and we have hardware set up for easy integration of a GPS receiver, since it's a common ask from people who are looking for an electronic flight bag device. It's on the to-

Currently, customers that run a fleet of ADSBees set them up to feed their own endpoint, which can be very easy to set up using open source software. For instance, we have https://globe.whereplane.xyz/ , which is fed by a ha

This book is a great reference! Junzi has it in website form as well: https://mode-s.org/1090mhz/ Much more affordable than purchasing a copy of DO-260. I consulted it a lot while working on an open-source ADS-B receiv
