Review: Great at ADS-B Signals - With a good antenna (my discone) I can track aircraft for hundreds of miles from my home.
Review: Outstanding - I replaced dedicated dongles with this and I'm getting 150% more messages per second. Also, much less clutter.

## Features

- FlyCatcher is an extremely high-performance, dual-channel SDR for airplane tracking and positioning applications. It is designed to receive both ADS-B (1090 MHz) signals and UAT (978 MHz). Outperforms all existing low-cost ADS-B solutions!
- Designed in a Pi HAT form factor for seamless compatibility with Raspberry Pi, but is also compatible with other Windows, Linux, Android and Mac OS host devices
- FlyCatcher has a compact form factor, making it portable and easy to carry, whether used with a Pi or a different host device. Despite its small size, it delivers impressive performance, ensuring reliable and accurate data reception for all your aviation-related endeavors
- This device comes with 2 separate preamplifiers that have ultra-low noise levels. You can choose to bypass them either using an external switch or software GPIO0, which is especially convenient when in extremely close proximity to a transmitter
- Your purchase includes the FlyCatcher dual-SDR Pi HAT, standoffs and headers to facilitate connection with a Pi, and 2 USB cables for connectivity to your host device. Though FlyCatcher does not utilize the Raspberry Pi GPIO due to its inherent bus speed limitations, there is a passthrough so the header can be utilized for other projects or Pi HATs

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great at ADS-B Signals
*by J***E on March 1, 2026*

With a good antenna (my discone) I can track aircraft for hundreds of miles from my home.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding
*by C***H on December 16, 2025*

I replaced dedicated dongles with this and I'm getting 150% more messages per second. Also, much less clutter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Range is better than rtlsdr v 3 but limited to UAT and adsb so it's like... Is it worth it .
*by M***R on June 30, 2025*

It works great but with dedicated adsb and UAT antennas I'm only getting a few hundred miles range which isn't bad but I would prefer hardcore observable distances. Worth the money get it.
