I want to buy the ADS-B receiver that was installed in FlightAware FlightFeeder.  I have attached a picture of it.

Anmer

Thanks.

Is this to replace a faulty board in a FlightFeeder?

I'm not aware this was distributed other than in a FlightFeeder.

How do you plan to use it?

I plan to use the receiver through the Planeplotter program

Anmer

Thanks.

The FlightFeeder Beast was developed to be used with a Raspberry Pi running the FlightFeeder app. But it will run with PiAware.

Additionally it can set the location coordinates when used with a GPS antenna.

PiAware output can be used by PlanePlotter.

But, in my opinion, you'd be better off, financially, using a FlightAware Pro Stick or other DVB receiver and set the coordinates manually.

Sorry for the long reply, but there are users of this receiver and they use the flightaware /
beast-splitter , I think you know it , here is the link https://github.com/flightaware/beast-splitter

I still don't understand why you want to buy a Beast GPS?

You can achieve what you want using lower cost hardware.
