Online sources saying Kinetic's 1090MHz ADS-B Puck and SDR Puck sell for £249 incl. VAT

[249 British Pound Sterling = 404.45 US Dollar] 

My sources tell me that the price of the Puck will be about £249 incl. VAT.

I've too have heard that the price will be £249 incl VAT.

As reported by two members on the FlightRadar24 Forum thread.

FYI kinetic may well not be so involved in the puck development as from Jan 2013 KineticChris has formed his own site that will support users etc and more detailed info on puck will be listed there suffice to say target releas date is around mid March

The company is "Taylor Made RF "

Can't help but think £250 is a bit steep given recent developments in the ADS-B receiver field.

I have no doubt it will be a quality product, and I like the Basestation software so I'm sure there will be plenty of interest.

Just my thoughts...

Judging by the number of R820T dongles appearing on PlanePlotter and elsewhere and the continuing development of ADSBscope (free) I'd say the Pucks have missed the boat.

Hi Tom .While I agree with you in one way in missing the Boat. Will the popularity of the Dongle's push the price up?

Hi Bilko, I can't see how it can as there will be many more millions sold for TV use.

Hopefully though, it may see the introduction of better receivers based on the R820T for ADS-B.

It might even make Kinetic sell BaseStation as a standalone to work with the dongle though.

It might even make Kinetic sell BaseStation as a standalone to work with the dongle though. 

A suggestion that's been put to Kinetic too many times to remember but always rejected.

I agree Tom, dongles for Mode-S are a small fraction of the total market.

Hi Gent's. Yes I accept what you guys are saying. But will Manufacture's turn down the chance to make money?.I have 2 tv Dongles with different chipset's. Plus the FunCube is selling for £149 An unable to do the things the Dongle can. Someone very soon will release a Stable software and then we'll see. As the person at Uni who I
got a couple of dongle's for his banging on about them .But thats as far as he goes
