 :P

I had heard that the Micro ADSB is only effective down to 3000ft and then contact is lost. Is this true?

I am looking for a small system to take out so will monitor descending traffic down to landing and also any passing high level aircraft.

Anmer

I've not heard this but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Did you hear in from a reliable source?  If it were true, I'd have expected lots of mentions.

I've had traffic well below 3000ft on approach and departing from Reus Airport with my microADSB.

I'm using the latest version of the firmware (v9). I think the firmware version (v5) that originally shipped was buggy and could lead to errors in reporting contacts.

But not too soon ;) My order was shipped out on the 20th Feb.  I think it takes about three weeks for delivery - and I thout Royal Mail were slow LOL

Must say that I've been impressed by the Micro-ADSB from Miro. Works well with Planeplotter, and has been really useful when out.

At the Sheraton Deira (Dubai), it picked up the a/c just as they lifted off. At Hong Kong (Marriott Sky City) it was equally as good, with aircraft on taxi being detected, with no problem, and arriving aircraft, being picked up as they passed my hotel window. (due to location of the hotel)

At home (Manchester), as a standalone, it isn't so good for me, but planeplotter has plenty of sharers that fill the gaps.

Mine was delivered in 10 days, and Miro is great to deal with.

Have you ordered direct from Miro or the GNS5890 from Transair?

Isn't it a microADSB in a different wrapper?

It is, and less than half the price of the GNS 5890 (£80 instead of £160).

I haven't used a GNS 5890, so I can't comment if it's better or worse than the microADSB stick.

Hi,

That connector takes the antenna.

It is male SMA ?

It's not clear what the connection is.

The microADSB (the GNS5890 is based on the microADSB) has a "female" SMA.  The connector from an antenna is usually a "male" SMA.  Maybe we can assume this is the same for the GNS5890 or contact GNS direct:

I want to be able to put the antenna of 1090Mhz without wire united microADSB.

See examples:




Also the power to have an adapter like the one of ejejmplo:

You can use BNC-SMS adapter?
No, I outside want that the base of the antenna of GNS-5890 the male SMA.

I am waiting for answer of the manufacturer to near the type of connector in the base of the antenna 1090Mhz.

Thanks.
