The latest offering from AirNav Systems available to purchase on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08BC11Z7W?pf_rd_r=AZ06T5XBZK655T3C2VGD&pf_rd_p=e632fea2-678f-4848-9a97-bcecda59cb4e

However, as it is illegal to provide air traffic control feeds from within the UK, the associated software for selecting stations/frequencies isn't available for the UK, so I'm not sure why AirNav are trying to sell it here as they can't use the data they would gain through sharing.  it is simply another SDR dongle that would need to be used with software such as SDR Sharp.

Thanks Nigel for sharing this information.

I see AirNav is also selling a UAT "Flightstick" as well as a 1090MHz filter.  All overpriced!

Primarily to earn money out of unsuspecting customers and, secondly, to get shared audio data from those who either don't know their local regulations or don't care.

The VHF Flightstick packaging directs customers to www.radarbox.com/flightstickVHF for Setup Instructions.

Unsurprisingly, for AirNav, there are no instructions on that link.  In fact they're somewhere else, if you can find them.

And, as usual, if one follows AirNav's directions, one will end up sharing received data by default, possibly illegally.
