Buy Mode-S Beast GPS.
Are you wanting to buy a Beast or sell it?
I want to buy the ADS-B receiver that was installed in FlightAware FlightFeeder. I have attached a picture of it.
Thanks.
Is this to replace a faulty board in a FlightFeeder?
No .
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
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.
