Welcome to this site.

Don't have 3D but normal Radarbox is as follows.

If you buy a Radarbox brand new you get 12 months free 5 minute delayed subscription included in the price.  Once the 12 months is up you are free to pay for delayed or realtime.

Realtime rates can be found on the Air Nav website and can also be purchased at any time, even during the first 12 months if you choose.

Depends what subscription you have?  See Sun Worshipper's post.

If you want realtime data you have to pay extra.  Or use PlanePlotter instead for a lot less.

The data you get from your aerial is live though.  Get yourself an external aerial and increase your coverage area.

I have an external, (on the chimnney head) I also use with my SBS 1, must admit does not seem to get half as many contacts (as SBS 1) from the aerial.

When I last did a comparative test, the SBS-1 was delivering approx 15% more aircraft than my RadarBox.
