I'd rather buy a new sbs-3 and a couple of dongles for spare and get pi**es on the change.

They are restricting MLAT to just using these boxes. At that price, coverage could be a bit thin!

There is a misconception that mlat only needs three receiver ground stations to cover a large area.

In practice scores of GS are required to cover a small country like England , and each fix needs at least five of those GS to see the target...otherwise ambiguous plots may result.

Planeplotter's Mlat uses over 250 GS for the UK alone , split into a dozen  automatic sectors !

The FR24 receiver is not for sale.  The Radarcape is similar and is "plug and play" but doesn't include any user software.
