I'm using the filter with a FlightAware Pro Stick and I notice an improvement in coverage as shown in the attached.

Not greater range, just more aircraft.

I'v added a second screen capture taken 5 minutes later showing even less traffic as timeouts kick in.

I'd recommend the filter for use with a DVB-T SDR, such as the Pro Stick, but not with a specialist Mode-S receiver, for example the SBS 1/3, Puck or Radarcape.
