Makes excellent gifts for aviation geeks, hobbyists, and pilots! Review: I now have 3 of these receivers in service, and the performance on 978MHz is much better than the Nano 2 receivers I replaced. The Nano 2 is a decent enough performer, but the pre-amp plus bandpass filter included in the RadarBox receiver both boosts the available signal and excludes nearby interference. You will read complaints here and elsewhere that these units run HOT, and they do. So do the Nanos. But the same "fix" works for both - remove the plastic case, to allow better air circulation. My current working configuration places the RPi and both a FlightAware 1090 and RadarBox 978 receiver in a water-resistant box mounted directly below the antenna and powered via a PoE hat. Temperatures in the box have remained reasonable with outside temps from -10F through (so far) 97F, and both receivers continue to work just fine. Review: I purchased both AirNav RadarBox FlightSticks and PI box and then made my own antennas. They work great. ## Features - Integrated 978 MHz Band Pass Filter and ESD protection. - 20.5dBi in-built Amplifier that guarantees 25-80% increased range. - Compatible with Raspberry Pi.

They work great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***. on 12 January 2022* Used on a raspberry pi to monitor UAT 978 MHz in the area. Does work well but gets very hot. Considering removing the plastic cover and adding a fan nearby for cooling... reason for dropping one star. Electronics don't like heat! ## Frequently Bought Together - AirNav Radar FlightStick UAT - 978 MHz USB Receiver with Integrated Filter, Amplifier and ESD Protection - AirNav Radar FlightStick - ADS-B USB Receiver with Integrated Filter, Amplifier and ESD Protection - 1090MHz 978MHz Dual Band ADS-B Antenna N-Type Female Outdoor 5dBi Fiberglass Antennas + 10ft N-Male to SMA-Male Extension Cable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/349312888-airnav-flightstick-uat-978-mhz](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/349312888-airnav-flightstick-uat-978-mhz) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
