History / Choosing an ADS B Receiver

Revisions

  • Add 'Getting the antenna to a window' tip — USB extension vs. long coax Warn buyers that long RG174 coax (~1 dB/m at 1090 MHz) negates better antenna placement, and that the right fix is a short RF cable plus a USB extension to the dongle (or an LNA at the antenna for long runs).

  • Add 'Choosing an ADS-B Receiver' buying guide for the DIY path The README's receiver recommendations weren't on the wiki, where DIY builders look. Add a dedicated page and cross-link it from the sidebar, Home, Network and Setup, and Flight Data and Updates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
