### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality antenna pulls in a lot of planes!
*by S***N on August 18, 2024*

As soon as I plugged this in I started picking up between two and times the messages/planes on my ADS-B receiver compared to the previous small antenna that came it. Very impressive! While I'm using this in my attic, the quality of this is great and it's clearly been designed for outdoor use in harsh environments. Great antenna for a great price!
