The external antennas make it a little more fragile & cumbersome to store compared to some other brands of ADS-B receivers, but those antennas also seem to pick up signals that the others might miss, which is more important to me, especially if a lot of clouds are around. External antennas also give you the option to mount antennas outside the fuselage, using cables with SMA connectors for further improved performance. For a permanently installed unit, this would seem to be the best way to go. For a portable unit, it's still pretty darn good. The 4 suction cup mount works well. 2 spare cups were included. ...And the package says made in the USA by a Vet. I'm having a hard time finding something to not like. Set up was pretty easy. It came with a power cable that has a switch in it, which is a nice bonus that I was not expecting. You can access the data in the unit directly using a hard IP address in a web browser once WiFi communications have been established. You can even view GPS info & local aircraft traffic there, without using actual flight software. It typically picks up about 10 GPS satellites at once, and that's without plugging in the external GPS antenna. Despite having all that information, altitude is often off by 100 feet or a little more, but that is common on other GPS units that I have too. A G-force indicator & other screens are also available on the basic pages. Calibration of the attitude indicator required probably close to a minute or so of straight & level flight after hitting the zero button. It's probably best done on the ground. The 6-hour battery that came with it actually lasted 5 hours before the unit cut out, then I turned it on again & got another hour, which did total to 6. Perhaps a power connector just got wiggled loose after 5 hours??? The ride was a little bumpy that day. The 6-hour battery that came with it is rated at 10,000mAH, which also means 10 amp-hours. That's a pretty big & chunky battery capacity in such a small package. Most of the others I have seen out there in that physical size carry more like 1/3 of that amount of charge. Your typical little Cessna often has about a 17 Amp-Hour battery for starting the motor. This thing seems to be a lot of bang for the buck. It fits well in this hard case - https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B09PJ5PPNT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Review: Reliable ADS-B Receiver at a fraction of the price - GREAT Customer Service - I fly several club and rental airplanes and wanted a portable ADS-B receiver. I decided to try Crewdog's Stratux because it was half the price - and even less than half - of many other portable units and it got great reviews. This was my first portable unit and I didn't want to spend $500 - $1200 on something I was not familiar with. All the excellent reviews are fully justified. 1. The service is GREAT! Sean gets back to you within a few hours and answers all questions or concerns. 2. The unit works perfectly. I tested this unit with ForeFlight and iFly GPS and it worked great. The AHRS was very stable and accurate - definitely useful as a backup in case of aircraft instrument failure. The WAAS GPS worked flawlessly and is very accurate. 3. Reception of ADS-B traffic and weather is excellent. 4. The unit's software is very easy to customize. 5. Like any electronic equipment - this unit is constantly being improved and updating the firmware is fast, easy, and free. This unit does not require any technical knowledge and worked for me right out of the box. 6. Battery life of the included, rechargeable battery is excellent. I used the Stratux on several 2-hour flights, and the battery showed about 70% remaining. It's also easy to use a spare portable battery for very long flights or if you won't be able to recharge between flights. 7. Another example of the great service is an EXTENDED free trial of iFly GPS for Crewdog customers This receiver a real bargain. Plus - it's EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE and the fantastic, no-hassle customer service makes me 100% satisfied that I bought the Crewdog receiver. ## Features - ASSEMBLED ADS-B KIT: Stratux dual band ADS-B receiver kit includes AHRS, fan controller, removable GPS puck, 10000mAh battery pack, suction mount, strap, SD card adapter, power cable, supports ForeFlight Synthetic Vision and other popular EFBs.

Power bank arrived with a low storage charge so be sure to charge it a while before attempting to use. Also this power bank doesn’t allow for “pass through” charging- it will not function when plugged in. The unit itself has worked fine for me thus far- at half the cost of the other brand. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stratux ADS-B Dual Band Receiver Aviation Weather and Traffic - External WAAS GPS, AHRS, Battery Pack, Suction Mount, Antennas, SDR - ASA CX-3 Flight Computer – Advanced Electronic E6B for Accurate Flight Planning and FAA Exam Preparation --- ## 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.nl/products/112399575-external-gps](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/112399575-external-gps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
