Antenna recommendations

[gcopter1]

Looking for a place where I can browse models and prices, for an antenna capable of receiving in the 1090 Mhz range. I might add that previously I used an ST-2 and ST-3 from Antennacraft Both suffered damaged from falling (guess I'll need a better way to affix them so this time around am looking for a whip for home use, of course.

You want a collinear coaxial antenna for 1090 mHz. This -

ADSB antenna

You won't believe me but I use something like this on a small piece of sheet metal. https://www.bpbsurplus.com/xcart/DMNI50-2-2-L-Band-Blade-Antenna.html I also use a very short coax and the rtl dongle is in the mast on top of my house. A long USB extender from monoprice.com and I get great range. Here's an example.

I actually used regular scanner antennas for my RadarBox for a while with less than spectacular results. The ST2 did pretty well, but that may have been more due to the RG6 Quad-shield coax compared to the RG58 used on the ST3.

I then bought the DPD ADS-b Vertical antenna (DPD Productions - VHF Air/Aviation Band, FBO Base, PCL, AWOS, ACARS & ADS-B (SBS / RadarBox) Antennas for Commercial & Hobbyist Applications) and it works great.

I have the indoor Blade model in my attic and it works very well.
