I use and had this antenna for about 3 months now and it's a very solid performer it works really well with RTL1090, Plane Plotter and Virtual Radar Server or VRS for short. I use this antenna everyday almost to track Military aircraft/ADS-B I can pick up mostly anything same with Commercial jets and helicopters of all sorts. I never had any problems with this antenna since owning it and installing was easy to do so. I am happy with my purchase from DPD Productions the service from the staff is great! I'll buy from them again!

I have had a DPD ADS-B vertical for a couple years. It lives in the attic, as it did in my last home. It seems to work very well and I have had no problems.

I've been using one for about 4yrs. Solid antenna, range is incredible. i can track targets off the coast of Maine heading into JFK.

I highly recommend getting the Minicircuits ADS-B RF filter as well. I have the DPD antnena + filter and it's a great combination with the RTL SDR. (I'm using the R820T2 with the metal enclosure.)

Here's one of my best plots: Keep in mind that I'm on the southern slope of a hilltop... and our local terrain is pretty mountainous. Without a 100ft tower this is probably the best I can do at my current location.
