That comparison was written by AirNav and is widely acknowledged as heavily biased and one-sided.
Visit Radarspotters if you want to get an honest, independent comparison.

What is also cool about boxes also is when you catch unknown private jets
and wonder,who the hell is that? You will be surprised how many of them
flying around.
Earlier tonite logged (43BE80) VP-BPZ Boeing 727-17 0045z Mfg. in 1970 going from FL27K to FL36k.

Catching private jets.
Speaking of catching private jets, yesterday I caught one that I thought was pretty interesting.
N32MJ a Gulfstream G-4 @ 38k
Belongs to Magic Johnson, registration N32MJ (32) his number (MJ) name and the aircraft callsign
yep you guessed it MAGIC 32.
Looking back at my logs for this tail number it has been by here numerous times.

Where did you order from??
Thats a good one! Also see quite a few Nascar owned private jets during
race weekends around here along with usual Netjets affiliated private jets.
Wall Street Journal add last week and Netjets claims fleet of 800.
I think I have logged about 500 of them so far and counting.
Never ends.Just look for the QS tail numbers..

Check your lotto numbers?
Do I take cash or gold? I'll take platinum, silver and gold

I couldnt resist with all this talk going on about the radarbox. I purchased one from R&L Electronics for 499.00 plus 10.00 shipping!! Best price that I have seen so far. Accoring to the tracking number I should be recieving it tomorrow! I cant wait to get it set up and running!

Homestea, let me know what you think. Mine should be under the tree on the 25th. Mine is coming from the same place.
I don't think it was ever intended to be regarded as balanced at all, after all it is on AirNav's own page, clearly identified as written byAirNav's staff.
I did check out both SBS and AirNav's products before I bought the AirNav. While the SBS was pretty cool, I thought the AirNav product would be easier to set up and use. If I had to do it all over again I would likely stick with the AirNav but wouldn't mind trying an SBS box as well.
You are correct in that you need to check independent sources for balanced reviews instead of advertising. It is very similar to the debate over which scanner is better, the 996XT or PSR600. While each does pretty much the same thing they each have pluses and minuses, and the differing features may make your decision easier. If the SBS has something that you really want and the AirNav doesn't, then the SBS is the one you should get.
While I sold my AirNav after 6 months, if more aircraft in my area start using the system I might look into getting one again, or maybe the SBS or whatever else is available then. Of course of an SBS comes up for sale at the right price at the right time (meaning when I am cash-flush...) then who knows... Kind of like I ended up with the AirNav!
Happy Monitoring!
Just a follow up from the other day as to why E-Bay's Gulfstream 5 is in the area.
Must have landed in Georgetown De.

Just ordered a AN Radarbox for my shack here in South Central KY. Will be great to see live instead of delayed stuff around my location. E3s and assorted tankers do their refueling an AR111 right above me. Will be great to monitor three ways, on the scanner, visually/when its clear, and now on the Radarbox (hopefully)

New boy on the block:
Aurora Eurotech
and according to it's FAQ's, it will do Mode-C.
Also, check out Casper - live aircraft tracking to watch a box in use.

Not available in USA - legally! Give it time, they will show up on eBay and people will buy them up like the did with the Chinese portables!
I'm probably going to hold out for one of the since the majority of air traffic is in Mode C (in the US). Still is nice to see the international stuff flying over, but living near KATL (Hartsfield Airport), we have A LOT of air traffic here!
