About ADSB Receiver

This app enables your device to receive live ADSB data (978 MHz UAT and 1090 MHz ES). All you need is a supported USB dongle and an OTG cable, both available from various sources on the internet for less than $20.-. No subscription required!

** Please note: YOU NEED ADDITIONAL HARDWARE TO USE THIS APP

Visit http://hiz.ch/index.php/home/adsb-receiver for more details!

Use this app to provide live ADSB data to Avare! All data received (traffic and weather) will be made available automatically, once Avare has been detected. (Make sure to enable "Use ADSB Weather" in Avare.) Download Avare to display Nexrad weather and standard METAR, TAF, PIREP, WINDS, etc. reports!

It's free:

This test version is fully functional but comes with a package limit. Please consider buying the "Pro" version to support the development of this app. We need a lot of hardware... Thanks!!

Pro version:

USAGE

Attach a supported USB dongle to your Android device by using an OnTheGo (OTG) cable. Make sure your device supports OTG! Start the app and allow access to the dongle. You should see packages flowing in quickly, depending on your location.



HARDWARE

List of supported tuners:

• Rafael Micro R820T (recommended)
• Rafael Micro R820T2 (recommended)
• Elonics E4000
• Fitipower FC0013 (low performance - not recommended)

FC0013 is supported, but often has limits close to 1090 MHz, which can reduce the performance to receive ADSB data.

Example dongles:

NooElec NESDR Nano (R820T) (recommended - good antenna!)

I couldn't believe how easily this worked "right out of the box". I was able to identify the plane right overhead immediately. Altitude & speed. The plane identifier was cryptic though but usefull for my purposes.

Its a pity there was no mention of connecting a dongle before I used up bandwidth and downloaded to my phone.

Only good for 500 frames then it tells you you have to buy pro version. Now it just takes up space. Argggghhh

Range can be dramatically extended by building a collinear adsb antenna. (Google it)

Initially had a snag with the usb port, but thanks to excellent after sales service this issue has been dealt with as it was a external driver problem, NOT this app. Have since purchased the Pro Version with same success, thanks Micheal

Awesome app. Still simple but do the work as expected UPDATE: I just came to update about this app, since I saw some negative comments. I beta-test this app, I have the free and I paid for the pro too since its incredible good work from the dev. I tested thi on several cellphones, and for several I mean more than 40+. With modified rooms, kernles, and a super bit etc. The app works flawless always. I use a SDR with an Y cable. Since I have my sdr connected to a board that have step down and up (for sdr radio) havce a micro usb connector, so I have an OTG cable (micro usb to USB female), then an Y cable (the one that came for external hard drives, 2 usb male to mini usb) and the board. the data part of the Y cable to the otg and the other usb to an external battery backup power ( the one that help you to charge your phone when you are not at home). The SDR some times use more power than your phone can provide thru otg. So this will fix like 99% of the problems, and people can stop blaming the app when the problem is hardware. Keep up the awesome work Mike!

I bought the RTL2832U+R820T DVB-T USB Digital TV Tuner Receiver for $8 on eBay. DON'T DO IT. This device only receives to 800mhz. Even so, hooking it to my S2 phone and my Samsung 10.1 Note, with the little 4" tall antenna inside my house it started picking up jets flying over right away. My Tablet said "High Current Application" on the USB port. I wonder, can I tap into the USB wire and put 5V USB power there, maybe with a couple of good diodes? UPDATE: 978 weather and small aircraft is now available. You have to select 978 or 1090. Would have liked to get both. When set to 1090mhz but says my RTL is not compatible at 978. Bummer. Think I'll go buy one of the recommended radios. Heck it's only $18. Major problem is that you can't charge the Tablet while using this. I just went a built a Stratux and wifi into the tablet. I found that my Samsung 10.1" tablet also wants a specific 12v charger. You can't just apply 5V to the red and ground to the black. That will only charge at 300ma, not enough to keep up the battery with the Tablet on. You have to hook a 10k ohm resistor to the +5 and then to both the Tx and Rx wires, then a 3K ohm to ground. ...

INITIAL POST: There was this BIG problem with being unable to use any of the functions - Map, Data, Options, Help, except for Restart and Exit on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4". UPDATE: Unchecking " Do not keep activities" under "Developer options" solved the problem. The app now works beautifully. The developer is very responsive to all requests for help (check the reviews); he even offered a free copy of the Pro version! Outstanding customer service, wish there were more developers like him. (FYI, I turned the offer down - IMHO, this developer deserves to be helped.) TO SUM UP: SDR hardware - $11...20. ADS-B software $2.60. Having a tool in the cockpit that helps you avoid midair collisions, and a developer that responds immediately to a request for support: PRICELESS! I would give this app a 6 *.

Why am I not seeing any option to view the maps in the description? I paid for the upgrade but nothing seems different from the free version. I restarted my device which is supported but nothing new shows. Thank you for the reply

X70%
by X####:

This would be an awesome app except for one fatal and one annoying flaws. There is no provision to adjust for tuning error, if your device is off by more than a couple of PPM it will not receive any data. There needs to be an option to place the error offset in units of + or - PPM. Also PLEASE add an option to NOT try to start the app when I plug in the device! Most times when I plug in the device it's to use the radio app, not to run this app...

H70%
by H####:

The app seems to work as advertised I am simply having trouble with my setup I think linked to the antenna connection. Hi I have had limited success getting this to work on the ground with a NooElec 820T and problems in the air. If you could please help me troubleshoot it would be appreciated thanks.

This is THE BEST ADSB app available! The integration with Avare is just out of this world Now you can track your planes on any type of aeronautical chart even can draw notes on the screen! "the other" ADS-B app was a joke and a recourse hog Wishlist: the possibility to enter the frequency deviation (PPM) maybe a few more flight details SUPERB

Love this app. I would pay if you could figure out how to do WX. It is vastly more important to me than traffic.

Auto starts when dongle is connected. Re-starts if stopped. Will not allow SDRTouch to access the dongle. UPDATE Found a solution. First start Avar ADSB. Then connect dongle. Ten start SDRTouch. Then quit Avar ADSB. It will not restart and not interfere with SDRTouch.
