Tried this in the EC thread but no answers !
Having been a Stratux ADSB receiver user for a few years now, both in its original USA form and more recently the Version for the EU, the latest and greatest version is now using the 64bit architecture of the Pi3B (or later).
So just off to order one, but does anyone know if the Pi3 or Pi4 will fit in the Stratux moulded cases, with the fan and space inside for GPS etc, or is it a different PCB size and shape.
I must say, now that it supports bearingless Mode C targets as well as 1090 ADSB and with additional NooElec receivers able to be used Flarm, PAW etc etc - it does seem to fit the bill quite well. The only snag I have had, has been the Nooelec supplied aerials. They do have a propensity to lose the centre pin and come adrift where the co-ax runs through the hinge, so I use the direct connection to the NooElec SDR with the telescopic aerial shortend to a few inches (about 3'') that sits in the front screen of the aeroplane. The supplied rubber aerials are just a simple 5/8ths over a 1/4 so not a lot to be gained there its much easier to place the small telescopic aerial in the front screen.
