Alternative: HackRF PortaPack with Mayhem Firmware
If you already own a HackRF PortaPack, you do not need a separate RTL-SDR dongle: The Mayhem firmware includes a fully functional ADS-B receiver built right into the device. Aircraft are displayed live on the built-in screen with callsign, altitude, speed, and distance – completely standalone, no computer required!
- Standalone: No PC or Raspberry Pi needed – the display shows everything directly
- Portable: Battery-powered – receive ADS-B on the go
- More than ADS-B: Mayhem also decodes airband voice (AM), POCSAG, TPMS, weather stations and much more
