The right screenshot is a PlaneFinder aka Pinkfroot. Its coverage is very similar to the early model FR24 receiver I have although as you can compare that the combination of the Beaglebone Black and the puck does just slightly more filing in the spikes due to terrain impairments. The antennas on the horizontal plane are separated by 2 ft.
On the FlightAware setup, lessons learned from dongle decoders, first signals are not the best signals to decode. An example is the extraneous track to 300 nm....that was obviously an error that neither FR24 nor PlaneFinder equipment would validate before determining to plot.
Since Gunter in collaboration with FR24 designed and coded the decoders in the Beast and Beaglebone it is clear these have the most reliable decoders and hardware. The world depends on our data...correct data.
