And if the guys from FL24 had done a little more research and/or read my forum posts they would have found out that the R820T is MUCH better than the E4000 tuner for ADS-B.
And.... that the RTLSDR R820T mini even more better working than the big version.

The mini has a lower noise floor and much less spikes.... 1090MHz reception skyrocketed with the mini.
Compare: http://x264.nl/dump/rtlsdr-r820t-big-sdrsharp.jpg vs http://x264.nl/dump/rtlsdr-r820t-mini-sdrsharp.jpg
And then there is the antenna, you can buy a "ADS-B" antenna for nearly 200 EURO (which is just a piece of coax cable) or you can actually do some testing and find out a proper GP works so much better.
Like so: http://x264.nl/dump/ads-b-antenna-gr...ane-proper.jpg
But let's have the results speak for themselfs: http://x264.nl/dump/rtlsdr-mini-virt...1.1-record.jpg (yes this is my reception, all planes on the map are from my setup)
