or this one:
from seller stanislavpalo130
Recently I bought an ADS-B antenna from him. Looking somehow cheap, but mechanically decent design, electrically good.
In any case, take care for the cable connector. Ask the seller, if not specified. Having stated not being keen in building antenna, I suppose you won't assemble cable connectors? So buy the right one.
For further investigation: Any aviation communictaion band antenna should work, as ACARS uses normal VHF communication frequencies. The aviation band is 118-137 MHZ.

Are there any decent antennas that are within £100 that will work well with ACARS?DPD Productions has numerous antennas designed specifically for Air/Aviation communications use, shown below. There are models available for the 118-136 MHz voice air band, in both base and mobile versions. These can be utilized by an FBO, or in any type of base ops setup. They can also work as a dedicated receive ante
Take your pick.
