I dont have Radarbox ComStation or Micro RadarBox, so cannot answer your question.
Aparently Micro RadarBox, being a DVB-T USB receiver, should work with RPi in the same way as any other DVB-T works with RPi.

I was thinking about the original boxes to save my poor old laptop from expiring from heat exhaustion! (Yes even in England ;-) )

Hi Dave
I don't have Radarbox hardware. Can you tell me which cable your Radarbox uses to connect to your Windows computer (USB, Serial, Parallel, com port, or Ethernet)?
If the Radarbox is connected to router by an Ethernet cable, and Windows computer connects to it on network, I may find a way to feed data to airnav through Pi instead of Windows computer.
