Title: How do I connect RadarBox to my PC and Antenna?
Post by: AirNav Team on March 19, 2008, 08:52:50 PM
The RadarBox receiver is connected to your PC using a USB cable with a standard PC connector on one end and a mini USB connector on the other.  The USB cable comes with the RadarBox.

Here is the back of the RadarBox:

The Supplied antenna has a male SMA connector which fits onto the female SMA connector on the back of the radarBox receiver.

If you already have an antenna that is suitable for the UHF frequencies that Mode S signals are transmitted on, then you will need an adaptor.
