The dongles are based on a digital television tuner, and numerous types will work – both generic TV sticks and specialized ADS-B sticks (produced by FlightAware). In addition to the device, you will need an RTL-SDR compatible USB dongle. In that case, we suggest the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with as much memory you can afford. Suppose you are buying a new appliance specifically for this project. Still, this project runs on all the devices mentioned above. These sites suggest the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ as the preferred device. We'll build the receiver using the parts that are outlined on the Flightradar24, FlightAware, and RadarBox websites:
