Is the cable that it comes with removable and if so what kind of connection does the actual antenna have?

Thanks for your question. It is not removable and we did that on purpose to make it more resistant.

Is this as good as the flight aware antenna? Any differences?

Okay, this may not be of much help, but currently we use the AirNav RadarBox flight stick with an indoor antennae (a really cheap one) which is excellent when we are away. We use the outdoor one when we are at home and it picks up practically everything within 200 miles plus. I have no idea about the Flight Aware, but the AirNav suits us fine. I hope that helps...

I’m currently using this antenna at 1090, how does it perform at 978Mhz?

There's a different antenna for that purpose.

Is it possible/reasonable to diplex (use 2 antennas with combiner) to avoid tower shadow? Would losses outweigh benefit?

Yes you can combine two of them and the losses would not outweigh the benefit. They need to be in exact phase or you will introduce additional directivity in the pattern. IIRC you will want to use two equal length cables of 75 ohm into a combiner with a 50ohm feedline to your receiver. That will co-phase them. Worth reading about beamforming, phasing, and combining. The ARRL antenna handbook has a good write up.

werkt perfect

deze ads-b antenne werkt perfect en is makkelijk aansluitbaar via de sma connector aan het einde van de kabel. aan de antenne zelf is de kabel fabrieksmatig vast gemaakt, zo kan die niet loskomen en ook niet roesten. top product!

Calidad excepcional

Vengo de otra antena con resultados infinitamente peores. Mi ubicación no es la mejor, pero aún así tengo datos de cientos de kilómetros de distancia.Merece la pena la inversión.

Sam performance than FlightAware antenna

I have 7 flightaware antennas and they works ver well. I bought one AirNav Antenna and after one month I saw same performance that flightaware antenna, with difference that cable length is 10 m (my flightaware system has 4,5 m length), then I can put my decoder and rpi inside my house, and is cheaper than flightaware system (AirNav antenna with cable $50; flightaware antenna and LR400 cable I spent $75)... I recommend this antenna!
