This ADS-B Receiver is excellent. The only complaint that I have is that the box doesn't come with any instructions except for the power bank. Most people will watch a YouTube video to get it setup, but a detailed instruction manual regarding features, how to setup, the functionality, etc. would be great.
Works great right out of the box. Photo shows what comes with the kit as of this review.

The image shows everything that came in the box.
The Stratux itself.
A suction cup mount with six total cups, two extra after mounting the four to the mount.
Two antennas, one for each frequency.
A power cable with button to make turning the Stratux off easier.
A 10Ah battery. (Actual capacity measured to 9.3Ah)
A strap to strap the battery to the Stratux.
A micro SD card reader to reflash the micro SD card that is already in the Stratux.

The Stratux came with the latest firmware and worked without issue right out of the box. Make sure to put your phone or tablet in airplane mode then turn on WiFi and connect to the stratux wifi to configure the device as well as change settings.

The battery is different than the one shown in the image. The one in the listing uses a 6Ah battery with a built in cord. The one supplied is a 10Ah without a built in cord. To replace the built in cord, they have
included a cord that has a power button.

This new battery holds about 9.3Ah as seen in the image bottom left.
This new battery has USB C to charge however it does not seem to have a USB C controller as it charges at 5V 2A just like the USB B Micro does. Further, this battery cannot charge a USB C device via the USB C port. Only the two USB A ports offer charge. Considering the use case for this battery of powering the Stratux, it is good enough for the job.

While I doubt it is required, it is possible to gracefully shutdown the stratux using the UI by connecting to the webui of the device itself. It is a small computer after all and shutting it down gracefully when possible couldn't hurt.
Works well, though usb power connector and fan need to be more robust

So first off this little guy works as designed and is a really good value. Foreflight connects right up with my iPad and
myself and my CFI both will connect to it for traffic alerts.
AHRS works great too... i had a real world vacuum pump failure at night, so I switched on my attitude display in foreflight which was a great safety net.

Things to keep in mind though, and I don't want to discourage what you are getting out of this device for the tremendous value that it is, but do keep these in mind on what you give up though by not going with the more expensive alternatives incase you are daily instead of weekly like me:

1. Needs an external battery, and the connector on the raspberry pi in the unit is weak. This isn't the fault of the assembler, the pi's the micro usb connector isn't very robust. I've been using mine for 6 months now and this connector has loosened up and prevented my device from receiving reliable power. I finally pulled it apart thinking i'd have to replace the raspberry pi in it and i was able to bend the connector back into shape and spare it. Thankfully if I do destroy the connector, a replacement PI is cheap and easily swapped.

The higher dollar units with their internal batteries do not run into this.

2. The fan has gotten extremely loud when its running...sounds like the bearing is shot in...not sure what the quality is of the fan that comes with it (sleeve bearing perhaps?) but i'm looking for a replacement fan though. Not sure if the higher dollar units even have fans, if they don't then definite ding here.

3. Obnoxious Antennas. They stick out, take up space in my flight back, take up space on the window. Higher dollar units with their integrated antennas don't have this issue.

But dollar for dollar, a great value, with these weaknesses I'm only knocking 1 star off because of the great value this device is.
WOW!

I haven't flight tested it yet, so i cant speak for the weather function. The traffic function is amazing. Set the unit on my window ledge and sat inside watching airplanes as they flew over. i have spare batteries and there's an adapter included in case you have your own battery. Assembly was super easy. Took 5 minutes tops, took about 30 seconds to connect and see airplanes. The battery that comes with the unit has a plug attached directly to the battery that unfolds and plug conveniently into the side of the Stratux. It has a "home built" look (with the strap for the battery, two antennas, and the actual unit itself, having to unplug it to turn it off) but it's got twice as many features at less than half the price. It also had no problems picking up a signal from the middle of my living room so I have a hard time believing it'd have any trouble picking up a signal anywhere in an airplane.
The fan kicked on a couple of times and seemed to work well to keep it cool. It's easy to connect to an iPad and to use with ForeFlight. The video provided on youtube by crewdog was excellent. He explained everything very well. I ran it for two hours with no hiccups. My house is underneath the flight path of a busy airport and it always displayed traffic. Very excited to actually use this and see the weather features, but so far i'm Very very impressed with the product. The cable that comes with it is a little too short for a battery, so i may buy a bigger one...but that's a minor detail. It comes with a 6000 MAH battery and I bought an extra 8000 MAH. It's only a back up battery anyway. So far, very impressed.
Worth not money but not the most reliable.

You get what you pay for. Eventually I started experiencing connectivity issues in the air and after about 6 months I gave up all together because I was failing to reliably get ADSB data.
