## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE08549:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE08549:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This neat little 3DBi ADS-B 1090Mhz SMA Antenna with Magnetic Base is designed to receive ADS-B data from aircraft! It features an SMA Male connecter, so it's compatible with all ADS-B receivers including [ FlightAware Dongles ](https://core-electronics.com.au/flightaware-pro-stick-plus-usb-sdr-ads-b-receiver.html) , PiAware, Mode S Beast, Radarcape, Kinetic SBS1/SBS3, RTL Dongles, and more. It's designed to attach neatly to an internal metal surface and track planes as they drift on by.

Customers should be aware that ADS-B signals do not penetrate solid surfaces well, and the antenna should be placed high and next to a thin external surface e.g. a window. Don't expect this to work well through 12" of brickwork!
