Highly recommended combination of LNA + dongle:

USB receivers / dongles:

Good cheap starting antenna (much better than the whip antennas):

Coax choices:

  • LMR400 or MPD400 is best
  • If the LNA is close to the antenna the rest of the cable run doesn't matter as much.
  • LMR240 or Belden H155 is also quite good coax
  • Short runs or after an LNA: LMR195, CFD200

Better, a little pricier antennas:

Raspberry Pi and sd-card

Filtered low noise amplifiers (LNAs):

Cavity filter:

Interesting filter for other amplifiers (i would still prefer an LNA with builtin SAW filter): https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-SMA-M-F-50-VBFZ-1065-Bandpass-Filter-Mini-Circuits-for-FlightAware-1090MHz/132406298935
