Stratux ADS-B 1090ES & UAT Radio Module — ABS Case Fit, Low-Power High-Gain Antennas

Stratux 1090ES & UAT radios deliver plug-and-play ADS-B reception with two tuned low-power receivers and high-gain antennas for improved sensitivity and lower power use.

This Stratux radio module is a drop-in upgrade designed specifically for the Stratux ABS injection-molded case. It combines two low-power UAT/1090ES radios tuned to their antennas, high-gain antenna elements, and thermal-optimized electronics to give you reliable ADS‑B reception while minimizing power draw and heat. The unit is supported by the Stratux project and built to work seamlessly in compatible Stratux systems — it will not fit SummitLink cases.

How does this Stratux radio pack improve ADS‑B reception?

The module raises sensitivity by pairing high-gain antennas with radios that are tuned to their antennas for better signal capture across 1090ES and UAT frequencies. Improved front-end design and tuned antenna matching reduce missed targets and extend detection range in many flight environments.

• Two radios each pre-programmed and matched to a tuned antenna
• High-gain antennas for stronger signal pickup
• Improved receiver sensitivity for clearer target returns

Will this unit work with my existing Stratux setup and power constraints?

Yes — the module is built to be plug-and-play with Stratux systems using the ABS injection-molded case. The design focuses on energy efficiency, delivering more than 70% lower power consumption than some conventional radio assemblies, and it dissipates heat more effectively to reduce thermal throttling.

• Direct compatibility with Stratux ABS injection-molded case
• 70%+ lower power consumption for longer operation on limited power sources
• Optimized heat dissipation to maintain performance under load

What installation and support can I expect from Stratux?

Installation is straightforward: the radios come programmed and tuned to their corresponding antennas so you can install and power up without complex calibration. The Stratux project provides software and community support for setup, troubleshooting, and firmware updates.

• Plug-and-play installation with no extra tuning required
• Supported by the Stratux open-source project and community
• Firmware and configuration compatibility maintained by project updates

Are there limitations or compatibility details I should know?

This module is specifically engineered for Stratux ABS injection-molded cases and will not fit SummitLink or other third-party enclosures. Verify your case type before purchase and ensure you follow Stratux wiring and mounting guidance to preserve radio performance.

• Designed for Stratux ABS injection-molded case ONLY
• Will NOT fit SummitLink or different manufacturers’ cases
• Follow Stratux wiring specs to maintain tuned antenna performance

Who is this for? Pilots, avionics hobbyists, and DIY Stratux builders who want a compact, energy-efficient ADS‑B radio upgrade that boosts sensitivity and reduces heat and power demands. If you use a Stratux ABS case and need a ready-to-install, community-supported 1090ES + UAT radio solution, this module provides a practical performance-minded option without requiring advanced RF tuning or enclosure modifications.
