			=Radarcape / Airsquitter Selection Guide=

			* '''I am at an airport, which type of receiver do you recommend?''' Radarcape HDR is designed to keep the maximum range but also extend it to very nearby signals like aircraft just in front of the antenna.

			* '''What is the difference between Radarcape and Airsquitter?''' Saying it easily, they both have the same range. Airsquitter has a display for easier debugging and a combined ADS-B/GPS antenna, which, with the Radarcape, needs external components. And finally, the Airsquitter offers FLARM inside the same case.

			* '''What is the maximum reception range?''' If your antenna has a free sight, the maximum range is around 450km. In other words, if you have a free path (Line of sight, LOS) to the aircraft, even just above the horizon, the Radarcape and Airsquitter will receive its signals. Of course long cables will degrade that

			* '''What is the maximum cable length?''' Actually there isn't a maximum cable length! Its all about the attenuation! We follow the rule that the maximum cable attenuation on a rule of thumb should not exceed 3 dB. There are exceptions, of course! So if you have regular cable like our LMR240, that 3dB loss is something between 10m and 15m length. And keeping the convenience of a 6mm diameter cable, we also offer the LMR240 with 20m length.<br>If you need longer length, you just need to take better cable, like our H2000 flex or even better. An somehow drastic example for large size: [https://www.rfsworld.com/product/LCF158-50JL RFS LCF158-50JL](1) has 50mm outer diameter and would be good up to 130m, maybe even 150m. But hoestly, consider using our [https://webshop.jetvision.de/adsb-antennen/ Active Diapson] antennas then, which allows up to around 20 dB cable attenuation.<br><small>(1) with large diameter cables, always keep in mind they have a maximum operating frequency!</small>
