alt Hacker NewsShow HN: We built the smallest dual-band aircraft tracker
We've been building open source embedded ADS-B receivers for a while, and spent the past 8 months smallifying our existing receiver tech with a new chip from Semtech. Ask me anything about ADSB or hardware manufacturing!

Any plans to launch a competitor to the ForeFlight Sentry? The current Sentry is severely overpriced.
A normal non ADS-B iPad GPS flight module is almost 10% the price of the Sentry

I was about to say, “coolnamesalltaken already has a pretty small one,” but you are them! I’m definitely excited by this project, I have something I wanted to add ADS-B integration to and this looks like an even better option!
As for a question, how do you balance low power with performance? Is there a target range or use case to decide the performance envelope?
