StratuxStratux in Canada and outside the US
What works where
| Feature | Where it works |
|---|---|
| 1090 MHz ADS-B traffic | Worldwide, wherever aircraft broadcast it, on the ground and in the air |
| 978 MHz UAT weather (FIS-B) | United States, and Canada where CIFIB stations are |
| TIS-B and ADS-R traffic | United States (FAA ground stations) |
| GPS | Worldwide |
| AHRS | Worldwide |
Canada
978 MHz UAT isn't US-only. In Canada, a volunteer-run non-profit network called CIFIB operates UAT ground stations that broadcast FIS-B weather. It isn't run by Nav Canada, and coverage depends on where stations are, so check the current list at cifib.ca. Direct 1090 MHz traffic works everywhere.
Flying across the border? Keep both radios. You'll get full FIS-B and FAA traffic services in US airspace.
Europe
Europe uses 1090 MHz for ADS-B. There's no 978 MHz UAT. Many gliders and light aircraft use FLARM, which needs extra hardware. Stratux v2.0 is a single image for every region: you pick your region in the web interface. See Stratux in Europe for FLARM and OGN.
Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere
1090 MHz ADS-B traffic works wherever aircraft are equipped. There are no FIS-B weather broadcasts. Apps popular in the region, such as OzRunways and AvPlan, work with Stratux; see the app list.
Exporting
Shipping a receiver internationally can involve export rules. Check before you send one abroad.
