Supported Single Board Computers (SBCs)
Most importantly: you need a decent power supply. No, not a USB charger. An actual power supply designed for a single board computer. For most RPi3 class boards you can get away with a 5V/2.5A powersupply. For anything more powerful I recommend a 5V/4A power supply.
Boards that are actively tested and should work:

• Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5 (the Pi 5 certainly is overkill and frankly has frequently been perceived as not 100% stable for this task; a Pi 4 with 2G RAM will do just fine)
• Orange Pi Zero3 (currently my favorite when it comes to price / performance) -- but for just a little more money you can get a 1GB Pi4 which is still preferable
• Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, Pi Model 3 A+/B(+) (note that a Raspberry Pi Zero W will NOT work; also, these models are more likely to exhibit some MLAT instability, so if possible go withe one of the other options)
• Libre Computer Le Potato
• Orange Pi 3 LTS (no wifi support), 4 LTS, 5, and 5 Plus (these are all known to work, but not tested regularly)
• Nano Pi NEO 3
• Odroid C4 and xu4 (not tested by the developers but in active use)
• There are a number of images for various flavors of x86-64 VMs as well as an x86-64 native .ISO that can be installed on any x86-64 system.

Additionally, the software stack can be installed on any board that supports DietPi, and even on most Debian or Ubuntu Linux systems. Please note that installing the adsb.im software in a VM is known to cause MLAT issues when the USB SDR is passed through to the VM.

Supported Software Defined Radios (SDRs)

• Airspy Mini (expensive, but by far the best supported SDR for ADS-B/1090MHz)
• Rtl-Sdr.com v3 and v4 dongle (it appears that the v3 is slightly better for ADS-B use cases)
• AdsbExchange (airplanes.live, airframes.io... this comes in several branded versions) blue stick (includes 1090MHz filter and a low noise amplifier - and it's in a metal housing which really helps with heat dissipation and longevity)
• FlightAware pro stick (includes 1090MHz filter and a low noise amplifier - because of the plastic housing I prefer the one above)
• RadarBox green stick (includes 1090MHz filter and a low noise amplifier - this appears to be slightly lower quality than the ones above)
• RadarBox red stick (includes 978MHz filter and a low noise amplifier -- for UAT978)
• Nooelec NESDR SMArt and SMArTee
• Most other RTL2838 based USB sticks should work
• SDRplay RSP1a and RSP1b - other models might work as well

Antennas

• You'll get by far the best results with an outdoor antenna mounted as high as possible (for good visibility to the horizon)
• Matthias Wirth's wiki has a great summary of some of the antenna options

Filters and LNAs (low noise amplifiers)

• some of the recommended SDRs above already include filter and LNA
• especially when investing in the Airspy Mini and a good outdoor antenna, a filtered LNA is a very useful addition. Again, great info on Matthias' wiki
• A cavity filter is the gold standard for filtering and makes a significant difference in very noisy environments. None of the integrated SDRs have a cavity filter - those things are BIG.

SD cards (well, technically µSD cards)

• While the software fits on an 8GB card, it's generally better to go for a larger card as that extends the useful life of the card. Flash cells have a limited amount of write cycles and a larger card will balance the writes across more cells. The software stack tries to reduce unnecessary writes, but we still see especially 8GB cards die fairly regularly.
• Ideally you want a class 10 card from a name brand. ScanDisk Ultra have been known to be reliable
• Many other brands also have decent cards - but shy away from anything where the price is too good to be true
• Personally, for most of my feeders I use 64GB SanDisk Extreme cards - others have been very happy with the SanDisk Industrial and Samsung High Endurance cards.
