Compact Dual-Band ADS-B Traffic Receiver
The uAvionix pingUSB is a compact, lightweight dual-band ADS-B traffic receiver that lets you view nearby aircraft on compatible Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) apps and PC-based applications. It receives ADS-B traffic on both 978 MHz UAT and 1090 MHz ES frequencies for a more complete picture of nearby equipped aircraft.
Live ADS-B Traffic on Your EFB
pingUSB delivers real-time ADS-B traffic position reports to compatible EFB apps using the GDL 90 protocol. Compatible apps include ForeFlight Mobile, EasyVFR, AirMate, OzRunways, WingX, iFly EFB, FlyQ EFB, Avare, FltPlan Go, Naviator, SkyDemon, and others.
Compact and Lightweight
Weighing only 5 grams and measuring just 34 x 19 x 8 mm, pingUSB is extremely compact and easy to integrate into portable or installed applications.
USB and MAVLink Connectivity
In addition to wireless EFB connectivity, pingUSB provides a direct USB connection for PC-based applications. It integrates with applications such as the open-source Virtual Radar Server for real-time aircraft identification and visualization. A MAVLink serial interface supports high-speed data transfer at 57,600 bps.
pingUSB is also plug-and-play compatible with the senseFly eMotion UAS Ground Control Station (GCS) software platform.

Works great!
- By Tom from Battle Ground WA USA on Sunday, August 24, 2025
- Pros: Quick and easy, does not block much of a window, nothing to fall off the instrument panel
- Review: A lot less mess when I need traffic in the training area. Minor issue is having to plug it into a USB for power, but I usually have the ipad plugged in as well, so I just use a dual USB plug in the cigarette lighter.

Wouldn’t trust it.
- By A Customer from Van Nuys on Friday, July 29, 2022
- Pros: Small
- Review: While on the ground, it worked great. As soon as I was airborne, all the traffic disappeared… just doing pattern in the middle of the city, to try this out, the traffic would disappear every few minutes and re appear for a couple of seconds…. I wouldn’t trust it at all. Returning this product.

simple and effective
- By Marcus from Bonners Ferry, ID on Monday, April 18, 2022
- Pros: small
- Review: I found this to interface effortlessly with foreflight and iflygps. Super portable.

Pretty good!
- By Chicken Little from Great Falls VA USA on Friday, April 15, 2022
- Pros: Dirt simple. Works like a champ with ForeFlight. Super portable.
- Review: I fly in the crowded airspace of Leesburg, VA where the SFRA forces all arriving and departing aircraft into a very narrow corridor which increases exponentially the chance of a mid-air collision. I needed this when I fly airplanes without traffic capability, and it works like a champ with my iPhone and ForeFlight. I use a cell battery pack for the Ping and wedge it between the dash and windscreen. The only issue I have noted is that the Ping does get fairly warm during operation, and can sometimes stop receiving a signal. A quick unplug and replug of the battery pack fixes it instantly.

Review:
Works perfectly with my IFly740B. Plugged it into the USB port of the 740B, selected Ping on the 740B wifi network setting, and it was operational.
Perfect low cost traffic awareness solution for my 61 Champ 7FC .

Works like a champ!
- By Kailua Kid from Leesburg, VA on Wednesday, October 27, 2021
- Pros: Effortless and tiny.
- Review: Super small and super easy. I had it up and running in under a minute. I use this in aircraft that lack an ADS-B in capability -- like the Cessna Skycatcher -- so that I can see traffic in the densely congested area around DC's Leesburg Executive airport where the SFRA seemingly converges all incoming and outgoing traffic into a single mile wide corridor. Its only a matter of time until there's a mid-air there, and I don't want to be that guy. Ping helps me to avoid that tragedy in waiting.

Inexpensive and Effective
- By Aaron from Algona, IA USA on Monday, June 7, 2021
- Pros: Small/discreet, simple to connect and use
- Review: One must remember - this is Traffic ONLY and does not receive the full suite of ADS-B data products such as Weather. That said, I ferry a wide range of aircraft and many are Day VFR only with heavily limited instrumentation. This is a great economical solution that can pack away anywhere and offer Traffic input.

Inexpensive and Effective
- By Aaron from Algona, IA USA on Monday, June 7, 2021
- Pros: Small/discreet, simple to connect and use
- Cons: Doesn't work well unless near a window - especially with carbon fiber aircraft. Does *better* with aluminum aircraft. As long as it isn't surrounded by carbon/metals/etc and is near a Plexi/Lexan window; you're good.
- Review: One must remember - this is Traffic ONLY and does not receive the full suite of ADS-B data products such as Weather. That said, I ferry a wide range of aircraft and many are Day VFR only with heavily limited instrumentation. This is a great economical solution that can pack away anywhere and offer Traffic input.

Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Q: What type of Plug does it use? (micro usb, USBC, etc...)? or is it more like a USB stick that goes girectly into the power source
A: The pingUSB has a micro USB port, so it doesn't plug straight in like a USB stick. A USB cable comes in the box. You plug the micro USB end into the pingUSB and the other end into a USB power source, like a cigarette lighter USB adapter, a battery pack or your PC.

-
Thursday, December 7, 2023
Q: How much power does it require. E.g. with a USB power pack of 10,000 mAh how long would it work?
A: The pingUSB has an input voltage of 4-6V and current is 150mA. Since USB typically operates at 5V, we'll use this as our voltage value. The current is given as 150mA, which is 0.15 Amperes. A USB device, with a power requirement of 0.75 Watts, would be able to operate for approximately 66.67 hours when powered by a 10,000 mAh (or 50 Wh) USB power pack. This is under the assumption that the device consistently draws 150mA at 5V and the power pack delivers its full rated capacity.
