Clarity ADS-B receivers offer a remarkable array of features in a portable unit smaller than a hockey puck.

Sagetech’s new Clarity ADS-B receiver ushers in a new, safer era of flight, giving pilots convenient and affordable access to in-flight traffic and weather data, which until recently was only available through paid subscription.
