Rich,

Here is a screenshot of your area showing RadarBox Network traffic all around you (I'm based near Shrewsbury in the West Midlands). If you get your antenna out in the open, the you should get the overflights out to as much as 200 miles, but more likely 100 to 150 miles.

Note my "live" traffic  - no "*" in the aircraft label.  The aircraft with "*" after the callsign I'm picking up from the network.

I've got no idea if Plymouth traffic is ADS-B equipped - as you will have gathered, not all aircraft transmit the data we need to see them on RadarBox.  Of course, you will still be able to see the network data shared by other RadarBox users. There is a bit of a "black hole" over Devon, so your data would be appreciated!
