Scanner Use

HI

Depends on what and where you want to use it . At your local Airfield
a basic scanner VHF is ok covers the full VHF airband but if your into
mil then one with UHF Mil is for you . Some real nice second hand ones
can be found on the Auction sites. Small ones you can fit in an inside
pocket with headphones are what i use less obvious you have one
Home base scanners cover all sorts of freqs and modes again
depends on what your interest is but with a base scanner dont
neglect to buy a decent Antenna and co-ax loads of places
on www to browse : if your into MODE S receivers and software
is readily available but very Costly .
