Ive heard there will be a common code for Glasgow and Edinburgh
How would that be any different from 7000?

At least on 7401 both units know where to find me, but on a common code, which freq will I be listening to?
Its meant to be a listening squawk to indicate that you are listening but not talking to Glasgow or Edinburgh App. I guess this will filter out the workload from traffic that would typically request a basis service, when routing near but outside their airspace.

Regards which frequency. There's only 2 to choose from and Stirling is usually the handoff point for traffic routing East/West or vice versa.

Scottish Info / 7401 is another option but they dont have radar.
