Well, yes. I thought I gave you some suggestions. To repeat:

"You'd be better scanning or tuning to the specific frequencies the airport
uses. Do an Internet search for the airport and the frequencies it has.
Best start would be the approach or departure frequencies, particularly at a
time you have aircraft operating over or near your home. You can try
control tower and ground frequencies later.

"However, eliminate the distance question for a start. Grab a list of the
frequencies and go to or near the airport and make sure you are receiving
them there. Once you're confident with the scanner at close quarters, try
again from home."

Did you try this?

Hmm.. I cannot hear any frequencies on the airband. I tried tuning into
many of the local frequencies, but even with the search function on the
airband I cannot hear anything. There is a blank noise on 125.0, other
than that nothing. The scan function works fine with tunning to weather
and police/fire frequencies, but nothing for airband.

I suppose I am doing something wrong. I have the Pro-83.

Any suggestions?

kind regards,
