I am interested as to what people think is the best UHF airband receiver
available. I currently use a UBC780XLT for this range, but am considering
an alternative.


The 780XLT is an excellent receiver for this range. I have 7 780's just
for MilAir scanning. I also have several of the newer 250D's, and
785D's. The 785D's are junk in this range, the 250D's are pretty good,
just one step below the 780.

I also have PRO-2006's, PRO2035's, PRO26, PRO2052, and PRO2045's, all of
which are older scanners and go well in this range. But from what I've
seen so far in the shack the 780XLT has a slight advanage for pulling
out the weak sigs and rejecting interference. As you can see my my
shack photos I really like the 780XLT -
