"Pred02" wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I just bought a radio scanner (radioshack pro-83) and want to listen to airband frequencies, however, I cannot find any on the airband. I tried doing the scan, and even tuning to specific ones, like Boston ATC and whatnot, but cannot hear anything. Other frequencies, such as Police/Fire I hear just fine. I am approximately 10 miles away from a major airport. Am I doing something wrong, or I really have to be close to the airport to hear them on the scanner? Thanks. Kind regards, george Hello Predo, My 83 was deaf in the airband until I switched from the stock antenna to a Diamond RH77CA. The telescoping antenna that Radio Shack caries may also work as well. I did notice that if you have the stalker turned on with the Diamond ant, you get a lot of false captures. I would try the RS antenna, and if that doesn't work you can always return it. Good luck... |
