Well, I just got my new Ramsey catalog this week, and I've been thinking
that the AR1C Aircraft Receiver kit might be a fun project. I live in a
fairly large city, so there is lots of air traffic around. I was wondering
if this would be fun to listen to? Would the receiver still be usable these
days- or are the channels now scrambled- or using some other technology that
would make them un-listenable? Is anyone using this particular kit? Thanks!

The aircraft band is still using AM and not scrambled. Is this a scanner type of
radio, or basically a tuable receiver that only receives one frequency at at
time?

You might be much better off with a scanner that receives the aircraft band.
