Hi. Iīm a student that is going for the PPL. I would like to listen the
traffic and controllers but i donīt know how.
I just bought a scanner MAycom AR108 but i does not catch the controller.
My question is:
- Does a handheld transceiber (jhp 500, icom 22 or so..) catch the
controller while in ground. (at home for example)..
One idea that came to me is to buy a used COM from an aircraft (cheap of
course) and mount it at home. DO you know where to get this old used COM or
NAV/COM at cheap price. (Do not tell my ebay).
It's all in the antenna.
Go to Jim Weir's website and you will find the plans for an excellent
external antenna you can build.
