Remember, a scanner on the ground, will helpo identify the pilot who left his transmitter "on" after he landed and put his plane away. But, when you get hit in the air, don't think you are going to find the problem with a ground based scanner, unless it's someone else at the site. When airborne, your model is in an entirely different arena as far as interferrence is concerned. So be careful. Don't put too much faith in a ground based scanner.
Now, for a reccomendation. One of our memebers bought a scanner from a highly rewspected manufacurer a few years ago. We were not impressed by it's selectivity. You could hear a transmitter on a the flight line on at least three channels, and sometimes 5 (the primary, say ch-42, and adjacent, ch-41 & ch-43and often ch-40 and ch-44). As a HAM, I pruchased a Yeasu VX-5R for 2-m,eter and 440mHz use and was impressed that it also tunes the 72mHz band. When it is set to ch-42, it doesn't respond to any other channel. Makes a real good scanner. .........bc AG4YQ Williamsburg, VA On Tue, 18 Jan 2005, Adam Till (Cal) wrote: > Thanks for all the suggestions folks, lots to think about. > > Cheers, > Adam > RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
