Question

How easy is it to work a airband radio? e.g. connecting it to a aircraft outside?

Answer 1

It's not hard...just search Google or something for frequencies in your area and tune them in on the scanner.  A complete idiot could do it without trouble.

Answer 2

I dont know where you live, but just go to your nearest airport and see if it has an aviation enthusiasts shop. If it has, then buy yourself a scanner, unless you already have one, and also buy yourself a book called airwaves 2008. this will list all you need to listen.
