Which of the following Air band Scanners do you recommend for both Civil and Military Use?

Question

I am looking to buy a good quality Air Band scanner for use outside Airports. I am looking for one which can handle both Civil and Military Aircraft. I would like to know which you find most professional. I have been looking at the Maycom AR-108 and the Uniden Bearcat UBC 72XLT!! Are these two any good?

Thanks

Answer 1

I wouldnt go  with anything but  a mako transmitter

but yeah the second one you mentioned would do for what you are looking for

Answer 2

Are you sure you know what you really want to listen to?. If yes, then I would suggest that you get a book called 'Airwaves'. The web site of it's publishers is www.photav.demon.co.uk. It lists ALL frequencies, both civil and military. From that, find a scanner that fits the bill.

Answer 3

\I have been using maycom ar108 and its really good one. i wud recon it.

Answer 4

You'd want to make sure it covers the bands and frequency ranges you want to listen to.  Beyond that, is features.
