    Works as advertised. We live about 7 miles from DFW airport and can easily pickup aircraft that are airborne and some tower transmissions.
    The a.m. radio works better than the one on my boombox.

    Buy rechargeable AA batteries and you will end up saving money.

    It is OK but now that i have it i realize i should have gone for a tranceiver after all... i live close to the airport and could already have made a lot of pilots happy with a radiocheck late at night or advising the active... alas.

    This is a great piece of equipment for the aviation enthusiast. It is extremely easy to use and very straight-forward. I enjoy using this scanner whenever I go near an airport.

    Cons

    You have to be near an airport to pick up a clear signal. Also, the frequency range doesn't go low enough to pick up ATIS at the general aviation airport near my house.

    General Comments

    Overall, this product is great for aviation enthusiasts and anyone who is just getting interested in aviation.
