Sporty's Air-Scan VII Portable Scanner
Air Band Scanner with AM/FM Radio and AVIATION INTERRUPT™ Sporty’s Air-Scan® Radio gives pilots and aviation buffs the best of both worlds. Now, with our exclusive Aviation Interrupt feature you can listen to a ballgame, talk-radio or music and never miss an exciting aviation transmission! What is Aviation Interrupt™? While listening to your favorite AM or FM station the Air-Scan VII silently scans up to 5 PRIORITY AVIATION channels for activity. When a signal is detected on any of these channels it INTERRUPTS the original AM or FM program and plays the aviation transmission. When the transmission ends, the Air Scan VII "returns you to your regularly scheduled program." What’s more, the frequency stored in memory channel #1 has priority over all other transmissions—even over the 4 other memory channels. Uses 4 AA batteries (not included).
