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).

 Once instructions are read, it's very simple to operate. ConsIt should have more than five channels you can preset. General CommentsAll in all, it's a good product.It generally allows me to easily listen to the nearby airport CTAF's. This is why I bought it. |
| Works about as expected. ConsIt should have more than five channels you can preset. Also you should be able to scan with the push of one button, not three. Should be able to turn it off and back on and keep scanning. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
| Once instructions are read, it's very simple to operate. It's a good design, and will work for my purposes. ConsCan't pick up air show frequencies. General CommentsAll in all, it's a good product. I'd reccomend it for any aviation fanatic who doesn't want to break the bank on a scanner. |

Date - 7-9-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good sound quality, volume, and sensitivity. Seems rugged. Easy to listen to a single channel. NOT MADE IN CHINA! ConsA little tricky to operate, so I must refer to the manual a lot. It only scans five channels at most. The scanning method sounds like it is klunking through the channels with a lot of battery-draining effort. Have found the AM radio to be entirely unnecessary. Eats batteries quickly, so best used at home with an adapter. One of the crummy rubber knobs on the volume control slipped off and vanished very soon after purchase. General CommentsIt generally allows me to easily listen to the two nearby airport CTAF's which share a frequency. This is why I bought it. |
Date - 5-22-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This seems to get pretty good reception at times. I really enjoy listening to the air comm. ConsThis product looks and feels cheap. The quality seems to be ok but a little extra money may be worth a more durable product. Also, inside my house I get horrible reception. I live right next to the airport and I expected to be able to listen while inside. General CommentsIf you are looking for an ok product for a beginner this is it. It does work, it just is not all that I expected. |

| I unpacked the Air Scan and after figuring out how to set the frequencies I turned it on entered the local airport unicom frequency and started listning to all the traffic. I'm seven miles from the local airport and had no reception problem. ConsI found programming the frequencies a bit difficult. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
| My JD125 receives better then my ICOM. I don't know why and the price for JD125 was about $150 cheaper. If you could just offer a radio with Uhf and VhF like you once did with the JD100 I would be a happy camper! thank you Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 3-22-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Nice with the am/fm bands. ConsThe JD 100 I had to replace had more then 5 presets. True no AM/FM bands but I could use more then 5 presets especially as I am in NYC metro area. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 2-1-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great scanner for basic needs. Good for the air races. ConsKind of large for the pocket. Comes with no holster. General CommentsGood all around, the wife likes this toy. |
Date - 1-30-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Simple, easy design. ConsHorrible reception. I was sitting at the airport and couldn't get reception unless I was out on the ramp. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

| Perfect for listening to ASOS or ATIS on the way to the airport to get a heads up before uncovering, untieing, and starting your plane. ConsIn my opinion it's not good for much else. It doesn't recieve VOR/NAV. Function does not justify the price. General CommentsI would recommend paying the few extra bucks for the Transceiver. Then you have a fully functional backup radio, not just a walkie without the talkie. |
