much of a landing) And no real danger in that if the wind was "on" the

when they loiter, which has only happened twice to me.

A couple of our club members have ICOM IC-R2 hand-held receivers. These
cover a very wide spectrum -- 500KHz to over 1GHz -- and because they're
receivers they help you identify the interfering signal.
The problem with scanners is that our 72MHz signal gets attenuated
rapidly in built-up areas

This is kind of a neat idea. Now - does such a thing exist where a GPS
receiver is in a plane, and the information is transmitted to a remote
source?
This would be the ideal altitude/distance/lost airplane item, I'd think.
