Hi folks,
In the market for a scanner for 72mhz (and possibly 50mhz). Doesn't have
to do anything more than tell me if there's something on my channel, and
some measure of signal strength. Basically, the simpler, the better.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, lots to think about.
Cheers,

Remember, a scanner on the ground, will helpo identify the pilot who left
his transmitter on after he landed and put his plane away. But, when
you get hit in the air, don't think you are going to find the problem with
a ground based scanner, unless it's someone else at the site. When
airborne,
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
I recommend the Aerospectra unit, have had mine for 10 years and the
service support and performance are outstanding. Not cheap, but it's
truly an investment. If your club puts on a good sized contest, you
should have one. Does 72, 75, 50 and Ham bands.
