I saw this podcast the other weekend, and decided that I, too, would build my own aircraft band receiver. I haven’t completely finished, but the results look promising, as I have heard some chatter on the aircraft control bands. I just need to tune it a bit better and make it portable. This isn’t bad for a $7 radio found at Target.
My only hope is that I can go to the airport and listen to the radio while watching the planes and not get arrested as a terrorist, because as we all know, only terrorists are interested in aviation, not future aerospace engineers.
