Oh wow! Choice!<br>I'm thinking about going into scanning air traffic, once Police go digital.<br><br>But I need some help please?<br><br>What I'm wanting to do is pick up the air traffic comms from my house.<br>I live in Pukekohe...<br>http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=pukekohe&sll=-41.244772,172.617188&sspn=47.776056,114.169922&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Pukekohe,+Auckland&ll=-37.208388,174.931355&spn=0.049834,0.111494&z=14<br><br>Which is about a 40min drive from Auckland International Airport... <br>http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=pukekohe&daddr=Auckland+(Auckland+International+Airport)&hl=en&geocode=FQpdyP0dStFsCimbgZht7aoSbTGE0Llj7zIhrg%3BFY9Yy_0d5vtqCiFHVOi6gL7mBA&mra=pd&mrcr=0&sll=-37.115431,174.966888&sspn=0.798325,1.783905&ie=UTF8&ll=-37.131856,175.01564&spn=0.399075,0.891953&z=11<br><br>I've got the freqs off the wiki, and every now and again I visit the airport and have a listen.<br>The trouble is, my Uniden 93XLT has trouble picking up the aeroplane transmissions even when they're in line of sight. The tower seems to be ok though.<br><br>If my 93xlt has trouble when I'm within 100's of metres of the planes, what can I go about doing, to pick the comms up from my house?<br><br>Any help would be much appreciated.<br><br>Thanks heaps,<br>Phil.<br><br><br><br><br> </body>
