<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>I have found Unidens to be a bit deaf anyway compared to
others especially on VHF. I sent my 93 back as it wouldn't get the plods in the
Sth Canty when my Yaesu romped in and so I imported a GRE from the UK which is
nearly as good. Cost about the same too!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>hi phil,<BR> <BR>sounds like you might have "sick" scanner ,
out where you are you should be receving all aircraft siginals !!!!!!
(both sides ) are you using a rubber duck antenna ? or a teloscopic antenna? ,
or some times with cheap antennas the center pin is 2.5mm
where it should be 2.1mm so you may not be getting all of the siginal,
suggest a discone antenna for home use (diamond dj130 is a good one
and good coaxila cable (i use lmr 240) .<BR> <BR>perhaps other
scanner users in your area could check it out for you , or take it to the
com-center !! for a check (i have never use uniden brand for
scanning i found they overload with a good antenna ) in my view the
aor 3000a or 8200/mk 3 re the best )<BR> <BR>hope this
helps,<BR>cheers,<BR>mike<BR> <BR>

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><BR>_______________________________________________
