Newquay Airport St Mawgan




Neil has asked the following question:

'Hi, I've recently rediscovered my Yupiteru VT25II scanner and thought about taking it on holiday with me. We'll be very close to Newquay Airport (St Mawgan).Is there anywhere online that can tell me what the local frequencies are? I've tried to find something but don't appear to be googling with the right words.'

Neil - the only frequency I can find on the UK Aeronautical Info Service website is 128.425Mhz for approach control. Anybody else able to shed further light here?

Uniden UBC3500XLT Question....


Ken has sent the following question in:

'I have just bought a Uniden 3500XLT with serial lead and software. The problem is in connecting to the PC - I don't have a serial port on my PC, so, on advice from Nevada, I went to Maplin and bought a USB Serial converter and installed it. However on installing the ARC3500 software and connecting the scanner nothing I do helps the PC recognize that the scanner is attached. Would you have any ideas or could you point me to a source for help.

The other think I am trying to get my head around is programming the scanner but I guess that will come in time though I have seen it written that it is easier to do from the PC which is why I wanted to get that going.

Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks

-ken'



I'm afraid I have no experience in connecting my UBC3500XLT to the computer so can any other readers help?
