'good choice is uniden bearcat 30xltaround fifty pound.i recently bought one and find it excellent'
thanks for that. Mark
BTW I have also received a message from 'Rob' as to how Im getting on with my Uniden BR330T. I have to say Rob I'm extremely happy with it. Although I had to import it from the US and pay some hefty tax duty when it arrived at the door, it is definitely worth it. It is an awesome scanner (very fast scan). the memory is arranged more like a computers, I can create a 'system' eg. London ATCC and I can then have up to 99 groups within that system containing any number of channels I wish until I have used all the memory. I have several hundred channels stored in many groups and systems and I've only used 6% of my memory area available! In addition to the many other functions and facilities which I've not begun to cover it is as sensitive in my opinion to the 'benchmark' Yupiteru MVT7100.

Airband Radio Advice
Chris has sent the following message:
'Hi Mark, could I ask your advice? My brother is a bit of an aviation nut, and loves attending various airshows when he gets the chance (as do I). For his birthday this year, I thought I'd get him a scanner, so he could listen to the air traffic control and pilot's radio comms. Do you or your readers have any recommendations on a cheap (about £40 to £50) 'my first scanner' for him?Thanks! Chris.'
Well Chris the radio that comes to mind in this price range (maybe a bit more) is the Maycom AR108. It is a good 'entry level' digital scanner offering full VHF airband coverage and tuning steps down to 5KHz which is sufficient for all the new airband channels and also offers about 99 memories I think. If your looking for a radio covering the UHF military band you may need to spend more. Hope this helps, and if any reader has a recommendation to offer please do post a message, thanks. Mark.
