A reader has submitted the following:
'I have just bought a ubc3500xlt but I'm having trouble picking any signals up.Do i need to attatch a different aerial than the one supplied? I live in the Wirral and I can get John Lennon airport air traffic controll but thats about it.Do you have any recomened frequencies for my area?'
I do find the telescopic aerial supplied with the UBC3500XLT very good but of course it all depends on your location etc. with regard to radio reception.
With regard to frequencies, you are directly under sector 29 operated by Manchester (FL195 to FL285) frequency: 118.775.
Above this are:
sector 7 (london FL285 to FL335) frequency: 135.580
sector 4 (london FL335 to FL660) frequency: 132.860
hope this helps, Mark.
