Hi guys! I'm completely new to the 'scanning hobby'. I did a Google search for 'scanner forum' and this is the first that came out. The site seemed quite populated so I have decided to come here and ask my questions. Hope you guys don't mind.
I live in Los Angeles, CA and the main purpose of me buying a scanner is to listen to live air traffic control from Los Angeles International Airport. Normally, I would go to liveatc.net and listen from there but the feed has been down for more than 2 weeks now. Maybe, if possible or allowed, I want to be able to listen to the local police/fire department dispatch, whatever its supposed to be called. Finally, the last thing I would also use it for is to setup a feed at liveatc.net. Those are the only things I'm going to be doing with a scanner. All this for $150 max possible?
I saw a feed setup picture from the guy that hosts the LAX feed and he had antenna outside his home. Will a scanner require this? I don't know if its possible considering I live in an apartment.
Topic in question is here:
KLAX feed Set up pics: part deux | LiveATC.net
Thanks in advance.
