Did not want to put this in the aviation forum because I'd rather get answers from locals who scan the same stuff. I've never monitored any sort of aircraft or tower before so forgive me. I was wondering if and how I can receive EWR, JFK, Laguardia tower, departure, approach, all of that stuff...

I'm operating my BCD325P2 in a pretty low reception area, and I notice one of my P25 sites is showing 5/5 bars. I hold the frequency (853.800MHz) and drop the squelch. I hear through the static "You're... CBS Sports Radio...", and I suddenly realize that I'm listening to voice from an FM...

First Post! So, I'm taking the test next week to get my HAM license and I'm looking for places to put a VHF antenna for my home base. I'm looking at this tower that's already installed to my house and I'm wondering if it will work. I currently use the TV antenna. The top part of the tower is...

Good evening, I am new to mounting antennas to anything higher than pole that I had constructed in my back yard. I recently moved into a house that has an old tower with a TV antenna mounted to the top. I would like to get the old antenna down and mount my Diamond D-130J to the top. It is to...
