I am in the market primarily for an air band radio that also covers military air. I also listen to some ham radio for sky warn during severe weather. I am debating between BCN 160DN and BCT 125AT. Does the 160DN offer any advantage over the 125AT as far as air band monitoring? I have also considered getting a handheld ham radio to monitor the same since they often receive better than a scanner. I have other radios for monitoring trunked systems which I rarely do much of since getting out of the fire service.
While I do realize each would have an advantage the scanner longer alpha tags and ability to program in the field. The ham radio better receive downsides not be programmable on the fly and shorter alpha tags. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
