That is a new one on me. Can you provide a URL for more information?

Yeah Sure , Here is the link . I have been doing some research and found a few bits on this

The Range only gives you upto around 1 mile so ideal for Airport's . Not sure if this could handle the London Control Traffic though .

For that price, you can just get a scanner that will do the air band, as well as many other bands and with a lot more features, plus range of far more then a mile.

That looks very similar to the ABM1 - Passive Air Band Monitor from Ramsey Electronics:

Untuned broadband receiver. You would find it quite difficult to follow any sort of thread as it will always select the strongest signal (or try to).

It may be an interesting experiment to play with, but not that that price.

new "back box"

Chinese airport ground staff use a similar machine
About $ 20
Aviation band can be well received
The results were pretty good
You can adjust the receiver frequency is about 108-140M AM
