Here we have a very nice air/aviation band receiver kit with digital frequency readout.
Tuning Range : Dual band(88-108MHz,118-136 MHz)Mode : FM /AM
Supply Voltage : 12V (It is recommended to use linear regulated power supply or battery)
Current: 110mA
The performance of the recevier is good, I have used my kit to sucessfully receive ACARS VHF messages as shown in the video. I used Black Cat Syaytems ACARS decoding software - free trial available.
Works well with home made 'flower pot' type 2 meter amateur band antenna I made - so will work even better with a Yagi or Whip tuned to the aviation band.
You also get the FM Broadcast band thrown in as well - only mono not stereo.
Medium difficulity build - no surface mount components.
Designer build instructions are available from their website and I will e-mail my own build instructions to buyers.
Fun kit to build and a good performer.
