The "800" can hear the air frequencies, and no, it's not a scanner.
It's funny though, that anyone would sit and listen to any of that, at
length. Darren


Maybe that would be a little dull, but UHF, where military aircraft work, is
a scanning hobby about as exciting as it gets, when you can follow air to
air combat training between just about everything in the inventory of USN &
USAF. 99% of training is all in the clear, and if you happen to live near a
military airfield or bombing range, scanning is a lot of fun. Utility
hobbyists on HF can also follow aircraft (both civilian and military) across
the pond in both directions. For me, copying a military transport over
Egypt complaining that the Saudi's won't clear him over their airspace, is
so much more interesting than anything Radio India does, well that's just me
(and maybe a couple thousand other Ute enthusiasts).
