Are there any other portables out there (other than the Sony ICF 2010 and
2001D) that allow listening on the air band (I think that is 116 - 136 MHz)?
I really like the 2010, but I have other radios that do most of what it does
(maybe not as well, perhaps) and thought I might find another radio for the
aeronautical band. I assume some (all?) of the tabletops handle this band.
Am I correct? I'm new at this hobby, so I apologize for nay dumb questions
or comments.

No, most of the tabletop shortwave recievers are just that. Short wave. For
VHF, get a scanner.

You can also listen to aircraft on the shortwave bands when the plane is
over large bodies of water like the oceans. Here's a website with the
shortwave aeronautical frequencies.

starman:

Thanks for passing that along. I'll give it a shot, but with my measly
little wire, Sangean 803a and a location near Chicago, I doubt that I will
be hearing any communications above our oceans. Then again, I'm new at this
and find surprises regularly.

Thanks again,
Harlan
