Hi all

If I change the tank circuit components (reduce the capacitance and
inductance) and change the transistors to appropriate VHF ones, will I
be able to pick up ATC (Air Traffic Conversations) using this
circuit ?

Thanks
Shelto,


I have tried to read and understand the posts in this thread the best I
can. Can someone tell me; Is there a problem for the aircraft industry, or
me, if I sit at the end of Regan National airport outside DC and use this,

As Chris said it's a superhet. Now if the oscillator leaks and the thing runs the usual 10.7MHz IF the oscillator could still land on an active ATC channel. That would mean trouble.

BTW $44.95 is a bit steep. Simple airband radios can be had for less, sans soldering.
