Re: AM receiver convert to ATC receiver

Hi Wayne

I dont see any problem using that kit to listen to ATC.
When I go to the AP on Friday, I will be there with my regen receiver
listening to ATC - and I will be 500 meters from the active runway.
Cheers

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,
